The rod is held in place between a pair of die segments (11) such that its end (26) of a preset length including the extremity is swageable and protrudes from an upper surface (14) of the segments.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 29, 1994 and granted January 19, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 29, 2014.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
