摘要

The method involves supplying a joining element (19) i.e. blind rivet, to a joining tool (12) i.e. blind rivet tool. The joining element is inserted into a holder unit (32) of the joining tool by transferring a transfer device from an initial position into a transfer position. A joining connection (14) is manufactured by the joining element. The joining element is supplied into transfer units (50) of an adding tool through a supply hose (40) when the transfer units are in a starting position. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) an joining tool for manufacturing an joining connection (2) an adding system comprising a feeding unit for joining elements, which comprise a supply hose connected with a transfer unit.
