  • Patent number: 11491526
    Abstract: A shaping tool for connecting to a shaping device for deforming a portion of a workpiece. The shaping tool includes a clamping device having multiple clamping segments and a compressing head having a depression on one end for forming a portion of the workpiece. The compression head and the clamping device being integrally connected to each other, circumferentially, as a wholly exchangeable single tool unit and being axially movable relative to each other. The compression head additionally, on an opposing side from the depression, an attachment feature for connecting the single tool unit to a shaping piston of a shaping device.

  • Patent number: 11162620
    Abstract: A pipe coupling for connecting a pipe and including a pipe, a pipe union, and a clamping element. The pipe exhibits at least one connecting section and a terminal abutting face. The connecting section is formed in an end region of the pipe, wherein the connecting section exhibits at least one sealing surface inclined relative to a longitudinal axis of the pipe. The pipe union including a receiving section for insertion of at least a part of the connecting section, wherein a sealing connection between the pipe and the pipe union is created, in that the connecting section is clamped between the pipe union and the clamping element. The abutting face has a sealing protrusion and the sealing protrusion is formed as a prominence in the abutting face. Furthermore, a pipe, a swaging tool and a process are also provided.
