摘要： A coupling is configured to connect to an end of a pipe. The coupling comprises a shield configured to surround the end of the pipe, a clamping band configured to be tightened around the shield and the end of the pipe, and an elastomeric gasket configured to lie between the shield and the pipe. The elastomeric gasket comprises a first thickened region, a second thickened region spaced apart from the first thickened region, a circumferential support band interconnecting the first and second thickened regions, the circumferential support band being spaced apart from the pipe before the clamping band is tightened to provide a groove between the first and second thickened regions, and a sealing rib coupled to a radially inner surface of the circumferential support band and arranged to lie within the groove in contact with the pipe.

摘要： Clamp assemblies and associated methods are disclosed. According to one aspect, a clamp assembly may comprise a shell, a tensioning mechanism, and a retainer. The shell includes a pair of segments sized to be positioned over a joint connection, with the pair of segments being moveable between an open position and a contracted position. The tensioning mechanism is operable to tighten the pair of segments and includes a threaded shaft extending through a segment opening defined in a first segment of the pair of segments. The retainer is coupled with the first segment and includes a first cantilevered flange configured to engage the threaded shaft to retain the threaded shaft in the segment opening when the shell is in the open position.

摘要： A retaining clamp for securing the joints that connect ducting, tubing, filters, or other components is disclosed. The retaining clamp includes a chain of segments that defines a central axis, and a locking mechanism coupled to a first end of the chain and a second end of the chain. A groove is defined in each segment, and the groove is sized to receive a joint connecting ducting, tubing, filters, or other components.

摘要： An improved hose clamp having an annular band having an inner face, tensioning means, and an annular spring liner; the spring liner having a circumferential shoulder near an edge of the liner; and a central, cylindrical, flat, contact portion of smaller circumference than the shoulder, and of smaller width than the inner face of the band. The shoulder is adapted to abut the inner face and the contact portion is adapted to contact a hose or other article to be clamped.

摘要： A hose clamp system is disclosed. The system includes a hose clamp and a guide bracket configured to attach the clamp to a hose substrate such that a desired radial and axial position relative to the substrate outer diameter and hose end is maintained. The hose clamp includes an annular band including a radial inner surface facing toward a central axis and a radial outer surface positioned opposite the radial inner surface and a tension mechanism configured to tighten the annular band. The guide bracket includes an elongated body extending over the radial outer surface and a clip extending outward from the annular band that is configured to engage a hose substrate. The guide bracket is moveably coupled to the annular band such that the guide bracket is permitted to move circumferentially along the radial outer surface of the annular band.
