Pipe clamp, in particular, pipe coupling
First Claim
1. A pipe clamp comprising:
- a tightenable clamp body;
at least one spike strip arranged radially inwardly within the clamp body and slanted toward an axial center of the clamp body, wherein the at least one spike strip and a radially inner side of the clamp body delimit an acute angle therebetween;
wherein the at least one spike strip has a first longitudinal edge provided with teeth projecting radially inwardly and slanted axially relative to the clamp body;
wherein the at least one spike strip has a second longitudinal edge supported in a radial direction and in an axial direction on the clamp body, wherein the at least one spike strip is directly positive-lockingly connected with the clamp body; and
wherein an area between the at least one spike strip and the radially inner side of the clamp body defined by the acute angle is free of means counteracting a bending of the at least one spike strip toward the radially inner side of the clamp body.

Abstract
A pipe clamp has a tightenable clamp body and at least one spike strip arranged radially inwardly within the clamp body and slanted toward the axial center of the clamp body. The spike strip and a radially inner side of the clamp body delimit an acute angle therebetween. The spike strip has a first longitudinal edge provided with teeth projecting radially inwardly and slanted axially relative to the clamp body. The at least one spike strip has a second longitudinal edge supported in a radial direction and in an axial direction on the clamp body. An area between the at least one spike strip and the radially inner side of the clamp body defined by the acute angle is free of parts counteracting a bending of the at least one spike strip toward the radially inner side of the clamp body.
