Fixing device

Abstract

A fixing device having at least two threaded rings (10, 12), which between them hold a membrane (14), which is an integral part of this pair of rings (10, 12) and which is kept at a distance from the rings (10, 12) by introduced slots (16, 18, 24, 26), rectilinear in a unmounted state, which all open to the outside into the environment, and by resting against only partially annularly extending webs (20, 22), and having at least one clamping bolt (30), which can be used to adjust the axial distance between the rings, characterized in that at least one clamping bolt (30) passes through the membrane (14) between two adjacent webs (20, 22), that in the unmounted state the membrane is oriented in an undeformed manner in parallel to the rings (10, 12) and in a mounted state it is moved between the webs (20, 22) in a deformed state in the direction of at least one of the rings to at least partially form a slanted or arc course, as soon as the distance (a) between a pair (10, 12) of rings (10, 12) is reduced by means of the relevant assignable clamping bolt, and in that the at least one clamping bolt (30) passing through the membrane (14) passes through adjacent slots (16, 18, 24, 26), which are separated from the membrane (14).
