Abstract: The clamping system is used to connect a first and a second tube whose facing ends have bearing surfaces protruding relative to their cylindrical external surface. The clamping system has a clampable collar and a seal. The collar includes a belt able to cooperate with the bearing surfaces of the tubes by this internal periphery delimiting a recess into which the bearing surfaces can be inserted. The seal is supported by the collar in the unclamped state of the latter and includes an annular sealing portion which includes a first washer and a second washer fixed to the first washer by retaining lugs carried by the first washer.

Abstract: A clamping system for connecting a first and a second tube whose opposite ends have clamping surfaces protruding from the cylindrical outer surface of said tubes. The system comprises a collar which comprises a belt able to be clamped around said clamping surfaces, the belt having a first and a second flank between which an internal recess able to receive the clamping surfaces is delimited. The collar carries at least one retaining finger which has a free end portion protruding axially beyond the edge of the first flank, said free end portion having a retaining edge configured to be retained outside the belt by a radially protruding element.

The belt includes a first and a second flank between which an internal recess able to receive the clamping surfaces is delimited. The collar carries an external retaining device having a retaining bar, which protrudes axially from the first flank while being oriented transversely to the axis of the collar and which has a transverse retaining ridge, the bar being able, from a rest situation in which the retaining ridge projects towards the axis of the collar relative to the edge of the first flank in the unclamped situation of the collar, to be elastically deformed to space the retaining ridge away from the axis of the collar.

Abstract: A clamping system for connecting a first tube and a second tube, the clamping system including a collar which includes a belt able to be clamped around clamping surfaces of the first and second tubes, the belt has a first and a second flank between which an internal recess able to receive the clamping surfaces is delimited. The collar carries at least one retaining loop disposed outside the belt. The loop has a first end fastened to the collar and a second end which is free and which is located on the outer side of the first flank. The loop is able to adopt a position of active retaining configuration in which its second end protrudes towards the axis of the collar relative to the edge of the first flank, and to be deformed relative to this active configuration so that the second end is moved radially outwardly.

Abstract: A clamping system for connecting a first tube and a second tube whose facing ends have projecting clamping surfaces includes a collar having a belt able to be clamped around the clamping surfaces and a washer supported by the collar. The belt includes a first and a second sidewall between which is delimited an internal recess able to receive the clamping surfaces. The washer carries at least one foldable retaining finger which has a free end portion projecting axially beyond a first edge of the belt over a distance sufficient to allow manual manipulation thereof, the free end portion having a retaining edge configured, when the end portion is folded towards the axis of the belt, to be retained outside the belt by a radially projecting element.

Abstract: The clamping system comprises a collar that comprises a belt suitable for being clamped around clamping surfaces projecting from tubes. The collar carries a series of angularly distributed foldable fingers, each finger presenting a free operating end projecting axially beyond the first edge of the belt over a distance that is sufficient to enable it to be manipulated by hand. Starting from an initial position in which the fingers define a rest minimum diameter, the fingers are suitable for being folded manually and plastically towards the axis of the belt in order to define a folded-in minimum diameter that is less than said rest minimum diameter.

Abstract: The clamping system for connecting a first tube and a second tube (2, 4) whose facing ends have projecting clamping surfaces (18, 20) comprises a collar (10) that comprises a belt (12) able to be clamped around said clamping surfaces and a washer supported by the collar. The belt (12) has a first and a second sidewall (13A, 13B) between which is delimited an internal recess able to receive the clamping surfaces. The washer carries at least one foldable retaining finger (22) which has a free end portion projecting axially beyond a first edge (13?A) of the belt over a distance sufficient to allow manual manipulation thereof, said free end portion having a retaining edge (21A) configured, when said end portion is folded towards the axis of the belt, to be retained outside the belt by a radially projecting element (2A).

Abstract: The system comprises a clamping collar having a clamping band suitable for being tightened around the abutting ends of the two tubes. The collar has a retaining tab that presents a fastener portion whereby said retaining tab is fastened to the band of the collar and that extends substantially axially towards an attachment portion of said retaining tab whereby said retaining tab is suitable for being attached to the first tube in the vicinity of its first end.

Abstract: The clamping collar has a belt (10) looped back onto itself and having two ends provided with lugs (12, 14) that are upstanding and that are suitable for being brought closer together for tightening the collar. The collar has a spacer (22) having a land (24) extending between the ends (10A, 10B) of the belt (10), and a web (26) having at least a first tab that is upstanding relative to said land, which web extends between the lugs. The spacer is formed by a strip that is folded between a first fold at the junction between the first tab and the land (24) and a second fold situated at a first end of the land, the land having a first double- walled portion between the first and second folds.
