Abstract:
A method for attaching elastic spring elements of a vibration absorber to a metallic mounting plate, the spring elements having cylindrical pegs, each peg having a bead having an annular groove for snapping into a correspondingly-designed opening in the metal mounting plate, the method comprising the steps of:inserting the vibration absorber and the metal mounting plate into a device so that the vibration absorber and the metal mounting plate are disposed above one another and so that the pegs of the vibration absorber are aligned with the openings in the metal mounting plate; passing extensions on the pegs through the openings until the metal mounting plate contacts the beads; grasping the extensions by grippers and pulling the pegs further through the openings until edges of the openings snap into the annular grooves; and cutting off the extensions by cutting knives.
