  • Publication number: 20060006292
    Abstract: The pipe clip comprises an upper part (1) and a lower part (2) connected swivelably with one another by means of a hinge (4). For the closing, securing elements (15, 16) are provided. The pipe clip has a lower supporting face (7) and an upper supporting face (6) which make possible stacking at least two pipe clips. For premounting and attaching on a carrier element (10) in the lower part (2) a bore (8) is provided and an attachment means (9) in the form of a machine screw.

  • Patent number: 6464263
    Abstract: A corrugated-pipe connector has a locking portion with a lip on one side of the locking portion facing the corrugated pipe. The locking portion in the closed condition of the connector is opposite to an interlocking portion. The lip extends along the locking portion and for more than 180° C. of the corrugated pipe circumference between two adjacent corrugated pipe corrugations. The end portions of the lip are closer to each other relative to the symmetric plane than the furthest spaced apart inner contours of the lip which are opposite to each other.

  • Patent number: 6349980
    Abstract: The connecting element (1) is equipped in the region of a connecting portion (5) with a seal (7) which is fixedly connected with the housing (3) of the connecting element (1). Staying elements (9) protect the seal (7) against undue pressing forces. Between the housing (3) and one end of a corrugated pipe (2) a seal (12) is also disposed, which is nondetachably connected with the inner shell (14) of the housing (3) of the connecting element (1).

  • Patent number: 6254145
    Abstract: The connecting component or the connecting fitting (1) comprises at least one locking element which can be shifted-in and shifted-out radially to the longitudinal axis (14) of the fitting (1). The locking element is, for example, connected as a wing (7) via a hinge (22) with the fitting (1) or forms an additional element. On the inside face (10) of the locking element (7) are disposed a multiplicity of locking splice-clips (12) which are resilient. When a pipe end is slid into the fitting (1) with the locking elements (7) closed, these locking splice-clips (12) can be deflected. When load is applied against the insertion direction they become clawed in the pipe jacket. This embodiment permits the shifting-in or dosing of the locking elements (7) in a preassembly step and yet ensures a secure connection. The release of the connection through the radial shifting-out of the locking elements (7) is possible at any time.
