Method and apparatus for fastening thin plates (4, 5) overlying one another, via a fastening element formed from the material, which element is obtained by partial stamping separation and/or deforming of plate areas (10, 11) out of the plate plane via a male die (1, 21, 26) and a female die (2, 3, 23 and 31, 32) with subsequent compressing of the plate areas, wherein the plate areas (10, 11) that as the fastening element grip the stamping or deforming hole from behind are leveled into the plate plane, so that after the machining, on the outer surface of the plates that have been fastened together, no nubs remain that are noticeable from the outside. |
