Claims
- 1. A detachable flange connection assembly for joining together at their ends a pair of longitudinal members made of different materials for transmission of torque, comprising:
- a first longitudinal tubular member made of fiber-reinforced plastic and consisting essentially of fibers wound at a fiber angle .alpha. taken relative to a longitudinal axis of said first member;
- a first flange at an end of said first member formed integrally therewith shaped as a uniformly outwardly tapering frustum extending at a flange angle .beta. relative to said longitudinal axis;
- said flange angle .beta. and said fiber angle .alpha. being at least approximately equal to each other to ensure that fibers of the tubular member are wound on shortest possible geodetic lines, thereby becoming nonslip;
- a second member made of metal having a second flange thereon formed integrally therewith, said second flange being formed with a frustoconical surface having an angle of inclination which corresponds to said flange angle .beta. and being in abutment with said first flange; and
- connecting means extending through said first and second flanges detachably and nondestructively joining said first and second members together.
- 2. A connection assembly according to claim 1, wherein said second flange at an end facing said first member is provided with a cylindrical projection which serves to center said first and second members.
- 3. A connection assembly according to claim 1, wherein said connecting means comprises a plurality of bolts being fastened through said first flange and to said second flange, said bolts extending perpendicularly to said longitudinal axis.
- 4. A connection assembly according to claim 1, wherein said connecting means comprises a plurality of bolts extending through said first and second flanges and extending parallel to said longitudinal axis.
- 5. A connection assembly according to claim 1, wherein said connecting means comprises a plurality of bolts extending through said first flange and being fastened to said second flange, said plurality of bolts extending perpendicularly to said flange angle .beta..
