    摘要: A connection mechanism for connecting electronic devices to each other, includes piping connectors, on which flange portions and guide hole portions are formed, and a piping clamp, which has arm portions having a groove formed to allow the flange portions to be fitted therein and a mechanism for fastening and fixing the arm portions to each other. The connection mechanism enhances workability when an electronic device, which requires an angular adjustment about on an axis of a connection portion thereof, is fixedly connected to another electronic device.

    摘要: A pipe-connecting clamp which is compact, and which can apply a given clamping force through simple operations without using tools. In a clamp (1) for connecting pipes (19) each having a flange (20) at an end thereof, the clamp has first and second clamping members (4, 5) including respective grooves (2) into which a pair of flanges are fitted, a connection member (6) that connects the first and second clamping members in an openable/closable fashion, a roller support member (7) rotatably disposed on the second clamping member, and a roller (8) rotatably supported by the roller support member, wherein the first clamping member (4) has a concave portion (13), and the flanges are pressed and fixed by the first and second clamping members by rotating the roller support member and moving the roller to the concave portion.

    摘要: A horizontal connection arrangement for subsea connection of a first hub arranged on a first subsea module to a second hub arranged on a second subsea module. The first hub is fixed to a first holding unit and the second hub is fixed to a second holding unit. A sliding unit is slidably mounted to the first holding unit so as to be horizontally moveable in relation to the first holding unit. A connector for connecting and securing the first hub to the second hub is mounted to the sliding unit and horizontally moveable together with the sliding unit between a retracted position, in which an outer end of the first hub projects beyond a front side of the connector, and an advanced position, in which the outer end of the first hub is received inside the connector.

    摘要: A reusable clamp for retaining conduit sections or sanitary fittings having circular flanges together includes two gland members movable between open and closed positions. The gland members include two handles projecting outwardly from the gland members and two sets of locking detents formed on a latch finger connected to one gland member and the outer periphery of the other gland member. The locking detents engage to prevent movement of the gland members away from the closed position until a latch release arm coupled to the latch finger is depressed towards one of the handles, which causes the locking detents to disengage from one another and enables re-opening of the clamp when desired. The latch release arm and one or more of the handles also include tie-receiving loops to prevent accidental opening of the clamp unless desired by the end user.

    摘要: A tubular joint comprising first and second tubular members, an annular sealing element positioned between the tubular members and a clamping device for clamping the tubular members to each other with an end face of the first tubular member in contact with an end face of the second tubular member. The sealing element comprises an annular metallic body. Two sealing surfaces on the metallic body are designed to mate with tapered sealing surfaces on the tubular members. A first spring-energized polymeric seal member is mounted to the metallic body and configured to be in sealing contact with a radially extending sealing surface on the first tubular member. A second spring-energized polymeric seal member is mounted to the metallic body and configured to be in sealing contact with a radially extending sealing surface on the second tubular member. Seal members are prestressed upon clamping of the tubular members to each other.

    摘要: The rapid assembly flange joint consists of a connecting device in the form of a constricting collar made up of at least two parts with a shaped groove on the concave face, the groove corresponding to the cross-section of the two coupled flanges of the members that are being connected, and clamping elements in the form of retaining sections on the flanges. The connecting device is provided with fasteners in the form of walls; the retaining sections are in the form of grooves, the width of which is not less than the thickness of the one or two fasteners that engage therewith. The number of grooves is not less than the number of component parts of the connecting device. The rapid assembly flange joint provides for a reliable connection between flanged cylindrical members without the need for additional fastening and clamping elements and without increasing the sizes of the connection point.

    摘要: The invention relates to a maritime supply line with at least two line elements which respectively comprise a jacket pipe, at least two inner lines which are arranged in the jacket pipe and a connecting element arranged at least at one end of the line element for the formation of a watertight connection to a line element to be connected. It is provided according to the invention that the connecting element comprises a connecting flange with a radially projecting collar, on which a radially projecting collar of a connecting flange of the line element to be connected can be placed. For the formation of the watertight connection the two radially projecting collars are incorporated by at least one tensioning clamp and are axially tensioned against each other.
