Abstract

Während eine Preßverbindung zwischen einem Fitting (7) und einem in die Muffe des Fittings eingesteckten Metallrohrende bei Metallrohren bis zu einem Durchmesser von 54 mm durch eine zwei Preßhälften aufweisende Preßbacke vorgenommen wird, die unmittelbar auf die Fittingsmuffe aufgesetzt wird, wird die Kaltverformung von Fitting und eingestecktem Metallrohrende mit größerem Durchmesser durch ein Werkzeug vorgenommen, das aus einem um die Muffe des Fittings legbaren Ring aus gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Kettengliedern (2,3,4,5) und aus einer maschinell antreibbaren Preßbacke besteht, die mit zwei Kettengliedern (5) koppelbar ist, die eine Schließstelle begrenzen. Die Kettenglieder (5) sind mit Aufnahmen für Kopplungsenden der Preßbacke ausgerüstet. Die Muffe des Fittings (7) weist eine zum Innenraum geöffnete Aufnahmenut für mindestens ein Halteelement auf, das mit bei der radialen Kaltverformung in das Material des Metallrohres eingrabbaren Vorsprüngen oder Schneiden versehen ist.

Figure 00000001
While a press fit between a fitting (7) and a metal tube end inserted into the socket of the fitting is made for metal pipes up to a diameter of 54 mm by a two-half press jaw, which is placed directly on the fitting sleeve, the cold deformation of fitting and inserted metal pipe end with a larger diameter made by a tool that consists of a settable around the sleeve of the fitting ring of articulated chain links (2,3,4,5) and a mechanically driven cheek plate, with two chain links (5) coupled is that limit a closing point. The chain links (5) are equipped with receptacles for coupling ends of the cheek plate. The sleeve of the fitting (7) has an opening to the interior receiving groove for at least one holding element, which is provided with einbringbaren in the radial cold deformation in the material of the metal tube projections or cutting.
