<p>An open joining ring, in particular for connecting the peripheral flanges of the two elements forming the washing tank of a washing machine, consists of a channel-shaped element (6) which is curved so as to form a ring and made of metallic material and which has two lateral wings (7) and a central bottom wall (8) which define a substantially C shaped cross-section, with the cavity facing the axis of the ring. The channel-shaped element has, at each of its adjacent ends, a portion (9) staggered radially outwards, which also has its cavity facing the axis of the ring, said staggered portion being formed as a single piece with the abovementioned channel-shaped element. The part of the bottom wall (8a) of the channel-shaped element which connects the bottom wall (9a) of each end portion to that of the immediately adjacent part of the channel-shaped element has a hole (10) which defines, together with the cavity of the end portion (9), a passage for engagement of a clamping bolt.</p> |
