A clamp with a clamp band and a mounting element which is connected to the clamp band. In a clamp band of the above-described type, this object is met by connecting the mounting element to the clamp band with a clinch connection. The clinch connection may have a polygonal cross-section. The clamp band and the mounting element may be formed of different materials at least in areas where they contact each other.

Clamp with a mounting element content

A plug-in coupling element having a base body that includes a connection geometry for a fluid line and an accommodation opening. For a simplified installation, the claw array is arranged in the region of the accommodation opening, with the claw array including multiple claws arranged such that they are distributed in a circumferential direction, the claws being tilted from the radial outside to the radial inside.

Plug-in coupling element

Profiled clamp that includes a clamping element, a sealing element having elastically deformable spacers on a radial outside, and a profile band on which the sealing element is held secured against loss. The elastically deformable spacers bear against an inside of the profile band in a non-positive manner.

Profiled clamp with sealing element

Clamping device and method of connecting clamping device that includes a clamping band having a first end and a second end and an engagement geometry on at least one surface; and a tensioning head having a housing attached to the clamping band in the region of the first end and through which the second end of the clamping band is guidable, and an engagement element in the housing that is engageable with the engagement geometry. The engagement element is connected to the housing by a flexible connection, so that the engagement element is swivelable between a pull-through position, in which the clamping band may be pulled through the housing, and an engagement position, in which the clamping screw may engage with the engagement geometry.

Clamping device

Profile clamp and method of connecting two flanged pipes or lines. The profile clamp includes a clamping band having two flanks; and a pre-positioner having at least one attachment section and being connected to the clamping band. The at least one attachment section runs axially beyond one of the flanks and radially inside the two flanks.

Profile clamp with pre-positioner

Hose clamp and method of making hose clamp. Hose clamp includes a clamping band, a clamping screw having a screw head and a threaded shank, and a housing in which the clamping screw is arranged, which has a screw head and a threaded shank. A surface of the screw head facing away from the threaded shank is arched in a convex manner and includes at least three indentations.

Worm thread clamp and method of forming worm thread clamp. The worm thread clamp includes a tension strap having end sections arranged to overlap in a circumferential direction to form a radially inner end section and a radially outer end section, a housing connected to the radially inner end section, and a tension screw arranged in the housing to engage thread elements on the radially outer end section. The radially inner end section is arranged to project from the housing in the circumferential direction and includes a bridge, and a weakening area is enclosed in the bridge. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Worm thread clamp

A hose clamp includes a clamping band, a clamping device and a positioning arrangement, wherein the positioning arrangement has at least one positioner with a base and a claw for being pressed into a hose wall. The claw has a portion protruding inwardly from the base in a pressing direction, wherein the claw has an end which forms with the inwardly protruding section an obtuse angle (&#x3b1;).

Hose clamp

A hose clamp includes a clamping band, a tensioning device and a positioning arrangement for positioning the hose clamp on a hose. The positioning arrangement includes at least two positioners. The two positioners may be arranged at a distance from each other in a circumferential direction of at least 120&#xb0;. Axial stops may be arranged on both sides in a circumferential direction of at least one of the positioners.

A hose coupling with a clamp which can be clamped around a longitudinal axis, wherein the edges of the clamp are located closer to the longitudinal axis than an area of the clamp located between the edges. The hose coupling further includes a pipe, wherein an end portion of the hose can be pushed onto an end portion of the pipe and can be clamped by means of the clamp. The end portion of the pipe is provided with a circumferential holding rib, wherein the end portion of the hose can be pushed past the holding rib and wherein the clamp can be clamped on the hose above the holding rib so that the hose is secured between the holding rib and the clamp. The clamp includes an elastic, circular circumferential metal clamping band of uniform thickness.

Hose coupling

A connection of a hose clamp and a hose has a rubber-elastic ring that surrounds the hose detachably and with elastic pretension. The ring is positioned underneath a clamp strap of the hose clamp. The ring has radial hook-shaped first projections for locking the clamp strap of the hose clamp between the first projections by engaging across edges of the clamp strap. The first projections are formed on edges of the ring. The thickness of the ring in an area located axially between the first projections is 5% to 9% of the wall thickness of the hose.

Connection of a hose clamp and a hose

In a connection of a hose clamp and a hose that is provided with projections, wherein the hose clamp surrounding the hose is pre-positioned between the projections before tightening of the hose clamp on the hose, the projections are arranged on opposed sides of the hose clamp and have gaps. A locking strip with laterally projecting tabs is fastened on an inner side of the hose clamp. The laterally projecting tabs engage in a positive-looking way the gaps.
