Publication number: 20210164597Abstract: A clip has a clip strap which has a first edge and a second edge and a clamping device for clamping the clip strap. The clip strap has recesses which are arranged between the first edge and the second edge and are spaced apart. The clamping device has a guide channel designed so as to complement the clip strap, for guiding through the clip strap. The clamping device has at least one first sprung detent tongue having a first free end, which protrudes into the guide channel and is oriented obliquely with respect to a clamping direction of the clip strap predefined by the guide channel in such a way that when the clip strap is guided through the guide channel in the clamping direction, the first free end latches successively into recesses of the clip strap.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2019Publication date: June 3, 2021Inventors: Andreas Schweigert, Tobias Stein, Detlef Henrich, Jason Walker, Viktor Stoll, Nina Harm, Daniel Kintea, Manfred Krüger

Patent number: 10781952Abstract: A hose clamp comprising a clamping strip extending in a circumferential direction (L) and a tensioning device for tensioning the clamping strip. The clamping strip is provided with at least one clip element, by means of which the hose clamp can be secured on a hose at an axially determinable distance from a hose end. In order to prevent the clip element from canting during the tensioning of the hose clamp, the clip element is held on the clamping strip so that said element can move in the circumferential direction (L).Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2017Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: NORMA Germany GmbHInventors: Manfred Krüger, Detlef Henrich, Yassine Bennai

Publication number: 20190049048Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hose clamp with a clamp band (1), in which plurality of thread teeth (2) are formed which follow one another at a respective spacing and with which a clamping screw (3) of a clamping device of the hose clamp can be brought into engagement, in order to tension the clamp band (1). The clamping screw (3) has a screw thread (4) with a pitch (p). In order to ensure a reliable engagement of the screw thread with the thread teeth even in the case of small diameters, the spacing of the thread teeth (2) corresponds to an adapted pitch (p?) which is adapted to the pitch (p) of the screw thread (4) in the curved state of the clamp band (1).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2017Publication date: February 14, 2019Inventors: Gerrit von Breitenbach, Manfred Krüger

Publication number: 20170356578Abstract: The invention relates to a hose connector with an inner sleeve (2) and an outer sleeve (3) between which an annular space (5) is formed at least in a first end region (4), in which annular space one end (7) of a fluid line (8) is received. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for the fluid-tight connection of one end of a fluid line to a hose connector. The hose connector is intended to be permanently and securely connected to the fluid line with little effort. Therefore, by means of crimping the inner sleeve (2) and the outer sleeve (3) in the end region (4), a force-fitting and form-fitting connection between the end (7) of the fluid line (8) and the hose connector (1) is formed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2015Publication date: December 14, 2017Applicant: NORMA GERMANY GMBHInventors: Detlef HENRICH, Mathias KRAUSS, Manfred KRUEGER, Stephan MANN
