METHOD OF SECURING A TUBE WITHIN AN APERTURE

摘要

The locking collar (1) provides a strong joint between a tube (5) and an apertured plate (6). The collar has an outwardly directed flange (2) and an inwardly directed flange (4) and is accommodated on the end of the tube (5) which is then inserted in the aperture in the plate (6). Axial pressure applied to the end of the tube will result in the deformation of the lock and the tube end about the plate aperture resulting in a strong mechanical joint being formed between the tube and the plate.
