Abstract
The invention relates to a connection device comprising —a line portion () having, at its end, a radially outwardly projecting abutment flange () for butting against a corresponding abutment flange of a further line portion which is to be coupled to the line portion (), and—a ring-segment chain () comprising a plurality of ring segments () connected to one another in a pivotable manner in a common ring plane, wherein the ring-segment ends which formed the chain ends can be latched to one another to give a ring-form connection clamp (). The invention is distinguished in that the line portion is designed in the form of a tubular connection stub () with first thread means () spaced apart axially from the abutment surface () of its abutment flange (), and in that each ring segment () has a radially inwardly projecting clamping flange () and second thread means (), which are spaced apart axially from said clamping flange and correspond with the first thread means ().
