  • Publication number: 20210164597
    Abstract: A clip has a clip strap which has a first edge and a second edge and a clamping device for clamping the clip strap. The clip strap has recesses which are arranged between the first edge and the second edge and are spaced apart. The clamping device has a guide channel designed so as to complement the clip strap, for guiding through the clip strap. The clamping device has at least one first sprung detent tongue having a first free end, which protrudes into the guide channel and is oriented obliquely with respect to a clamping direction of the clip strap predefined by the guide channel in such a way that when the clip strap is guided through the guide channel in the clamping direction, the first free end latches successively into recesses of the clip strap.

  • Patent number: 10781952
    Abstract: A hose clamp comprising a clamping strip extending in a circumferential direction (L) and a tensioning device for tensioning the clamping strip. The clamping strip is provided with at least one clip element, by means of which the hose clamp can be secured on a hose at an axially determinable distance from a hose end. In order to prevent the clip element from canting during the tensioning of the hose clamp, the clip element is held on the clamping strip so that said element can move in the circumferential direction (L).

  • Publication number: 20190049048
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hose clamp with a clamp band (1), in which plurality of thread teeth (2) are formed which follow one another at a respective spacing and with which a clamping screw (3) of a clamping device of the hose clamp can be brought into engagement, in order to tension the clamp band (1). The clamping screw (3) has a screw thread (4) with a pitch (p). In order to ensure a reliable engagement of the screw thread with the thread teeth even in the case of small diameters, the spacing of the thread teeth (2) corresponds to an adapted pitch (p?) which is adapted to the pitch (p) of the screw thread (4) in the curved state of the clamp band (1).

  • Patent number: 7029339
    Abstract: A shock-proof electric marine engine, e.g. an engine or generator, is for a marine (Navy) ship, and includes a stator and a rotor in a housing. The stator and the rotor are connected in such a way that they are rotatably displaceable in a counter direction and in a radial/axial manner with limited slack. The rotor and stator form a displaceable unit in relation to the housing, which can be displaced away from the housing with a higher vibration overshoot range. The housing is elastically connected to the marine (navy) ship.

  • Patent number: 6749232
    Abstract: A pipe clamp has a tightenable clamp body and at least one spike strip arranged radially inwardly within the clamp body and slanted toward the axial center of the clamp body. The spike strip and a radially inner side of the clamp body delimit an acute angle therebetween. The spike strip has a first longitudinal edge provided with teeth projecting radially inwardly and slanted axially relative to the clamp body. The at least one spike strip has a second longitudinal edge supported in a radial direction and in an axial direction on the clamp body. An area between the at least one spike strip and the radially inner side of the clamp body defined by the acute angle is free of parts counteracting a bending of the at least one spike strip toward the radially inner side of the clamp body.

  • Patent number: 6692042
    Abstract: A profiled clamp connecting two pipes has an articulated clamp strip having sidewalls and a transverse portion connecting the sidewalls and a tensioning closure around the clamp strip. A conical metal ring is arranged in the clamp strip and has a radially inner edge with teeth having free ends positioned on a circle with a diameter that is smaller than an inner diameter of the sidewalls. The conical ring has a radially outer edge resting in a bend between sidewall and transverse part. The first pipe has a widened end section with a conical transition and a radial flange engaging between the sidewalls. The second pipe has a smooth end section inserted into the widened end section. The outer flange diameter is greater than the inner sidewall diameter and smaller than the inner diameter of the transverse part. A seal rests between the smooth end section and the conical transition.

  • Patent number: 5463946
    Abstract: A continuous material press for the production of material sheets made of substances which require a high pressure and an intensive thickness reduction during the pressing process, with the press including a heated/cooled and driven central drum, and a circulating endless steel belt tensioned around the central drum, with the material to be pressed being guided and pressed between the shell surface of the central drum and the steel belt. An additional stationary pressing device comprised of elastic steel belt sections is located outwardly of the endless steel belt and is mounted in tension to variably increase the pressure on the endless steel belt and thus on the material. An opening is formed in the steel belt section mounted in which is a pipe for delivering compressed air or water vapor to interface on the endless steel belt and the stationary steel belt section, the compressed air or water vapor forming a lubricating film for reducing friction.
