Abstract
To connect a connection element (12) to one end (10A, 10B) of the strip (10) from which the swaging ring is made, the connection element is placed against said end in such a manner that at least one anchor edge (14) of the connection element (12) is in register with said end, and pressure is exerted on the connection element (12) so as to displace the material of said end (10A, 10B) of the strip that lies beneath the connection element (12) while forming a fixing member (15) in said end that is suitable for co-operating with said anchor edge so as to hold together the connection element and said end of the strip.
