Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0202980A1] An assembly clamp comprises an elongate main portion (1) which partly surrounds an accommodation space (2) for accommodating the object which is to be assembled. The clamp further has two clamping members which are compressible to an assembly position. Moreover, engagement means are provided which hold the clamp in a fixing position in the proximity of the assembly position. The engagement means comprise a projection and a recess. The projection is in insertible in the recess and is deformed after the insertion. A method for mounting the assembly clamp entails that the main portion is applied around the object which is to be assembled and that the clamping members are moved towards one another. The engagement means are plastically deformed so that the clamp is locked in the fixing position. A tool for mounting the assembly clamp comprises a lower support surface with centring devices for positioning the clamp and a movable pressing device. At least one of the centering devices is also a deformation device for locking the clamp in the fixing position.
