Abstract
A sleeve-shaped anchoring element for pipe couplings sealing pipes, with an essentially cylindrical housing and a sealing element of rubber-elastic material that is arranged in the housing. The anchoring element is arranged in the housing and has individual longitudinal supports connected to each other by means of deformable webs and having a C-shaped longitudinal section. Ends of the longitudinal supports are configured as limbs angled radially inwards. Free ends of the limbs can be brought into engagement with at least one of the pipes when the pipe coupling is clamped. Only one single web is provided between two adjacent longitudinal supports, and the two webs of a longitudinal support are arranged offset with respect to each other in the axial direction for connection to the adjacent longitudinal supports.
