CLIP FOR PIPES, HOSES AND THE LIKE

摘要

A clip for sealingly connecting to a nipple (9) a pipe (10), of a material that cold flows when subjected to lasting mechanical pressure for some while. The clip includes a constriction band (1) intended to encircle the pipe (10) and adapted for tensioning by a screw (2), which is rotatably mounted in a holder (3). According to the invention, one end of the band (1) is united to a nut (4) travelling along a screw (2) when the later is turned, while the other end of the band (1) coacts with a spring (5) for biassing the spring when the band (1) is tightened round the pipe (10) with the aid of the screw (2). An indication means (7, 11) is also associated with the clip, and adapted for coation with the spring (5) for automatically indicating that predetermined bias travel has been attained.
