Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A clamp with a clamp band and a mounting element which is connected to the clamp band. In a clamp band of the above-described type, this object is met by connecting the mounting element to the clamp band with a clinch connection. The clinch connection may have a polygonal cross-section. The clamp band and the mounting element may be formed of different materials at least in areas where they contact each other.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A clamp comprising a clamp band and a mounting element connected to the clamp band, wherein the mounting element is arranged on an outer side of the clamp band and has a fastening section that extends perpendicularly to a circumferential direction of the clamp band, the clamp further comprising a clinch connection for connecting the mounting element to the clamp band, the clinch connection including an embossment on an outer side thereof, the embossment having a purely hexagonal cross-section, wherein the clamp band has a radially extending projection that engages in the embossment of the clinch connection so as to fix the mounting element to the clamp band and prevent rotation between the clamp band and the mounting element, wherein the radially extending projection has a perimeter that forms a hexagon. 2. The clamp according to claim 1 , wherein the clamp band is deformed into the mounting element. 3. The clamp according to claim 1 , wherein the clamp is a worm gear clamp and the mounting element is a prepositioning clip. 4. The clamp according to claim 1 , wherein the clamp band and the mounting element are of different materials at least in areas thereof where they contact each other. 5. The clamp according to claim 4 , wherein the clamp band is of chromium steel. 6. The clamp according to claim 4 , wherein the mounting element is of a material having a lower tensile strength then the clamp band. 7. A clamp consisting of a clamp band, a mounting element connected to the clamp band, wherein the mounting element is arranged on an outer side of the clamp band and has a fastening section that extends perpendicularly to a circumferential direction of the clamp band, and a clinch connection for connecting the mounting element to the clamp band so as to prevent rotation between the clamp band and the mounting element, the clinch connection including an embossment on an outer side thereof, the embossment having a purely hexagonal cross-section, wherein the clamp band has a radially extending projection that engages in the embossment of the clinch connection so that the clinch connection provides a deformation of a material of the clamp band and a material of the mounting element that is perpendicular to a surface extension of the clamp band and the mounting element, wherein the radially extending projection has a perimeter that forms a hexagon.
