The invention aims at improving the arrangement for connecting the edges of two end strips as described in DE-40 09 259. According to the invention, the improved arrangement for connecting the edges of a strip of a locking or compression ring enables enhanced tensile load. By comparison with the arrangement described in DE-40 09 259, the inventive connection has a tonguelike projecting part (21) exhibiting two interspaced lateral sections or brackets (23, 25, 27, 29) in the longitudinal direction of the strip. Said brackets engage in corresponding recesses located in the other section of the strip (5). |
