An earthing contact for creating an electrical contact between an earthing cable and a component comprising an electroconductive component surface, comprises an electroconductive contact plate and a fixing element, the contact plate having a first contact surface for placing the contact plate on the component surface, a second contact surface for placing an earthing cable on the contact plate, and a passage for the fixing element, the fixing element comprising a fixing section for fixing the fixing element in the component, a pressure element for pressing the contact plate onto the component surface and a holding section for arranging in the passage of the contact plate, when the pressure element presses the contact plate onto the component surface, the first contact surface being tiltable in relation to the fixing section by a tilting angle of at least 6&#xb0; when the holding section is arranged in the passage.

Earthing contact

A method for fastening a component to a base element, in which method there is produced in the base element a blind bore which defines a depth direction and which has a force transmission surface which has a depth T in the depth direction, wherein the force transmission surface is of frustoconical form with a cone opening half-angle (&#x3b2;) and a mean diameter (d), wherein the blind bore has a conical blind bore base with a cone opening angle (&#x3b1;) and, at the edge thereof, a bevel which extends in the depth direction to a bevel depth L, wherein, in the method, a fastening element is anchored in the blind bore by way of the force transmission surface, and wherein the component is held by the fastening element.

Fastening method

Disclosed is a method for producing a strip for fastening elements, said strip comprising a plurality of interconnected holders, each of which accommodates a shaft of a fastening element. The holders define a fastening direction in which the fastening element can be driven from the holder into a support by a fastening device. The disclosed method comprises the following steps: a) producing a continuous strip defining a longitudinal direction of the strip; b) making the holders from the strip material by means of a deep-drawing process; c) accommodating the fastening elements in the holders.

Method for the production of a strip for fastening elements

A device for driving fastening elements into an underlying surface has a mount for a fastening element, having a through-passage for a driving-in element, by which a fastening element in the mount is driven into the underlying surface in a driving-in direction, having a strip lead-through, which defines a strip plane and a transporting direction and is intended for a fastening-element bearing strip core, having a supporting element for supporting the strip and/or a fastening element, and having a supporting spring, wherein the supporting element can be deflected transversely to the driving-in direction, counter to a force of the supporting spring, when a fastening element is moved in the driving-in direction by the driving-in element in order for the fastening element to be separated from the strip.

Driving-in device

Disclosed is a magazine attachment for a device for driving fastening elements into a support, comprising an attachment part which has a connecting region for connecting the magazine attachment to the device, and a pressing part which has a contact region for placing the magazine attachment against the support. The attachment part and the pressing part are held together in such a way as to be movable along a movement path which is delimited by a normal position and a pressing position. An outer contour of the pressing part has three contact points which define two half-lines forming a right angle. In the normal position and in the pressing position, the attachment part and the pressing part are entirely located within a volume formed by the right angle and a straight line that intersects the two half-lines at the vertex of the right angle.

Magazine attachment and fastening system

The invention relates to a screw, comprising a drive, a drilling tip for producing a bore, said bore having a bore axis and a bore diameter, which drilling tip is spaced apart from the drive in a drive-in direction, and a shaft, which extends from the drive to the drilling tip, wherein the shaft has a stop section, which can be fed through the bore when the drive-in direction of the screw is tilted in relation to the bore axis and which has a stop surface for blocking the feeding of the stop section through the bore when the drive-in direction of the screw is oriented parallel to the bore axis.

Screw, building envelope, and insulating method

A nail-shaped fastening element having a shank, at whose one end a tip is configured and at whose opposite other end a head is configured, and having a sleeve-shaped washer is disclosed. At a first end facing the tip, the sleeve-shaped washer has a first collar that narrows the opening cross section of the sleeve-shaped washer and, at a second end facing opposite the first end, it has a second circumferentially outwardly disposed collar.

Fastening method using a nail-shaped fastening element

A device for fastening a first object to a second object, including a fastening element and a ring element. The ring element has a predetermined bending point.

Fastening device

The present invention relates to a form aligner for concrete formwork, having a fastening part that extends along an axis (A), with a base for purposes of placement onto a structural component and having an opening with an abutment for a fastening element as well as at least one form alignment contact point for a formwork wall. With such a form aligner, several elongated form alignment contact points running coaxially to the axis (A) are provided, of which at least two form alignment contact points constitute form alignment pairs that are in a shared plane.

Form aligner for concrete formwork

The invention relates to a stop element with a stop for contact of a formwork element on the stop element, an abutment for contact with a fixation element, a bottom support for contact of the stop element on an underlying surface, and a support foot for bracing the stop element on the underlying surface, wherein the support foot has a reinforcement rib.

Stop element for contacting and positioning a formwork

A grid holding element has a first leg () at least one free end of which is hook-shaped, and a second leg () having a saddle-shaped attachment section () in which a through-opening () through which a fastening element () is extendable, is formed, a first foot section () that projects from the attachment section in a direction away from the first leg (), and a second foot section () adjoining the first leg (), with a maximal extension length (D) of the first foot section () in a direction perpendicular to a plane (E) defined by the attachment section (), being greater than a maximal extension length (D) of the second foot section () in the direction perpendicular to the plane (E).
