Abstract
The clamp comprises two members articulated about a common pin. These members form on one side of the pin two half-clamps having profiles complimentary to that of the frustum-shaped nipples fixed to the pipes to be coupled together. On the opposite side, the members form two gripping levers between which is placed a compression spring for closing the clamp. By acting on the levers with the aid of a gripping tool, the clamp is opened and it can then be fitted to the nipples. The tightening of the clamp is controlled by a rocking bolt.
