ABSTRACT:
A functional element arrangement which includes a functional element which is to be mounted on a component, especially but not exclusively on a brittle or non-rigid component made of a material containing cavities or pores, e.g. plastic, wood, metal foams, plastic or metal filled with hollow bodies, or another relatively soft material, selectively embodied as a sandwich construction or as a composite material e.g. in the form of a single layered or multilayered structure comprising, for example, two layers of sheet metal or plastic and a core made of one of the above-mentioned materials. The invention is characterized in that it is provided with an auxiliary assembly element which enables the functional element to be blocked using forming techniques when it is mounted on the component in a riveting process or a stamping and riveting process. The invention is further characterized in that, preferably, at least one device is provided to ensure rotational security between the functional element and the component and/or between the auxiliary assembly element and the component. The invention also relates to a functional element, an auxiliary assembly element, an assembled component and various methods for producing assembled components.
