Patent number: 7320486Abstract: A pipe clamp for connecting two partially insertable pipes has a clamping strap that is placed circumferentially about the spherical end sections of the pipes inserted into one another. The clamping strap has two outwardly projecting clamping jaws provided with a hole through which a clamping screw extends. The clamping strap is curved about a transverse axis that is positioned for coaxially inserted pipes in the untightened state of the clamping strap in a central plane of the clamping strap extending perpendicularly to the coaxial center axes of the pipes at a spacing from a center of the spherical end sections of the pipes. The inner radius of the clamping strap in the untightened state is smaller than the outer radius of the spherical end sections such that the sum of the spacing and of the inner radius is greater than the outer radius of the end sections.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2004Date of Patent: January 22, 2008Assignee: NORMA Germany GmbHInventors: Helmut Geppert, Heinz Peter Wolf, Stephan Mann, Michael Sommer

Patent number: 7093328Abstract: A connection of a hose clamp and a hose has a rubber-elastic ring that surrounds the hose detachably and with elastic pretension. The ring is positioned underneath a clamp strap of the hose clamp. The ring has radial hook-shaped first projections for locking the clamp strap of the hose clamp between the first projections by engaging across edges of the clamp strap. The first projections are formed on edges of the ring. The thickness of the ring in an area located axially between the first projections is 5% to 9% of the wall thickness of the hose.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2005Date of Patent: August 22, 2006Assignee: Rasmussen GmbHInventors: Helmut Geppert, Mathias Krauss

Patent number: 6328352Abstract: A pipe coupling includes two sealing rings, each corresponding to one of the pipes. A sleeve is disposed within a retention device. The sleeve has axial end portions, each of which rests against one face of the sealing rings. The retention device has inwardly open grooves, one side wall of which rests against the respective axially inner sides of the axial end portions of the sleeve. The other side wall of the inwardly open grooves exerts an axial force on the other faces of the sealing rings as the clip is clamped, thereby pressing the sealing rings against the pipes.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2000Date of Patent: December 11, 2001Assignee: Rasmussen GmbHInventors: Helmut Geppert, Peter Scheit
