Method for establishing a connection
A method for establishing a connection, with the following steps: inserting a sleeve ( 12 ) having a stop flange ( 10 ) into a bore ( 14 ), in such a way that the stop flange ( 10 ) is at a distance from a bore edge ( 16 ); anchoring at least one elevation ( 18 ) of a free end portion ( 20 ) of the sleeve ( 12 ) in the bore wall ( 22 ) by widening the free end portion ( 20 ) of the sleeve ( 12 ); and moving the stop flange ( 10 ) in the direction of the at least one fixed anchored elevation ( 18 ) of the free end portion ( 20 ) of the sleeve ( 12 ), by widening a further portion ( 24 ) of the sleeve.
1. A method for establishing a connection which comprises the following steps:
providing a sleeve that is circumferentially closed and having a stop flange at one end and having a mandrel at a tip end thereof;
inserting the sleeve into a blind bore that is located in parts to be connected, the sleeve being inserted such that the stop flange is at an axial distance from a bore edge at a top end of the blind bore facing the stop flange due to the mandrel contacting a bottom of the blind bore;
anchoring of at least one elevation of a free end portion of the sleeve in the bore wall by widening the free end portion of the sleeve;
moving the stop flange in a direction of the now anchored at least one elevation of the free end portion of the sleeve by widening a further portion of the sleeve; and
maintaining a circumferentially closed state of the sleeve during the widening; wherein
the at least one elevation is at least one circumferential sawtooth-shaped rib or a threaded portion.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bore extends through a construction component and into a construction element.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the widening of the free end portion and of the further portion of the sleeve takes place using the mandrel, which is connected to a traction pin which extends through the sleeve and the stop flange, and tapers conically to a diameter of the traction pin.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the further portion of the sleeve is widened, an outer diameter of the further portion is adapted to an inner diameter of the bore.
5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising applying a tool to at least a portion of the stop flange.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least the free end portion of the sleeve comprises an external sleeve part and an internal sleeve part, which are connected in a form-fit manner or in a friction-locked manner.
7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein a region between the free end portion of the sleeve and the stop flange also comprises the external sleeve part and the internal sleeve part.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein an axial length of the sleeve is reduced by 7% to 16% when as an external diameter is increased by 18% to 20% by the widening.
