  • Patent number: 6874823
    Abstract: A connecting piece for establishing a connecting arrangement for a pipe which can be pressed together comprises a stub which can be inserted into a pipe. Profilings for the pressing-together with the pipe and a stop are on the stub. At least one radially projecting spacer is provided on the stub. The spacer defining a gap for forming a flow duct between the stub and the pipe. The spacer may have an interruption for forming part of the flow duct.

  • Patent number: 6805385
    Abstract: In a non-detachable press fit arrangement between an end portion of a metal pipe and a socket of a fitting, the socket defines an interior space and is formed with an annular anchoring groove which faces the interior space for receiving a sealing ring. The press fit arrangement includes at least one holding element secured to the socket and cold formed together with the socket, whereby the holding element at least partially penetrates the material of the end portion of the metal pipe to realize a positive fit with the metal pipe.

  • Patent number: 6726256
    Abstract: A fitting or a mounting part including an end section extending in a longitudinal direction, which end section can be pressed together with a tube for establishing a connection. The fitting or mounting part has a ring-shaped elevation on the end section forming a space, a sealing ring in the elevation and at least one flow channel in the elevation. The flow channel extends diagonally to a plane in a longitudinal direction of the end section and changes a depth of the space.

  • Patent number: 6581983
    Abstract: A fitting or a mounting part, particularly for the connection with a tube-shaped component, comprises an end section, which can be pressed together for establishing a connection. At the end section, a ring-shaped elevation is arranged in which a sealing ring is disposed. According to the invention, a bulge is provided on the elevation. By means of the bulge, a space is formed between the sealing ring and the wall of the end section, such that a fluid can flow between the tube-shaped components. Only by pressing together this leaky point, will a sealed-off connection arrangement be established.

  • Patent number: 6477757
    Abstract: A pressing tool for the unreleasable connection of two tubes comprises a pressing loop consisting of at least two segments and a tongs-type pressing clamp. The segments situated in the closing areas of the pressing loop and the free ends of the two halves of the pressing clamp are equipped with mutually corresponding coupling devices having a hinge-type construction. Thus, the pressing clamp can be swivelled with respect to the plane of the pressing loop.

  • Patent number: 6427309
    Abstract: Method of forming a compression coupling between a fitting and a tube inserted into the retaining section of the fitting. The method involves use of a shaped part formed so that, during insertion of the tube into the fitting, the sealing ring set into an annular retaining groove of the fitting is not damaged by the sharp, outer edges at the front end surface of the tube. Before or during the insertion of the tube into the fitting, the sealing ring is elastically outwardly deformed from the inner contours by means of at least one installed shaped part. The tube end is then inserted up to a contact surface, which forms the interior boundary of the retaining section of the fitting. There upon, the parts are pressed together by cold deformation of the parts. The method and the shaped parts are installed preferably in sanitary engineering and are used wherever liquids or gaseous media are carried through tubes.

  • Patent number: 6058755
    Abstract: A press tool for non-detachably connecting through cold deformation a fitting and an end portion of a metal pipe received in a socket of the fitting, includes a wraparound ring for placement over the socket of the fitting, and a machine-operated clamping device. The wraparound ring includes a plurality of hinged links and is open at one closing area between two terminal links which are formed with pockets to form grip points for application of the clamping device. The clamping device has a pair of jaws which terminate in lobed ends for engagement in the pockets of the terminal links. The socket of the fitting has formed interiorly a receiving groove which opens inwardly for receiving at least one holding element which is formed with projections or cutting edges for penetrating the material of the metal pipe during radial cold deformation.
