Pipe coupling
First Claim
1. A pipe coupling for coupling together the pipe ends of pipes which are to be interconnected, comprising:
- a housing;
means for clamping the housing about the pipe ends intended to be interconnected;
a sealing gasket enclosed in said housing and possessing a substantially C-shaped axial cross-sectional configuration;
said sealing gasket being open towards the inside and having end faces;
a respective substantially truncated cone-shaped clamping ring having an inner jacket surface and an outer jacket surface, each said outer jacket surface supporting thereat an associated one of said end faces of said sealing gasket;
each of said clamping rings being retained at its outer periphery and in the axial direction within said housing and being provided at its inner periphery with claws engaging with the pipe ends when said housing is being clamped; and
mounting means for clamping said clamping rings within the housing at the region of their outer periphery, said mounting means engaging the outer and inner jacket surfaces of said clamping rings for preventing said clamping rings from being bent when said housing is being clamped.

Abstract
A pipe coupling comprising a housing which can be clamped about pipe ends which are to be interconnected, and within which housing there is enclosed an inwardly open sealing gasket possessing a substantially C-shaped axial cross-sectional configuration, and both ends of which are supported upon the outer jacket surface of a respective substantially truncated cone-shaped clamping ring, each of which is retained at its outer periphery in the axial direction within the housing and is provided with claws which engage with the periphery of the pipe ends. The clamping rings are clamped in the housing at the region of their larger diameter by means of a fixture or socket engaging both at their outer as well as their inner jacket surface.
