Abstract
Clamp joint for axially clamping together the end faces of two coaxial cylindrical members having identical diameters, the clamp joint including at least one first projection secured to one member near the end face thereof and at least one second projection secured to the other member near the end face thereof, each projection projecting substantially radially outwardly from its associated member, and lying in a plane parallel to the common longitudinal axis of the members, a connecting part articulated to the first projection, extending axially from the first member to the region of the second projection and lying in a plane parallel to the common longitudinal axis of the members, the second projection and the connecting part being provided with bores whose axes are transverse to the common longitudinal axis of the members and located to be aligned with one another when the end faces of the members are in proximity to one another, and a bolt arranged to be inserted into the bores in the direction of their axes and being provided with a laterally projecting eccentric portion extending along a region of its length to engage one of the bores. One bore has a diameter which corresponds…
