  • Publication number: 20210317935
    Abstract: A profile clamp has a clamp strip that has a base with flanks on both sides. A flank angle ? is enclosed between the flanks and a clamping head is arranged at each end of the clamp strip. For even stress distribution, the flank angle ? decreases from a clamping head of the clamp strip up to a region diametrically opposite the clamping heads, and then increases again from that region to the other clamping head.

  • Publication number: 20210207630
    Abstract: A profiled clamp having a clamp band which itself has a tensioning head at each end. The tensioning heads are connected to each other via a tensioning device. To allow flexible manufacture, the clamp band has a profiled element and a module frame which extends in a circumferential direction, to which the profiled element is connected, and on which the profiled element is supported at least in a radial direction. The tensioning heads are situated on ends of the module frame.

  • Patent number: 10890284
    Abstract: A profiled clamp with a clamping band and a clamping device. The ends of the clamping band each have a clamping head which protrudes radially with respect to a receiving space. The clamping device has two clamping parts and an elongate clamping element connecting the clamping parts. The clamping element extends through the openings in the clamping heads and presses the clamping parts against the clamping heads. The profiled clamp has intermediate elements which are provided between the clamping heads and the clamping parts. The intermediate elements have cutouts through which the clamping element extends, and an application surface for contact against the clamping head.

  • Patent number: 10571056
    Abstract: The invention relates to a clamp, comprising a clamp band and a pre-positioner, wherein the pre-positioner is designed as a supporting band, which has a partial-circle-shaped region, which extends over more than 180°. In order to enable simple production and to prevent loss of the pre-positioner, the supporting band has, at each end thereof, a fastening region bent in relation to the partial-circle-shaped region, wherein the fastening regions are fastened on the same side of the clamp band.

  • 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.
