Abstract

A pre-positioner for a profiled clamp being formed in two parts with a first element and a second element, wherein the first element can be fastened to a line end and the second element can be fastened to the profiled clamp. The disclosure further relates to a connecting arrangement having such a pre-positioner. To allow a simple mounting of the pre-positioner, the first element is designed to be stirrup-shaped with a foot portion which can be secured to the line end and with a holding portion which is offset radially outwards with respect to the foot portion. The holding portion has a cutout, wherein the second element has a pin which extends in the radial direction and which can be inserted into the cutout.

Claims (16)

1. A pre-positioner for a profiled clamp which pre-positioner is realized in two parts with a first element and a second element, wherein the first element is fastenable on a line end and the second element is fastenable on the profiled clamp, wherein the first element is realized in a stirrup-shaped manner with a foot portion which is fixable on the line end and a holding portion which is offset radially outward, is opposite the foot portion and comprises a recess, wherein the second element comprises a pin which extends in a radial direction and is insertable into the recess.

2. The pre-positioner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the recess is realized as a groove which extends in a circumferential direction and is open in particular at one end.

3. The pre-positioner as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the pin is realized as a guide pin which is insertable into the groove in the circumferential direction.

4. The pre-positioner as claimed in claim 3 , wherein, on its radial inner end, the guide pin comprises a widening which is wider than the groove, wherein the widening is insertable between the holding portion and the line end.

5. The pre-positioner as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the second element is radially movable in relation to the first element with the guide pin which is situated in the groove.

6. The pre-positioner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the recess is realized as an opening with a closed circumferential edge.

7. The pre-positioner as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the second element is pivotable in relation to the first element when the pin is partially inserted into the opening, as a result of which the pin is insertable further into the opening.

8. The pre-positioner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the recess comprises a latching constriction.

9. The pre-positioner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pin is fixable on the profiled clamp by means of a bridge which extends in an axial direction.

10. The pre-positioner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first element comprises the foot portion, wherein an end of the holding portion remote from the foot portion is free.

11. The pre-positioner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first element comprises two foot portions, between which the holding portion is arranged.

12. The pre-positioner as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the foot portions and the holding portion lie side by side in a circumferential direction.

13. A connecting arrangement with the line end and the profiled clamp which is held on the line end by means of the pre-positioner as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first element of the pre-positioner is fastened on the line end and the second element of the pre-positioner is fixed on the profiled clamp.

14. The connecting arrangement as claimed in claim 13 , wherein a bridge of the pre-positioner is fastened on a radial outside surface of a clamp strip of the profiled clamp.

15. The connecting arrangement as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the pre-positioner comprises a connecting element, which connects two halves of the clamp strip of the profiled clamp together, from which the bridge proceeds.

16. The connecting arrangement as claimed in claim 13 , wherein a radial distance between the line end and the holding portion corresponds, as regards an amount, at least to a reduction in a diameter which occurs when the profile clamp is tightened.
