Manual and automatic fastening device for a bonding element and method therefor

摘要

A manual and an automatic fastening device for fastening a bonding element to a surface by means of a light-curing adhesive is disclosed. The fastening devices apply the bonding element to the surface with a specific contact pressure, before the light is irradiated onto the bonding element for curing the adhesive. As the bonding element consists of transparent material, the adhesive is cured between the fastening element and the surface.

主权项

1. A manual fastening method for a bonding element realized by means of a manual fastening device having a positioning device and a light source wherein the method comprises the following steps:
a) releasably receiving the bonding element in a holder of the manual fastening device wherein the positioning device is first moved in an installation position releasing the holder, b) positioning the bonding element over a surface by the positioning device of the manual fastening device being displaced into a preparation position in which the positioning device radially surrounds the holder and the bonding element fastened thereto, and positioning the positioning device onto the surface so that the bonding element is brought into a mounting position based on interaction with the surface, c) mounting the bonding element on the surface, and d) securing the bonding element to the surface as a result of light radiation, wherein a light source radiates light in a mounting direction of the bonding element while the positioning device acts as lateral light protection and prevents a radial emergence of light.
