Abstract
The invention relates to a linking device for connecting the front end of a pipe to a structural component, particularly to a sphere to form a junction point with a plurality of pipe connections. The subject of the invention is distinguished in that the pipe (2) has an axially extending longitudinal channel (7) into which is inserted from the front a securing element (4) which is connected via a clamping device (6), abutting with its ends on the pipe (2) and on a structural component (3) and consisting of two opposed clamping jaws (19, 20) held together by a screw connection (39), with a connecting element (5) fixed opposite from the securing element (4) on the structural component (3).
Claims20
A linking device for connecting a pipe to a structural component, to form a junction point, comprising:
- a securing element attached to said pipe and having a free end,
- a connecting element attached to said structural component and having a free end, and
- a single clamping device abutting with its ends on the pipe and on said structural component, said clamping device including two opposed clamping jaws which simultaneously engage said free ends of said securing element and said connecting element, thereby linking said pipe and said structural element, said jaws held together by a screw connection.
A linking device for connecting first and second structural elements, comprising;
- a first securing element having a free end with a circumferential locking projection and configured for connection to said first structural element so that said free end extends from said first structural element,
- a second securing element having a free end with a circumferential locking projection and configured for connection to said second structural element so that said free end extends from said second structural element, and
- a single clamping means having first and second jaws configured for simultaneously surrounding said free ends of said securing elements, and having internal recesses for engaging said circumferential locking projections to maintain said structural elements in a fixed relationship thereby linking said first and second structural elements.
