摘要

The invention relates to a functional carrier device consisting of a functional element (12) comprising a shaft part (18), a head part (20), and a rivet sleeve (14). The rivet sleeve (14) can be moved along the shaft element (18) in the axial direction thereof, and the functional element comprises a channel (22) in the transition region between the shaft part (18) and the head part (20), said channel (22) forming a sliding surface for deforming one of the ends of the rivet sleeve (14), and being optionally provided with grooves (24) and/or projections extending in a longitudinal direction. The invention also relates to a tool for use with the functional carrier device, an assembly component, and a method for inserting the functional carrier device into a component (10).
