Embodiment Construction

[0028] One embodiment of the invention relates to a ring clamp system suitable for connecting ductwork components of an air handling system. to this end, figure 1An exemplary air handling system 20 including ductwork components (referenced 25 ) is shown. In this regard, air handling system 20 reflects one of many possible configurations for use with the present invention. That is, an air handling system, such as the system 20 air handling system, is designed to meet particular residential, commercial, or industrial installation standards. As such, other ductwork components 25 may be included and / or eliminated, depending on the particular installation criteria. Accordingly, the ductwork component 25 of the present invention may be a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) component located in a variety of locations, as such, the directional terminology is used for purposes of illustration only and is by no means limiting. It should be understood that other embodime...

Abstract

A method of assembling HVAC ductwork components is described. The method includes the step of coupling together first and second ductwork components. The method additionally includes the steps of wrapping a seal about a joint formed between the first and second ductwork components and positioning a ring clamp about the seal. In this regard, the ring clamp includes a band forming a first retention means on an exterior surface and a second retention means formed on an interior surface. The method further includes the step of repositionably retaining the ring clamp about the joint by coupling the first and second retention means together. The method ultimately includes the step of cinching the band about the joint.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a ring clamp system for securing heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) ductwork components. More particularly, it relates to the ring clamp of said system having adjustable straps defining removable interlocking projections. Background technique [0002] Air handling systems, such as HVAC systems, include various ductwork components for directing directly heated or cooled and / or filtered air from a source to one or more locations, such as a building or a room. Air handling systems can be used in residential, commercial and / or industrial buildings. In particular, the air handling system may include a heating system (such as a blast furnace and a blower), a cooling system (such as an air conditioning system), and / or a filtration system (such as a blower and one or more filter elements). Regardless of the manner in which the air is treated or disposed of, the ductwork components cooperate with the air delivery...
