Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved clamping bracket for supporting or securing together pipe members (or similar shaped articles), and in particular relates to
  • an improved clamping bracket assembly comprises a pair of semi-circular clamp halves which co ⁇ operate together to form a clamping bracket arranged to encircle a pipe to be clamped thereby, each said clamp half comprising a semi-circular body portion having first
  • clamp halves being formed with a slot or cut-out portion at the juncture of said first out-turned flanged end and the clamp half body portion, said slot or cut-out portion extending axially inwards from one side of the clamp half,
  • the fastener means comprises a bolt
  • bracket assembly is capable of withstanding stresses to which exhaust pipe joints are normally subjected during
  • the clamp halves are identical with each being provided with a said axial slot, the second flanged ends being interlocked by axially sliding same together with the slots engaging one within the other.
  • each of the slots has an axial length which approximates to half of the width of the flange so 5. that when said flanged ends are interlocked, their corresponding edge surfaces are flush with one another.
  • each of the clamp halves is formed of strip metal by a pressing operation.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a pipe clamp in its clamped condition according to one embodiment of the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of the pipe 25. clamp halves shown in Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 is a side elevational view of the clamp shown in Fig. 1 ;
  • Fig. 4 is a side elevational view of the clamp shown in Fig. 1 in its spread apart ⁇ condition ready to clamp around a pipe to be clamped;
  • Fig. 5 is a side elevational view of a pipe clamp
  • Fig. 6 is a fragmentary plan view of the interlocked flanged ends of the pipe clamp shown in Fig. 5.
  • the bracket assembly 10 comprises a pair of identical semi-circular clamp halves 11 each formed from a length of strip metal and comprising a semi-circular body portion 12 which terminates at its ends
  • each clamp half 11 is formed with a securing bolt receiving aperture 15, for receiving a securing or clamping bolt 16 for clamping together the flanges 13 in opposed approximately face-to-face
  • Each clamp half 11 is also provided with a slot or cut-out 18 at the junction of the semi-circular body portion 12 and the flange 14, the slot 18 extending axially inwards from one of the margins of the half 11.
  • each of the slots 18 has an axial length which is approximately one half of the overall axial width of the clamp half 11.
  • the slots 18 are sized and shaped to permit the flanges 14 to interlockingly engage in superimposed relationship, and to provide a limited pivotal or hinge connection whereby the halves 11 can be moved apart as shown in Fig. 4, to allow a 5.
  • Use of the clamping device 10 to couple together two pipe elements engaged in spigot-socket relationship, is carried out by interengaging the respective slots 10.
  • one of the interlocking flanges 20 is longer than the other flange 14, the flange 20 being provided with an aperture 21 for receiving a mounting bolt (not shown) so that the clamp 10 may be mounted to a support surface.
  • each of the clamp half body portions 12 is formed with an arcuate strengthening rib 22 which projects radially outwards, the ribs 22 serving to strengthen the clamp halves 11.
  • the invention provides for a very simple, inexpensive yet highly effective, clamping device which is especially suitable for securing together pipe elements of a motor vehicle muffler system.
  • the device will have application in other 5. areas, e.g. scaffolding, where lengths of pipes are required to be joined end to end and clamped together.

Abstract

Un collier de serrage (10) est composé d'une paire de demi-colliers (11) comprenant chacun une partie de corps semi-circulaire (12) pourvue d'extrémités à rebord. Au moins l'un des demi-colliers présente une encoche (18) à la jonction de l'une des extrémités à rebord (14) et de la partie de corps des demi-colliers. La fente s'étend axialement vers l'intérieur depuis l'un des côtés du demi-collier et est conçue de sorte que la paire des extrémités à rebord (14) peut être bloquée en position superposée et former une connexion pivotante limitée pour permettre aux demi-colliers (11) de se séparer et d'être placés autour d'un tuyau à serrer, puis d'être fermés autour du tuyau. Ledit tuyau de serrage comprend également des organes de fixation (16, 19) pour fixer ensemble l'autre paire des extrémités à rebord (13) dans une position d'opposition face contre face. Le collier de serrage (10) est particulièrement destiné à fixer ensemble des éléments tubulaires d'un système de silencieux d'échappement dans un véhicule à moteur.
