Title:
BRACING ARRANGEMENT COMPRISING OVERSTRAIN PROTECTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004083655
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The invention relates to a bracing arrangement comprising overstrain protection and a method for bracing two elements (1, 2) that are to be braced. The bracing arrangement is provided with a first element (1) that is to be braced, a second element (2) which is to be braced and is braced relative to the first element (1) that is to be braced, and a bracing bolt (3) used for bracing. In order to provide effective overstrain protection, the bracing arrangement is further provided with a sleeve (4) which is stressed along with the bracing bolt (3) counter to the second element (2) that is to be braced and extends through the first element (1) that is to be braced, and a sleeve-stressing device (5) which engages with the sleeve (4) and stresses the first element (1) that is to be braced relative to the second element (2) that is to be braced. The bracing bolt (3) is stressed to a given degree of stress (3f') relative to the maximum tolerable tensile strength thereof while the stress of the sleeve is relieved to a given degree of stress (4f'). The stress of the sleeve (4) relative to the bracing force exercised by the bracing bolt (3) is relieved and the bracing bolt (3) subsequently breaks when an operating force which separates the first element (1) and the second element (2) that are to be braced is exceeded beyond an operating force threshold.
