  • Clamping connection unit
    Patent number: 4900063
    Abstract: A clamping connection unit for joining two hollow cylindrical pipes together is described. The unit consists of two abutting identically constructed coupling halves (1,2), an elastic O-ring (16) placed between them and a clamping connection (15) pressing the two coupling halves together. The clamping connection is in the form of a pipe clamp and is chamfered off on the internal surfaces of the clamping jaws to form V-shaped surfaces which slide down on similarly chamfered surfaces of annular ridges at the pipe ends to connect the two coupling halves together without leaving a gap.
