Eye for reinforcing peripheral region around the hole in a strap and device for fitting the eye to the strap

摘要

The invention relates to a ringless eyelet ( 10 ') comprising a plate ( 11 ) arranged on the display side ( 23 ) of the carrier strip ( 20 ), and a tube-shaped collar penetrating the hole in the carrier strip. The hem of the collar of the eyelet element ( 10 ') is supported on the rear side ( 24 ) of the carrier strip ( 20 ). The aim of the invention is to connect the eyelet to the carrier strip ( 20 ) faster and in a more cost-effective manner. In order to achieve this, the free end part of the collar of the eyelet element ( 10 ') is provided with projections ( 16 ). An essentially closed ring profile ( 50 ), into which the collar projections ( 16 ) are integrated, is created when the collar is hemmed. After hemming, pressure points ( 40 ) are created on the carrier strip ( 20 ) between the collar projections ( 16 ) and the abutment surfaces ( 49 ) formed by the plate ( 11 ), said pressure points reliably holding the carrier strip ( 20 ). Said carrier strip ( 20 ) extends namely inside ( 51 ) the ring profile ( 50 ) beyond the pressure points ( 40 ). An eyelet is obtained using only one.
