Patent

CA 2061967

A clamp structure which is provided with at least one pair of plastically deformable ear-like folds located on opposite sides of a center longitudinal cut in the clamping band and spaced in the circumferential direction by such a distance that they can be plastically deformed simultaneously by the use of a pincer-like tool. The pincer-like tool includes two sets of jaw-like members spaced from one another so as to permit simultaneous engagement of the two ear-like folds of a respective pair. The pincer-like tool may thereby have a relatively fixed center member forming a relatively fixed jaw-like member and two pivotally supported jaw-like members operable to be actuated toward one another. In the alternative, the pincer-like tool may include two sets of jaw-like members pivotally connected with each other whose points of pivotal connection are coupled with each other as also corresponding jaw-like members to assure movement in unison. By simultaneously plastically deforming the two ear-like folds while maintaining their relative position in the circumferential direction, a clamp structure can be realized devoid of any gaps, discontinuities or steps that might otherwise be a source of leakage.
