DEVICE CONTAINING SQUEEZABLE SPHERICAL ELEMENT, SQUEEZING METHOD AND SQUEEZING SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F16B19/10 B21J15/04 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: set of inventions relates to automotive industry. Squeezing system for the device used as interface for vehicle elements fastening which interface has spherical squeezing element contains a rod, mandrel and pulling tool. The rod is installed in a sleeve and ends at one its end by spherical element. The mandrel serves to provide rest on thrust flange of sleeve. The pulling tool contains system of grips holding the spherical element. The mentioned device contains the rod ending at one its end by spherical element and the sleeve into which the rod is inserted. The sleeve includes setting portion, deformable portion and thrust flange. Method of mentioned device squeezing contains steps in which the mentioned device is inserted into hole in support until the thrust flange comes in contact with the support, the device is squeezed by applying force so that the thrust flange presses to the support, at the same time applying pulling force to the spherical element.

EFFECT: better spherical element fastening at hard-to-get-to sections.
