Abstract:
1. A method of applying a next pin as a follow-on pin to a stone wherein the stone is held by a preceding pin fixed to the stone by way of a first adhesive bonding location, wherein the preceding pin ( 10 ) is to be separated from the stone to hold it with the next pin as the follow-on pin ( 20 , 30 ), the follow-on pin is fixed to the stone by way of a second adhesive bonding location ( 21 , 31 ) spaced from the first adhesive bonding location; wherein the stone is held by the preceding pin at least during an application of the follow-on pin; the follow-on pin receives a fluid adhesive at a front end thereof and when still being at a distance from the stone and a space between the fluid adhesive carrying front end and the stone is reduced until the fluid adhesive contacts the stone; the fluid adhesive is hardened at the contact location to build the second adhesive bonding location; heat is transmitted to the first adhesive bonding location through the preceding pin, by introducing the heat into the preceding pin at a distance from the first adhesive bonding location to soften or weaken the first adhesive bonding location; a mechanical force component as a transverse force is applied to the preceding pin to release and separate the preceding pin from the stone and holding the stone with the next pin as the follow-on pin at the second adhesive bonding location; and the stone (
