Abstract
A sleeve (1) for guiding, deflecting and holding nail (2), having a sleeve body (3), a deflection opening (4) in sleeve body (3) and a guide (5) which extends into the deflection opening (4), and a process for producing such a sleeve (1). To simplify the production process and to reduce production costs of sleeve (1), it is provided, according to preferred embodiments of the invention, that the sleeve body (3) is formed of a rolled section of a flat material, preferably, a rolled sheet-metal strip.
Claims18
A nail and a sleeve for guiding, deflecting and holding the nail comprising a sleeve body, a deflection opening in the sleeve body and a guide which extends from within the sleeve body to the deflection opening;
- wherein the sleeve body is formed of a rolled section of a flat material;
- wherein at least one circumferential constriction is provided on an inner surface of the sleeve body, and wherein the constriction has an inner diameter which is less than an outer diameter of the nail for exerting a slight clamping pressure thereon.
Process for producing a sleeve for guiding, deflecting and holding a nail having a sleeve body, a deflection opening, in the sleeve body and a guide which extends from within the sleeve body to the deflection opening sleeve body comprising the step of rolling a section of flat material to form said sleeve body;
- wherein a constriction is rolled into the flat material section before rolling of the section of flat material to form the sleeve body.
