Abstract
The invention concerns a clamp having a band-shaped clamping section and a clamping device used to connect the end areas of the clamping sections, which each have a mounting flange extending at an angle to the respective clamping section end, whereby a clamping component acts on the two mounting flanges. It is provided that a reinforcing corner connection (14, 15) proceeds from each of the two lateral edges (12, 13) of each mounting flange (11), the reinforcing corner connection being connected with the respective lateral edge (16, 17) of the end area of the adjacent clamping section (18). Furthermore, the invention concerns a pipe connection having clamps of this type.
Claims9
Clamp having a band-shaped clamping section and a clamping device used to connect end areas of the clamping section which each have a mounting flange extending at an angle to the respective clamping section end area, the clamping section (2) composed of at least two parts (4,5) which are held together by form-locking elements (6,7) in such a way that the form-locking elements can be unhooked and moved, the clamping section (2) having arranged thereon essentially axially extending retaining claws (42), whereby a clamping component acts on the two mounting flanges, characterized therein that a reinforcing corner connection (14, 15) proceeds from each of two lateral edges (12, 13) of each mounting flange (11), each of said reinforcing corner connections being connected with a respective lateral edge (16, 17) of the respective end area of the adjacent clamping section (18), at least said respective reinforcing corner connections, mounting flanges and end areas being formed in one piece, said forming including the steps of punching sheet metal and implementing one or more mechanical shaping processes to said one piece of sheet metal.
