Abstract
The invention relates to a flange ring which is divided in two along a plane extending in the axial direction and wherein, in the zone of the two abutment places each flange half has a bolt at one abutment place and a pocket at the other, so that the bolt on one flange half engages positively in the pocket of the other flange half, the flange ring being formed with holes in both flange halves for the passage of the fastening screws. The characterizing feature of the invention is that the flange ring is divided in the center into two identical halves (1a, 1b) and the bolt (8) so engages positively behind the pocket (9) that the flange halves (1a, 1b) are joined together in the bent state, and after being joined together the flange halves (1a, 1b) cannot be separated in the radial direction with the flange ring (1) flat.

A flange ring which is divided along a plane extending in an axial direction into two identical flange halves each of which has two abutment places, each flange half having a bolt at one of said abutment places and a pocket at the other of said abutment places, so that the bolt of each flange half positively engages in the pocket of the other flange half, the bolt and the pocket of each flange half having means configured so that said two flange halves can only be joined or disengaged by tilting said flange halves out of a plane formed by said two flange halves when they are engaged.
