The invention relates to an attachment element (10) to be crimped blind in an opening (18) of a substrate (17), said element including a metal body (11) consisting of a head (12) and of an elongate tubular shank (13) subdivided axially into a first intermediate area (14) for crimping and linking to the substrate (17), and a second end area (15), the first area being arranged such as to form a flange (19) intended for clamping the substrate (17) against the head (12) during the crimping, the shank (13) being coaxially surrounded by a hollow tube (20) made of a deformable material, characterised in that the tube (20) is formed by a thread or mesh which is open at the two ends thereof, and is provided with a plurality of links (21) distributed on the cylindrical side surface of the shank (13), said tube being configured such as to be compressible when mounted on the shank (13), and to be deployable during the formation of the flange (19), such as to increase the load-bearing effect after crimping. The invention is useful for nuts or rivets to be crimped blind.

A tapped insert to be insert molded comprises a shank provided at its axial ends with flanges delineating two axially opposite heads of the insert. The shank is provided with an internally threaded axial section to form a tapping. Means for blocking the insert in rotation after insert molding and means for blocking the insert axially in translation after insert molding are arranged on the outside of the shank. The shank comprises at least one fusible area of greater axial deformability located between the threaded axial section and one of the heads. The fusible area is configured to deform under a predefined axial compressive force applied to the heads without causing deformation of the threaded axial section. The invention also relates to a method for insert molding such an insert.

Abrégé

The invention relates to a method for crimping an insert (10) to be crimped into a substrate (16), using an application apparatus including an anvil, and in an area where the substrate (16) includes first and second stacked panels (17, 18) and at a distance from each other, wherein the stem (12) is axially inserted into the substrate (16) and the anvil is brought against the distal end of the stem (12), the second segment is axially compressed against the anvil for forming a first bearing ledge (22), the axial compression of the second segment is continued in order to form a crimping bead (23) defining, together with the bearing ledge (22), an anchoring groove (24) surrounding the second panel (8), and the axial compression of the second segment is continued in order to generate a clamping of the substrate (16) between the bearing head (11) and the bearing ledge (22), together with a clamping of the second panel (18) between the bearing ledge (22) and the crimping bead (23).
