CLAMP ASSEMBLY FOR PRESSURE VESSEL

摘要

A clamp assembly is provided suitable for use with a two part pressure vessel, employing an integral bracket affixed thereto. The clamp is adapted to positively seat at the parting line between the two parts of such vessel. The bracket structure includes two flat members disposed on top of one another with the upper member slidably connected to the lower member and the lower member affixed to the clamp. The top bracket member is provided with a flange which engages a band that is suitably fastened about the periphery of the top portion of the pressure vessel. When it is desired to separate both halves of the vessel, the clamp is released and is urged to laterally move within a prescribed distance as governed by a pair of slots in the top bracket member.
