  • Arrangement for connecting bodies wherein thermally-related constraining forces on the bodies are minimized
    Patent number: 4826303
    Abstract: The invention is directed to an arrangement for connecting bodies together wherein temperature-induced constraining forces are minimized. It is intended to prevent constraining forces resulting from thermally-induced tensions when connecting two bodies by utilizing a suitable connecting member. The connecting member is wedge-shaped and its temperature movement is compensated for by one or more compensating elements disposed between the connecting member and the bodies to be connected.
