The present invention relates to a fastening unit for fastening to a workpiece, said fastening unit comprising a rivet element and a reshaping element coupled to the rivet element and movable relative thereto, wherein the rivet element has a rivet section and the reshaping element has a reshaping section and a support section, which is arranged at a region of the reshaping element remote from the reshaping section, for axially supporting the fastening unit at an abutment. The rivet section and the reshaping section are designed such that, on an axial relative movement between the rivet element and the reshaping element that is produced by an introduction movement, the rivet section cooperates with the reshaping section and can be reshaped by it in a radial direction.
A fastening unit for fastening to a workpiece, said fastening unit comprising a rivet element and a reshaping element coupled to the rivet element and movable relative thereto, wherein the rivet element has a rivet section and the reshaping element has a reshaping section and a support section, the support section being arranged at a region of the reshaping element remote from the reshaping section, for axially supporting the fastening unit at an abutment, wherein the rivet section and the reshaping section are designed such that, on an axial relative movement between the rivet element and the reshaping element, the rivet section cooperates with the reshaping section and can be reshaped by it in a radial direction.
A component assembly comprising a workpiece and a fastening unit fastened to the workpiece, said fastening unit comprising a rivet element and a reshaping element coupled to the rivet element and movable relative thereto, wherein the rivet element has a rivet section and the reshaping element has a reshaping section and a support section, the support section being arranged at a region of the reshaping element remote from the reshaping section for axially supporting the fastening unit at an abutment, wherein the rivet section and the reshaping section are designed such that, on an axial relative movement between the rivet element and the reshaping element, the rivet section cooperates with the reshaping section and can be reshaped by it in a radial direction, wherein the reshaping section of the rivet section at least sectionally engages behind the workpiece at a side remote from an introduction side from which the fastening unit is introduced into the workpiece.
