Abstract:
A fixing machine, comprisinga machine frame,a fixing tool attached to the machine frame, wherein the fixing tool can be operated for fixing fixing elements moved into a fixing position,a feeding tool attached to the machine frame, wherein the feeding tool is capable of being operated for transferring the fixing elements into the fixing position and being moved back and forth by a drive element rotatable about a drive axis stationary relative to the machine frame, andsaid feeding tool having a feeding rocker pivotable about a pivot axis stationary relative to the machine frame and a coupling element pivotally connected about a pivot axis to the feeding rocker and fastened to the drive element through a rotary joint, wherein the rotary joint is rotatable with the drive element about the drive axis and has a joint axis extending parallel offset relative to the drive axis,wherein the fixing tool has a first pressing die coupled to the drive element and movable in a reciprocating manner with the drive element,wherein the first pressing die is coupled to the drive element through a first crank drive,wherein the first crank drive includes a first crank-rocker mechanism pivotally connected about a pivot axis to the first pressing die, a first receiving ring fastened to the first crank-rocker mechanism, and a first circular disc rotatably received in the first receiving ring and eccentrically fastened to the drive element,wherein the fixing tool includes a second pressing die which is coupled to the drive element and is thereby movable back and forth opposite to the first pressing die,wherein the second pressing die is coupled to the drive element through a second crank drive,wherein the second crank drive includes a crank-rocker mechanism connected on one side pivotally about a pivot axis to the second pressing die and provided on another side with a second receiving ring, and a second circular disc which is rotatably received in the second receiving ring and is fastened eccentrically at the drive element,wherein the first a nd second circular disks are fastened next to each other on the drive element in the direction of the axis of rotation.
