DEFORMABLE EAR FOR CLAMPS

摘要

A reinforced ear structure for use in a clamp whose clamping band is intended to be contracted by relatively large tightening forces; the ear consists of two outwardly extending leg portions and a reinforced bridging portion interconnecting the leg portions; the bridging portion is provided with a generally pan-shaped, relatively hollow, depressed reinforcement formed by a bottom portion and connecting portions between the bottom portion and the remaining non-depressed bridging portion; the connecting portions thereby extend over substantial parts of the length and width of the bridging portion and the bottom portion is relatively flat.
