Abstract: A profile clamp includes a clamp band that has a first axial end, a second axial end, a first circumferential end portion and a second circumferential end portion. A first flange depends from the first axial end. A second flange depends from the second axial end. A first clamping wall projects radially outwardly from the first circumferential end portion. A second clamping wall projects radially outwardly from the second circumferential end portion. An approximately radially extending locking hook is disposed at a free end of the first clamping wall to form a slightly angled tongue. An approximately circumferentially extending web is connected to a radial outer end of the second clamping wall. The web has an opening disposed adjacent to a free end of the web. The free end of the web is angled slightly radially outwardly. The opening is defined by a plurality of edges. An abutment is formed by at least one of the edges.

Abstract: There is provided, for the improvement of single part inventory and shipment as well as easing the handling in the production and/or assembly of a frame for band conveying devices, the frame formed from longitudinal beams held together by cross beams. The longitudinal beams of which in each case are formed as sections open towards the conveying device with outer web and top web extending away from its upper end, with as few single parts as possible and without cost-intensive connection elements and which have adequate load-bearing capacity yet provide significant weight reduction simply, quickly and conveniently in the manufacturing plant for delivery ready assembled or at the site of use despite universality to a very large extent with regard to the most widely differing conveying width and length and different load-bearing capacity properties from sections of the simplest possible, and accordingly most inexpensive cross-sectional contouring.

Abstract: A pipe clamp wherein a C-shaped elastic holder cooperates with a U-shaped confining member to define a space which can receive a pipe with at least some radial play. The end portions of the holder are biased away from each other by an arcuate intermediate portion which extends along an arc of more than 180 degrees, and the end portions of the holder have openings for reception of inwardly bent lugs on the legs of the U-shaped confining member. The end portions are further formed with ramps which guide the lugs toward and into the respective openings when the confining member is in the process of being affixed to the holder. The end portions of the holder move apart as soon as the lugs move into register with the respective openings whereby the lugs are compelled to enter the openings to thereby couple the confining member to the holder.
