Abstract
In the case of the pipe connection of two overlapping pipes a flexible ring is arranged between the interior pipe and the exterior pipe and, before the bracing, is axially displaceable on the interior pipe. The flexible ring and the exterior pipe have a spherical interacting outer and inner contour which ensures the angular mobility. The fixing of the pipe connection after the adjustment takes place by two tensioning bows which are fixedly mounted on the exterior pipe. This permits a particularly easy handling during the adjustment and the fixing of the pipe connection.
