Bead reinforcement with tubular structure with divisible armature

摘要

Radial device for anchoring one end of a flexible tubular structure to a mating flange, characterized by a flexible tubular structure having a bead reinforced by an armature embedded in rubber, one-piece and rigid at the time of manufacture of the tubular structure but mechanically divisible into predefined segments at the time of the flexible tubular structure mounting, to allow the bead to bend so that it can slide into the bore of the rigid wall. The invention applies to any industrial assembly, for example expansion joints or air suspension diaphragms.
