[Also in Divisions B4 and H1] A device for connecting together and on a common axis two tubular members 10, 12, which may be waveguides, includes clamping means comprising at least two parts 17 each provided with a rigid lug 20 and a deformable lug 21, the lug 21 of one part 17 being bent around the lug 20 of the adjacent part. A sleeve 15 may be disposed at the joint between the members and a gasket 16 may be positioned between expanded ends 11, 13 of the members; the ends of the members may be spaced apart, and the connection may be covered with metal foil. In modifications, clinching members (40), Fig. 7 (not shown), have lugs (43) which engage in recesses in flanges (38) of a sleeve (37), metal members (45) and sealing members (44) being disposed between the flanges and members (40) and the latter being secured by the clamping members (46), (b) the ends of the members 10, 12 are provided with flanges surrounded by the clamping members, Fig. 10 (not shown), and (c) clamping members (66), Fig. 14 (not shown), which surround a sleeve (64) positioned between the ends of the members (10) have serrated end surfaces (72) to grip the members.</p> |
