Abstract
The invention relates to a clamping ring for connecting cylindrical units of a missile, which have each a circumferential projection and a flat-conical engagement surface. The clamping ring comprises a circumferential portion bent to a arc of a circle and having two ends, which can be tightened together by means of a turnbuckle. The clamping ring has cheeks along its rims. The cheeks have flat-conical engagement surfaces corresponding to the flat-conical engagement surfaces of the circumferential projections of the cylindrical units to be connected. The clamping ring extends with the cheeks over the circumferential projections of the units. In order to increase the strength of the clamping ring by suitable shaping within a predetermined space, the inner surface of the clamping ring is free from edges and guided tightly about the outer contours of the circumferential projections. Rounded circumferential recesses are provided at the transitions between this inner surface free from edges and the engagement surfaces of the cheeks in order to achieve large transition radii. The outer surface of the clamping ring has a cylindrical section and substantially conical sections in the area of the cheeks, the transition between the cylindrical section and the conical sections being rounded.
