  • Patent number: 9599134
    Abstract: A profile clamp is disclosed having an annular clamping band that comprises two circumferential ends having respectively one tensioning head (6) and, at its axial ends, flanks sloped radially inwards, wherein the tensioning heads (6) are connected to one another by a tensioning device and at least one tensioning head (6) comprises a head contact tab (10). The object is to reduce the requirements for precision during installation. For this purpose, it is provided that the head contact tab (10) projects past the tensioning head (6) on at least one side in an axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20130257046
    Abstract: A connection arrangement for a coned flange connection and coned flange connection. The connection arrangement includes a tensioning device bent in a ring shape having a changeable inner diameter, legs projecting radially inwardly from the tensioning device and forming, in an axial direction, an accommodation space, and an insert on which the legs are formed being arranged inside the tensioning device. The insert has a back bearing against an inside of the tensioning device and is arranged to connect the legs. The legs have multiple gaps in a circumferential direction.
