Tube connection in particular for connecting two tubular elements of the airframe of a missile

摘要

In a tube connection, particularly for connecting two tubular elements of the airframe of a substantially tubular a missile, the tubular elements to be interconnected have end portions of substantially identical shapes. Each end portion has a smaller-diameter first circumferential section extending through substantially 180 DEG and a larger-diameter second circumferential section also extending through substantially 180 DEG . The larger-diameter circumferential section of each tubular element overlies the smaller-diameter circumferential section of the other tubular element. The circumferential sections are provided with radial bores for connection screws. Arcuate elements having threaded bores are arranged inside the thus interconnected circumferential sections. These threaded bores are aligned with the radial bores of the circumferential sections and threadedly receive the connecting screws.
