Abstract
A tension ring, particularly for connecting two tube ends, includes several mutually linked segments. A closing device detachably connects two segments with one another. The position of the segments relative to one another is adjustable at least on one hinge element between two segments. As a result of the closing device preferably constructed as a quick-acting closure, a prefixing/pretensioning can be achieved and, subsequently, the tension of the tension ring can be regulated to the desired extent by an adjusting device without opening the closing device again.
Claims14
A tension ring for connecting two tube ends, the ring comprising:
- several mutually linked segments forming a ring shape;
- a closing device detachably connecting two segments;
- a hinge element, configured differently from the closing device, between two segments having a pin located such that the two segments are able to freely rotate about the pin without an adjustment of the pin and for all adjustable positions of the pin without an adjustment of the pin and for all same plane as when the segments are in a closed position;
- and
- the position of the segments relative to one another is adjustable at least at the hinge element between the two segments hinged together.
