Method for connecting overlapping components of hollow punching rivet in joining region, involves supporting overlapping components during cutting process in joining region against cutting movement of auxiliary joining portion

摘要

The method involves pressing a cutting edge of an auxiliary joining portion (3). The two overlapping components (4,5) are interconnected under plastic deformation and are connected to the auxiliary joining portion. The overlapping components are supported at the beginning of the cutting process in the joining region over the entire surface against the cutting movement of the auxiliary joining portion. An independent claim is included for device for connecting two mutually overlapping components in joining region.
