Abstract
A clamping band for securing together two flanged members formed with annular flanges, such as a filter housing, comprises an elongated flexible member wrappable about the annular flanges of the two flanged members; a draw bolt and shackle for fixing the ends of the elongated flanged members; and a plurality of flat, rigid inserts receivable on the elongated flexible member and spaced along the length thereof, each of the rigid inserts being formed with a recess on one face, constituting its inner face, for receiving the flanges of the two flanged members.
Claims19
A clamping band for securing together two flanged members formed with annular flanges, comprising:
- an elongated flexible member wrappable about the annular flanges of said two flanged members;
- means for fixing the ends of said elongated flexible member;
- and a plurality of rigid inserts receivable on said elongated flexible member and spaced along the length thereof, each of said rigid inserts being formed with a recess on one face, said recess constituting the inner face of the rigid insert, for receiving the flanges of said two flanged members;
- each of said rigid inserts being flat and of sufficiently short length relative to the length of the clamping band such that said elongated flexible member of appropriate length, and with an appropriate number of said inserts, can be used with annular flanges of almost any outer diameter.
A clamping band for securing together two flanged members formed with annular flanges, comprising:
- an elongated flexible member wrappable about the annular flanges of said two flanged members;
- means for fixing the ends of said elongated flexible member, said means for fixing comprising a draw bolt secured to one end received in a threaded socket secured to the opposite end;
- and a plurality of rigid inserts receivable on said elongated flexible member and spaced along the length thereof, each of said rigid inserts being formed with a recess on one face, said recess constituting the inner face of the rigid insert, for receiving the flanges of said two flanged members;
- each of said rigid inserts being flat and of sufficiently short length relative to the length of the clamping band such that said elongated flexible member of appropriate length, and with an appropriate number of said inserts, can be used with annular flanges of almost any outer diameter.
A housing for a device including a pair of housing sections, each formed with an annular flange, and a clamping band for securing together said annular flanges, said clamping band comprising:
- an elongated flexible member wrappable about the annular flanges of said two housing sections;
- means for fixing the ends of said elongated flexible member;
- and a plurality of rigid inserts receivable on said elongated flexible member and spaced along the length thereof, each of said rigid inserts being formed with a recess on one face, said recess constituting the inner face of the rigid insert, for receiving the flanges of said two housing sections;
- each of said rigid inserts being flat and of sufficiently short length relative to the length of the clamping band such that an elongated flexible member of appropriate length, and with said appropriate number of said inserts, can be used with annular flanges of almost any outer diameter.
