  • Patent number: 9032592
    Abstract: A band clamp includes an elongated band having a base portion which in cross section extends in a plane and first and second side portions. The first and second side portions of the band protrude away from the plane. A first housing is attached to the band and a second housing is attached to the band in a spaced manner from the first housing. A fastener is attached to one of the first and second housings in an adjustable manner. The fastener selectively engages with another of the first and second housings in a quick connect manner, such that the first and second housings can be brought closer to each other for tensioning the clamp around an associated object.

  • Publication number: 20130127162
    Abstract: A hybrid sheet metal V-band coupling secures peripheral flanges at mating ends of first and second coupling members together. The coupling includes at least first and second V-retainers disposed in end-to-end relation for circumferential receipt over substantially 360 degrees of the peripheral flanges of the coupling members. A sheet metal member engages the V-retainers, and a latch assembly selectively secures the opposite ends of the sheet metal member. The sheet metal member is integrally joined to the V-retainers, for example, by welding or riveting. The latch assembly preferably includes ears formed from sheet metal that each include a first portion integrally secured (e.g., welded or riveted) to the sheet metal member and upturned second portions or lugs. The lugs preferably include embossments that extend outwardly therefrom.

  • Patent number: 5454606
    Abstract: A coupling assembly includes a first coupling element having first and second ends and a second coupling element having first and second ends. A first structure secures the first end of the first coupling element to the first end of the second coupling element. A second structure secures the second end of the first coupling element to the second end of the second coupling element. The second structure includes a latch pivotally and slidably mounted on the second end of the first coupling element and an eyebolt pivotally secured to the first coupling element second end. A nut is selectively threadable onto a threaded end of the eyebolt. A construction is provided which prevents an incorrect installation of the second end of the second coupling element in relation to the latch. The construction can take several forms including a reduced width slot on the latch or protrusions extending into the slot from at least one of the sides of the slot toward the other side thereof.
