Patent ID: 8061009

Claim:
Method for connecting several cables of a cable harness with a component, in particular a body part of a vehicle, which has the following steps: a) producing a rivet bushing made of an electrically conductive material with a bushing section smaller in diameter and a bushing section larger in diameter, which together form a first arrangement, b) pushing of eyelet-like cable shoes of the cables onto the bushing section of the rivet bushing with the smaller diameter, wherein a spacer made of at least two parts is arranged on the rivet bushing section with the smaller diameter, c) deforming by an upset process the bushing section of the rivet bushing with the smaller diameter for the formation of a second arrangement, wherein said spacer is arranged between said cable shows and said second arrangement, and thereafter removing laterally the parts of the spacer so that the cable shoes are arranged with play between the first and second arrangement of the rivet bushing, d) pushing of the rivet bushing with the cable shoes held on it onto a stud bolt fastened on the component, and e) clamping the cable shoes between the first and second arrangement of the rivet bushing and thereby immobilizing them in their position relative to the rivet bushing and immobilizing the rivet bushing with the cable shoes held on it on the component by screwing a nut onto the stud bolt.
