Description

COUPLING AND CONNECTING MEANS The present invention relates to coupling and connecting means to be used and with pipes of different material and also with hose like fluid conduits of rubber or like There are known and exist many types of conduits for such as water sewage oil pipes and others as well as hose like these latter are composed of pipe or hose sections which are connected to each other by various connecting There are known also in the trade a large number of connecting and coupling means of different configurations and The present invention relates to the kind known as clamp and are used but not exclusively for the repair of metal or synthetic material conduits which have sprung a especially in cases where the immediate and speedy repair is mandatory in order to avoid loss of the respective be it liquid or and the possible environmental damage which might be a consequence of such In its broadest aspects such means comprise a relatively metal band provided with a locking the said band being designed to be placed around a pipe or such that by means of the unique locking system could be tightened around the said The present invention relates to such clamping and coupling means of the type referred to and more particularly to the locking or fastening means The invention now be described with reference to the annexed drawings in 1 is a plan view of the new while 2 is an end view 3 and 4 illustrate the and positions of the new means Turning first to 1 the clamping and coupling means comprise the metal band In when actuall the band is placed in a sleeve like manner around the two pipe ends to be possibly with the interposition of a or around the conduit which has sprung a at the damaged part whereupon both free edge portions of metal band 1 are extended and bent radially outwardly of the circular space 2 of metal band Two complementary plates 3 and one edge of each being bent to form a marginal portion of semi circular profile being placed facing one another form a combined space occupied by a rod or pipe These plates are placed on the edge portion The section of pipe 5 placed within the space formed by the two bent marginal portions of the circular band 1 acting as an axis as will be referred A plurality of nuts and bolts 6 is The bolts passing through plates edge portion The bolts pass through semi spherical pressure bodies so said nuts and bolt heads are in register with the spherical which are seated within bore 8 in plates By tightening bolts edge portion are drawn together in an obvious Spherical bodies 7 enable said nuts and bolts to remain parallel to each insufficientOCRQuality

Claims (4)

97236/3 CLAIMS:

1. A clamp coupling and repairing means for fluid conducting pipe-and hose conduits comprising in combination: a) a relatively wide metal band (in relation to the diameter of the respective conduit), such band being bent to form a circular, sleeve like structure, two free edge portions of which being bent radially outwardly of the space' included by the said sleeve, b) two plate members laid against the two radially extending portions, throughgoing holes being provided in the said plates and the outwardly extended edge portions, a screw bolt passed through the said holes and nuts screwed on said bolts pressing the said plate against one another, so spanning fast the said sleeve around the respective conduit.

2. The means claimed in claim 1, characterised by the position of a round rod or pipe between the two said plates to act as a turning axis for the plates.

3. The means claimed in any of foregoing claims, characterised by the position of two bodies of partly spherical outline against the outsides of the said two plates, such bodies being traversed by the said bolts -and so ensuring the final parallelism of the plates when pressed against one another.

4. Clamping and coupling means according to any one of claims 1 to 3, substantially as hereinbefore described and reference to the accompanying drawings.
