Abstract

A cheek plate for producing a non-detachable pipe joint having an upper cheek half and a lower cheek half, at least one swivel pin which pivotally mounts at least one cheek half, and a receiving region formed between the upper cheek half and the lower cheek half and having a receiving region axis, the at least one cheek half being able to pivot between an open position and a closed position substantially transversely with respect to the receiving region axis. The problem of providing a cheek plate such that the cheek plate permits pressing transverse to the receiving region axis and at the same time a reduction in workpiece size is permitted is solved in that at least one pushing unit is provided, the pushing unit being displaceable at least partially in parallel with the receiving region axis.

Claims (16)

1. A fitting for a metallically sealing joint with at least one metallic pipe, comprising

a metal fitting base body and

a press sleeve,

wherein the metal fitting base body has a cylindrical socket with an internal diameter adapted to an external diameter of the pipe to be joined,

wherein the press sleeve has at one end a receiving portion for receiving an outermost end of the cylindrical socket,

wherein the press sleeve has a pressing portion, an inner profile of which tapers in an axial direction to a diameter smaller than an external diameter of the metal fitting base body, such that the inner profile of the pressing portion is configured during an axial displacement onto the metal fitting base body to deform the outermost end of the cylindrical socket radially inwards so that the outermost end of the cylindrical socket cuts into material of the pipe,

wherein in a starting position, the metal fitting base body is partly inserted into the press sleeve,

wherein the press sleeve further comprises an outer obliquely deflecting bearing surface and the metal fitting base body further has an outer clamping ring being secured and recessed in a longitudinally centralized groove in the fitting base body and the clamping ring has an outer bearing surface which runs in an opposite direction to the bearing surface of the press sleeve, and wherein a longitudinal space is maintained between the clamping ring and the press sleeve.

2. The fitting according to claim 1 ,

wherein the receiving portion is cylindrical or is configured tapering.

3. The fitting according to claim 1 ,

wherein the pressing portion has a conical, round or bulging inner profile.

4. The fitting according to claim 1

wherein the metal fitting base body has a clamping portion for clamping by means of a first pair of jaws of a pressing jaw.

5. The fitting according to claim 1 ,

wherein the metal fitting base body comprises a section of pipe, an internal diameter of which is the same as a section of the pipe to be joined thereto, and wherein the metal fitting base body comprises at least one end widened as a socket over a predetermined receiving portion to an extent that an internal diameter of the receiving portion corresponds to an external diameter of the pipe to be joined.
