  • Patent number: 11280435
    Abstract: A profile clamp includes a profile strip and an annular sealing element, the profile strip having two tensioning heads which are interconnected by a tensioning element. Furthermore, a corresponding sealing element and a conduit connection assembly include a profile clamp of this type. So that the sealing element is held so that it cannot rotate on the profile clamp, the sealing element has a retaining lug which extends radially outwards and is held on the tensioning element.

  • Patent number: 11156315
    Abstract: A pre-positioner for a profiled clamp being formed in two parts with a first element and a second element, wherein the first element can be fastened to a line end and the second element can be fastened to the profiled clamp. The disclosure further relates to a connecting arrangement having such a pre-positioner. To allow a simple mounting of the pre-positioner, the first element is designed to be stirrup-shaped with a foot portion which can be secured to the line end and with a holding portion which is offset radially outwards with respect to the foot portion. The holding portion has a cutout, wherein the second element has a pin which extends in the radial direction and which can be inserted into the cutout.

  • Patent number: 10544812
    Abstract: The invention relates to a clamp comprising a clamp band having a clamping head with two clamping jaws, in each of which a guide-through opening is formed, through which a clamping element for clamping the clamp is guided, wherein at least one contact surface is formed on a respective edge of the guide-through openings, on which contact surface a support surface of the clamping element can at least partially be contacted. In order to achieve minimum inner tensions in the clip, the clamping jaws are arranged at an angle to one another, wherein at least one reinforcing bead is formed in the clamping jaws and one of the clamping jaws has an anti-rotation means for the clamping element.

  • Patent number: 9494265
    Abstract: Profile clamp and method of connecting two flanged pipes or lines. The profile clamp includes a clamping band having two flanks; and a pre-positioner having at least one attachment section and being connected to the clamping band. The at least one attachment section runs axially beyond one of the flanks and radially inside the two flanks.

  • Patent number: 9151422
    Abstract: Profile clamp and method of forming same. The profile clamp includes a first half-shell having a first tensioning head on a first circumferential end and a first connection geometry on a second circumferential end, a second half-shell having a second tensioning head on a first circumferential end and a second connection geometry on a second circumferential end, and, in an installation-ready state, a hinge connection, which is formed by an engagement between the first connection geometry and the second connection geometry, having a limited opening angle.
