Abstract: A displacement machine for fluids, having a displacement chamber, arranged in the manner of a groove in a fixed casing, running approximately spirally from an inlet to an outlet and spanning more than 360.degree., into which chamber a likewise essentially spiral displacement body engages, which is held eccentrically drivably in such a way so as to execute a circular movement limited by the peripheral walls of the displacement chamber, the radii of curvature of the displacement body and the said peripheral walls being dimensioned such that, during its circulating, twist-free movement, the displacement body at least virtually touches the inner and outer peripheral walls at a continuously progressing sealing line.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flange connection for two components, in particular for containers, pipes or the like, with each of the two components having a flange which can be fastened against one another by fastening means and enclose between them a sealing body gripping over the connecting joint between the two components. Each flange, in its end face facing toward the connecting joint, has an annular sealing chamber which widens conically toward the connecting joint and into which a sealing body of annular configuration is positioned. The flanges, when fstened, bear against one another at the end face and together form a sealing chamber which is approximately triangular in cross-section and is virtually completely filled by the sealing body deformed by the fastening.

Abstract: The invention relates to a seal, consisting of an elastomer shaped ring, which is to be pushed onto a cylindrical circumferential surface and supports itself on the latter by a radially acting sealing surface, with an embedded inner ring, consisting of a chamber portion, likewise to be pushed onto the circumferential surface, with a sealing chamber, which surrounds the shaped ring, is undersized relative to the outer contour of the shaped ring and conically widens from the clear inside diameter of the chamber portion toward one face of the chamber portion, and consisting of fastening means which fix the chamber portion with respect to a second surface resting against the face of the chamber portion. For sealing off a cylindrical surface with respect to a second surface standing vertically on the cylindrical axis, it is proposed that the shaped ring have an axially acting sealing surface, preferably lying at right angles to the radially acting sealing surface, for contact with the second surface.

Abstract: A pipe connection for instruments or machines, with a flange on the machine side, which has a means of attachment for connecting a flange on the pipe side.

Abstract: Disclosed is a sealing ring comprising a molded elastomer ring having an inner ring contained therein which forms a pipe joint between two abutted pipe ends. Each of the pipe ends includes a recessed part, a flange or the like, which can be clamped together, for example, by means of a screw, and each of which has a sealing cavity into which the two axial ends of the sealing ring sealing the joint project. The axial ends of the sealing ring are deformed by the clamping together of the two recessed parts or the like and conform to the contour of the interior of the corresponding sealing cavity. To facilitate assembly and improve sealing properties, the two outer annular edges of the molded elastomer ring which rest against the surface of the two pipe ends are rounded and thus provided with a radius (R1).

Abstract: An elastic connection which functions as a compensator between two pipe ends or the like arranged at a distance from one another, consisting of a bellows body which is arranged between two counter-flanges which, on their respective end face facing the pipe end, are gripped from behind by in each case a rubber-elastic torus of the bellows body, each torus being received in an annular groove. Each counter-flange is connected to a respective flange on each pipe end. In order to make the compensator less expensive and simpler to assemble, the annular groove is formed as an annular sealing chamber which opens conically in the direction of the respective counter-flange.

Abstract: A pipe union for joining two pipe ends in an end-to-end relationship. On each pipe end a flange, at least one clamping element, and one chamber element are fitted , which can be braced against one another and which among them enclose a shaped seal, each of whose two axial ends protrudes into a respective adapted recess of the chamber elements covering the seal. The seal is an outer elastomer ring supported on the jacket faces of the two pipe ends and has a central annular groove open to the inside. An inner ring that overlaps the butt joint is loosely pressed into this central annular groove. The clamping elements are supported with a radially inwardly located clamping rim on the associated pipe end, and with a radially outwardly located clamping rim on a clamping face disposed concentrically with respect to the pipe ends.

Abstract: Disclosed is a clamping element, in the form of an annular disk, for a pipe coupling between the ends of two butt-joined pipes. Each pipe carries a flange or the like loosely slipped onto its respective end. The flanges may be braced against one another, and each flange is provided with a clamp chamber into which a clamping element placed onto each of the pipe ends fits. The clamping element is held on the end of the pipe by means of an inner, radial clamping edge. A clamping surface of the clamp chamber overlaps the clamping element with respect to an outward, radial clamping edge. The clamping element has such a configuration in the axial direction that an axial compression force applied to the element results in an increase in its external diameter and a decrease in its internal diameter. This results in a seal which surrounds the impact point of the joint.
