Abstract
A compression ring with a mechanical connection in which the tongue-like member in the male part is provided with an enlarged head portion defined by transversely extending abutment surfaces forming a right angle with the lateral abutment surfaces of the enlarged head portion whereby the lateral abutment surfaces of the enlarged head portion pass over into the transverse end abutment surface of the head portion by way of a curved portion. The joints of some of the transversely extending abutment surfaces are subjected to swaging action to displace material in such a manner that the tendency of the male and female parts of the mechanical connection to move relative to one another in the radial direction is significantly reduced.
