Abstract: A system for connecting a tube (10) to a flexible hose (14) having an endpiece (12). One of the two parts constituted by the tube and the endpiece is suitable for fitting in the other of said two parts in a coupling situation, in which first and second locking means (26, 30) belonging respectively to the endpiece and to the tube co-operate for locking the connection. The endpiece has first and second rings (16, 18) disposed one after the other on a first of the inside and outside faces (15A) of the hose (14), and a tubular body (22) which is placed on the second of said faces (15B) . A sealing gap (20) is organized between the rings (16 and 18), and the gasket for sealing the connection is formed by a swelling (24) of hose material occupying said gap.

Abstract: A clamp fitting is formed by an internal segment of metal band wound upon itself, and an external segment of metal band formed about a portion of the internal segment. The internal segment extends for more than one complete circumference such that the outer end of the internal segment overlaps the internal end of the internal segment to form a continuous internal surface. The outer end of the internal segment presents an ear formed by two folds of band placed back to back and projecting radially on the outer periphery of the clamp. The external band segment extends only for a partial circumference. One end of the external segment is attached to the outer face of the internal segment. The other end of the external segment is shaped as a hook capable of hooking behind the ear to maintain the clamp in a tightened position.

Abstract: A clamp fitting is formed by a metal band wound on itself. One end of the band presents an ear radially projecting on the outer periphery of the clamp. The other end of the band is shaped as a hook capable of hooking behind the ear to maintain the clamp in a tightened position. After hooking, on the face of the metal band located opposite the hook bearing zone, the ear is provided with a member integral therewith and of which a zone is capable of coming into stop contact with the inner face of the hook when the latter is being hooked on the ear. This additional contact with the inner face of the hook prevents any relative displacement of the hook with respect to the ear and consequently any increase in the tightening of the clamp.

Abstract: A device for coupling together in leaktight manner two smooth tubes disposed end-to-end, the device comprising a sleeve which diameter can be reduced by a tightening action, and a sealing ring (24) suitable for being disposed inside the sleeve so as to surround the ends of the two tubes. The ring is constituted by a looped flat strip (26) having two longitudinal ends (26a, 26b) suitable for coming into contact with each other when the sleeve is tightened around the tubes (20, 22). The first longitudinal end of the ring is provided with a notch (28), while the second longitudinal end of the ring is in the form of a tongue (30) suitable for being inserted into the notch. Both the width of the tongue and also the width of the notch taper in the direction going along the strip from the first longitudinal end to the second longitudinal end. When the tongue is in a partial insertion position in which it is inserted partially in the notch, the two sides (30a, 30b) of the tongue are suitable for coming into contact with the two sides (28a, 28b) of the notch while the free end (30a) of the tongue remains at a distance from the end wall (28c) of the notch, and, starting from the partial insertion position, the tongue is suitable for penetrating further into the notch under the effect of the tightening.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a ring for swaging from a continuous metal strip includes stamping strip ends to about one-half the thickness of the metal strip. Studs are formed on the ends of the strip. The displaced metal is trimmed from the ends to maintain a uniform width. The strip of metal is cut between adjacent strip ends. The strip is then rolled until the ends of the metal strip are abutted, the compressed strip ends forming a housing for receiving a plate. Plates are fabricated to fit in the housing. Each plate includes corresponding holes for receiving the studs on the strip ends. The studs are riveted in the holes to secure the ring. The holes may be formed on the strip ends and the plate can be formed with studs to secure the ring.

Abstract: This invention relates to a connector of a quick connection allowing tight connection of a rigid tube provided, at some distance from its free end intended to be fitted in the inlet of the connector, with a bead projecting radially with respect to the outer surface of the tube and presenting a substantially radial side opposite said end. The connector presents a first inner housing comprising an O-ring capable of coming into contact with the outer surface of the tube between its free end and its bead and a second inner housing to receive a locking ring elastically deformable in the radial direction. The locking ring is formed by a thin metal band presenting a generally oblong profile, the central region of said ring being constituted by substantially cylindrical portions whose diameter in the free state is at the most equal to the diameter of the tube. The zone located at one end of the large diameter of the oblong profile is constituted by a bridge in the form of an upturned U whose base essentially forms a part radially projecting outside the body of the connector.
