Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A flange is provided including a longitudinal axis defining a first direction, a radial direction being substantially perpendicular to the first direction, a neck extending along the first direction, a flange plate connected to the neck and including a connecting portion adapted for holding a connecting device at a connecting side, the flange plate further including a non-connecting side being at a radially different location than the connecting side; the flange including a first plane defining a first level of the neck, a second plane defining a second level, where flange plate and neck are connected, and a third plane defining a third level of the flange plate, wherein the three planes extend substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the flange; the flange includes at least at the non-connecting side a bulge, which extends from a level between the first plane and the second plane to the third plane.
