Abstract
A part for coaxial connection of two tubes having two connection portions each provided with an area for receiving a connection element of each tube. The two connection portions capable of sliding inside one another, between a separated position of the two portions and a tightened position of the two portions. The two receiving areas form a closed contour and are capable of holding the connection elements together.
Claims16
A part for axial connection of two tubes, comprising:
- two connection parts, each provided with an area for receipt of an element for connection of each tube, wherein the two connection parts are configured to slide into one another, between a spaced position of the two connection parts and a tightened position of the two connection parts, in which the two receipt areas hold the connection elements together and form a closed contour;
- wherein each connection part comprises a radial return element configured to pre-position the two connection parts on an end region of the tubes, wherein the radial return elements oppose each other in a direction of relative movement when the two connection parts are slid between the spaced position and the tightened position by retracting into each connection part;
- and
- wherein the radial return element is flexible.
