ABSTRACT:
A sound-absorbent and/or vibration-damping flexible pipe coupling wherein the end portions of an elastic compensator hose are secured to spaced-apart flanges which can be bolted to the flanges of pipes or analogous conduits for a fluid. The hose is surrounded by two pressure-transmitting rings one of which is nearer to the one and the other of which is nearer to the other flange. The rings have openings for fasteners including a first set of fasteners which secure, without contacting the other ring, the one ring to the other flange and a second set of fasteners which secure, without contacting the one ring, the other ring to the one flange. A sound-absorbent and/or vibration-damping cushion is interposed between and secured to the rings. The cushion, which is compressed by the two rings when the distance between the flanges increases, may consist of a single rubber ring, of several cylindrical rubber-metal inserts, or of several metallic coil springs.
