Abstract
Method for the manufacture of a nail element comprising a plate-shaped body and one or more elongate elements whereby in accordance with the invention in each case at least one elongate element is set at an angle relative to the face of the plate-shaped body and brought into contact with it, whereupon heat, for example from electric resistance welding, is generated at the point of contact for melting the material of the elongate element and the plate-shaped body in order to weld these to each other, so that a nail element may be obtained in a simple manner and inexpensively.
Claims13
A method of manufacturing a nailing connector comprising a plate and at least one elongate element attached to and protruding from said plate, and said method comprising the steps of:
- positioning an element contact point, along a length of said element, in contact with said plate such that said element extends at an angle to, and from opposite faces of, said plate;
- and
- welding said element and plate together at said contact point by heating said element and plate sufficiently to effect melting of materials thereof at said contact point.
