Abstract
A transmission element, which has a permanent nondetachable connection, is producible employing an axial pressing technique using simple means. The transmission element for workpiece connections to be axially compressed includes a flange section and a transmission section. The transmission section exhibits a substantially cylindrical internal peripheral surface, and the wall thickness of the transmission section tapers from the end proximal to the flange section to the end distal to the flange section. The transmission element is manufactured from a heat-resistant plastic.
Claims17
A transmission element comprising:
- a flange section comprising:
- an internal peripheral surface, and
- a catch projection situated on the internal peripheral surface of the flange section that engages with a fitting comprising a plurality of annular peripheral grooves and a plurality of annular partition webs and a main body connecting to a support body, wherein the catch projection engages with the main body;
- a transmission section having a substantially cylindrical internal peripheral surface and a wall thickness tapering from an end proximal to the flange section to an end distal to the flange section, wherein a rigid pipe is inserted within the peripheral surface of the transmission section;
- and
- a bridge section connecting the flange section and the transmission section comprising a plurality of webs;
- wherein the transmission element is manufactured from a heat-resistant plastic further wherein the rigid pipe encompasses the support body, the transmission element at least partially encompasses the rigid pipe, and a sliding sleeve having a contour of an internal peripheral surface adapted to complement an external peripheral surface of the transmission element is partially pushed onto the transmission section so that the internal peripheral surface of the sliding sleeve and the external peripheral surface of the transmission section are at least partially in friction-locked contact to provide a pipe connection.
A pipe configuration comprising:
- a fitting comprising:
- a support body comprising a plurality of annular peripheral grooves and a plurality of annular partition webs, and a main body connecting to a support body,
- a transmission element manufactured from a heat-resistant plastic comprising:
- a flange section comprising:
- an internal peripheral surface, and
- a catch projection situated on the internal peripheral surface of the flange section that engages with the main body;
- and
- a transmission section having a substantially cylindrical internal peripheral surface and a wall thickness tapering from an end proximal to the flange section to an end distal to the flange section, and
- a bridge section connecting the flange section and the transmission section comprising a plurality of webs;
- a sliding sleeve having a contour of an internal peripheral surface adapted to complement an external peripheral surface of the transmission section;
- and
- a rigid pipe;
- wherein the rigid pipe encompasses the support body, the transmission element at least partially encompasses the rigid pipe, the sliding sleeve is partially pushed onto the transmission section, and the internal peripheral surface of the sliding sleeve and the external peripheral surface of the transmission section are at least partially in friction-locked contact to provide the pipe connection.
