- and
- a pressing die which is opposite the press-in die for pressing the free ends of the fixing cramp, which are bent over on the bending-over structure;
- wherein the press-in die can be displaced from an initial position into an end position for pressing in the fixing cramp into the first and second legs;
- wherein the pressing die can be displaced from an initial position into an end position for pressing the bent-over free ends of the fixing cramp at the second leg;
- and
- wherein the forming die has a through-opening for the pressing die.
