This fastening component, which is intended to assemble a first part and a second part, includes a body extending longitudinally along an axis, a head configured to allow the fastening component to be rotated about the axis, and a tip connected to the body. The body has a side wall including fastening means configured to fasten the body to the first and second parts. The tip has a side wall having a shape different from that of a surface of revolution. The tip and the body are connected by a cleavable area configured to be broken in order to detach the tip from the body.

Fastening component, assembly method and assembly device

An attachment component which includes a body, the body having attachment means intended for allowing the attachment component to be assembled with a part including complementary attachment means, an insertion tip arranged at one end of the body so as to allow at least one portion of the body to be inserted through a part made of composite material, an axial abutment intended for halting the insertion of the body through the part made of composite material, and a breakable portion inserted between the insertion tip and said end of the body, the breakable portion being configured to break when a predetermined force is applied to the insertion tip with a view to detaching the insertion tip from the body.

Fastening component and method for manufacturing a composite part with this component

An insert including: a head portion including a docking face configured to receive a welding electrode and a bearing surface configured to come to bear on the first part in order to keep the first part assembled to the second part, a body portion intended to be inserted into the first part, including a welding surface configured to be welded to the second part, the body portion having a cross section smaller than that of the head portion, and thermal decoupling means extending around the body portion to prevent heat released by the body portion from being transmitted to the first part during the welding operation.

Insert intended for the assembly of a first part and a second part by electric resistance welding, and assembly method using this insert

A bolt () includes a screw () and an insert () which can be inserted in the opening () of a wall (). The insert () includes an insert head () and a shaft () including a recess (), the insert head () and the recess () being configured such as to, after deforming the recess (), crimp the insert () on the wall (). The screw () includes a break ring () designed for engaging with the insert head (), directly or indirectly, with a view to deforming the recess () by rotating the screw and thus to obtain the crimping, and designed such that, once crimping is complete, the ring breaks and releases the screw () from the insert head (), thus making it possible to clamp an accessory () to the wall (). The invention also includes an assembly method using a bolt () according to the invention.
