The invention relates to a clamping belt (6) for a pipe coupling (1) for connecting in particular smooth-end pipes (2) in a force-closed manner, which clamping belt has ends (6a, 6b) that overlap each other, wherein the width of the two ends (6a, 6b) of the clamping belt (6) that overlap each other together is no more than the width of the clamping belt (6) in the longitudinal section between said ends (6a, 6b), and also at least one longitudinal slit (6d) extending in the longitudinal direction (6) of the clamping belt (6) is provided at each end of the clamping belt (6), said end being guided through the longitudinal slit (6c) of the other end. A pipe coupling using said clamping belt (6) has a sealing element (3) and optionally an anchoring element (4) that surrounds said sealing element, said anchoring element comprising elements (4a) that follow one another in the circumferential direction. In this case, a recess (4e) is provided in the anchoring element (4) in the area of each clamping screw (8), in which recesses a longitudinal section of the clamping screws (8) at least partially comes to lie. |
