  • Publication number: 20160238167
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fitting for attaching to a threaded connection of a pipe, in particular a water pipe, with a basic body (20), with a threaded portion (22) and with a sealing body (24, 50, 56; 62) arranged on the threaded portion (22), in which the technical problem of simplifying the attachment to a threaded connection of a pipe and configuring the attachment to be more reliable at the same time is solved in that the basic body (20) has a pressing surface (26, 66) on the side situated opposite to the threaded portion (22). The invention also relates to a method for attaching a fitting to a threaded connection of a pipe.

  • Patent number: 9249907
    Abstract: A fitting (1) for connecting a pipe which includes a hollow body (2) made in one piece, which extends in a pipe insertion direction (X) about a longitudinal axis (L). The hollow body (2) includes at least one pressing section (3), which can be plastically deformed in a radial direction (Y) using a press tool (4), which can be attached prior to pressing and which can be detached after pressing. The pressing section (3) includes a circumferential bead (5), which projects outwardly in a radial direction, and which, on the inside, forms a groove (5a) for accommodating a sealing ring. The pressing section (3) further includes at least two cutting blades (6, 7), one arranged upstream of the bead (5) and one arranged downstream from the bead (5), relative to the pipe insertion direction (X). A sufficiently tight sealing is thus ensured, even when using a lead and nickel-free alloy.

  • Patent number: 6874558
    Abstract: An awning including a canvas shaft, a canvas wounded onto the canvas shaft, and a sleeve enclosing the canvas shaft. A stationary support means carries the sleeve. An arrangement for adjusting an inclination of the sleeve by rotation contains one lateral sleeve carrier which is connected to a respective lateral holder and which can be rotated relative to the holder about the awning-canvas-shaft axis. An actuating element, which can be moved serves for adjusting the inclination of the sleeve.
