摘要:
A clamp fitting is formed by an internal segment of metal band wound upon itself, and an external segment of metal band formed about a portion of the internal segment. The internal segment extends for more than one complete circumference such that the outer end of the internal segment overlaps the internal end of the internal segment to form a continuous internal surface. The outer end of the internal segment presents an ear formed by two folds of band placed back to back and projecting radially on the outer periphery of the clamp. The external band segment extends only for a partial circumference. One end of the external segment is attached to the outer face of the internal segment. The other end of the external segment is shaped as a hook capable of hooking behind the ear to maintain the clamp in a tightened position.

A clamp fitting is formed by a metal band wound on itself. One end of the band presents an ear radially projecting on the outer periphery of the clamp. The other end of the band is shaped as a hook capable of hooking behind the ear to maintain the clamp in a tightened position. After hooking, on the face of the metal band located opposite the hook bearing zone, the ear is provided with a member integral therewith and of which a zone is capable of coming into stop contact with the inner face of the hook when the latter is being hooked on the ear. This additional contact with the inner face of the hook prevents any relative displacement of the hook with respect to the ear and consequently any increase in the tightening of the clamp.

A method for manufacturing a ring for swaging from a continuous metal strip includes stamping strip ends to about one-half the thickness of the metal strip. Studs are formed on the ends of the strip. The displaced metal is trimmed from the ends to maintain a uniform width. The strip of metal is cut between adjacent strip ends. The strip is then rolled until the ends of the metal strip are abutted, the compressed strip ends forming a housing for receiving a plate. Plates are fabricated to fit in the housing. Each plate includes corresponding holes for receiving the studs on the strip ends. The studs are riveted in the holes to secure the ring. The holes may be formed on the strip ends and the plate can be formed with studs to secure the ring.

A ring for swaging constituted by a rolled-up length of metal strip whose two ends are bonded together without give rise to significant increased thickness in the bonding zone. The ends of the strip are disposed substantially in contact with each other via their terminal edges, and the thickness of each of said ends is close to half the thickness of the strip. The inside faces of the ends are offset outwardly relative to the inside surface of the ring so as to constitute a housing for a plate whose thickness is close to half the thickness of the strip. A set of complementary studs and holes is provided on the ends of the strip and on the plate, said studs being engaged in the holes and their free ends being riveted to the element opposite from the element carrying them.

The collar is formed by rolling up a strip (10). First fastening means formed by a hook (14) projecting radially are located at a first end (10A) of the strip, while second fastening means comprising a retaining element (12) projecting radially and suitable for constituting with said hook to close the collar are located at the second end (10B) of the strip. The free edge (14A) of the hook is suitable for being engaged beneath a rim (13) formed to project radially outside relative to the collar in the vicinity of the retaining means (12) while the retaining means are engaged beneath the hook so as to close the collar. The hook is preferably formed by an embossed projection regardless of whether or not the rim (13) is present.

The present invention relates to a process for shrinking a ring to be shrunk, placed around an object to be clamped on a cylindrical support and behind an axial obstacle connected to said support. The process comprises the following steps of: a) fitting a shrinking tool around the support, over the axial obstacle, until its jaws in expanded position are disposed in the radial plane of the ring to be shrunk, b) positioning in the jaws, by the rear of the axial obstacle, a spacer presenting a central opening adapted to the ring to be shrunk, and c) finally, tightening the shrinking tool to bring the jaws and the spacer that they contain in their retracted positions.
摘要:
A device for coupling together in leaktight manner two smooth tubes disposed end-to-end, the device comprising a sleeve which diameter can be reduced by a tightening action, and a sealing ring (24) suitable for being disposed inside the sleeve so as to surround the ends of the two tubes. The ring is constituted by a looped flat strip (26) having two longitudinal ends (26a, 26b) suitable for coming into contact with each other when the sleeve is tightened around the tubes (20, 22). The first longitudinal end of the ring is provided with a notch (28), while the second longitudinal end of the ring is in the form of a tongue (30) suitable for being inserted into the notch. Both the width of the tongue and also the width of the notch taper in the direction going along the strip from the first longitudinal end to the second longitudinal end. When the tongue is in a partial insertion position in which it is inserted partially in the notch, the two sides (30a, 30b) of the tongue are suitable for coming into contact with the two sides (28a, 28b) of the notch while the free end (30a) of the tongue remains at a distance from the end wall (28c) of the notch, and, starting from the partial insertion position, the tongue is suitable for penetrating further into the notch under the effect of the tightening.

A sealed coupling comprises first and second endpieces. Beyond its end, the first endpiece has a U-shaped axial extension provided with a transverse groove. The second endpiece is provided with a radially outwardly extending and substantially circular flange. The flange is suitable for being engaged in the groove during relative transverse displacement of the two endpieces. The end of one of the endpieces is provided with a circular sealing gasket. The second endpiece has a resilient collar with a radial face that bears against the second radial wall of the groove, and one of the two endpieces has a projection situated for penetrating into a setback in the other endpiece.

Clamp for joining two metal pipes, particularly of the type constituting the exhaust system of a vehicle engine, the ends in facing relationship of the two tubes to be joined having conical shape complementary bearing surfaces which project with respect to the cylindrical outer surface of the pipes. The clamp is constituted by an open ring of inverted V-shaped cross-section, the two ends of which ring comprise bearing elements for means provided for tightening and holding the ring in its closed position when the clamp has been placed over the pipes to be joined.

A system for connecting a tube (10) to a flexible hose (14) having an endpiece (12). One of the two parts constituted by the tube and the endpiece is suitable for fitting in the other of said two parts in a coupling situation, in which first and second locking means (26, 30) belonging respectively to the endpiece and to the tube co-operate for locking the connection. The endpiece has first and second rings (16, 18) disposed one after the other on a first of the inside and outside faces (15A) of the hose (14), and a tubular body (22) which is placed on the second of said faces (15B) . A sealing gap (20) is organized between the rings (16 and 18), and the gasket for sealing the connection is formed by a swelling (24) of hose material occupying said gap.
