• designed to create reliable connections for furniture pipes.
• Are applied to fixing of pipe connections both to a round, and to a profile pipe.
• They have a wide variety of sizes, one or two buttons.
• They can be used for pipes with an outer diameter from 4 to 60 mm with various wall thicknesses.
• Springs with push button very easy to use.
• According to the material of manufacture, two options are distinguished:
  1. Structural spring steel with 65MnNickel Plated coating;
  2. Stainless steel springs;
• Stainless steel springs are used in products that come into contact with river or sea water - in the manufacture of parts for boats, catamarans, etc. In all other cases, nickel-plated steel springs are recommended. They have a weather resistant finish.
• The possible sizes of springs with a button can be found in the table on the website page.

For reference

Steel grade 65Mn (65MN Carbon steel) - analogue of 65G. This is tool carbon steel. It has the ability to withstand shock loads. Steel hardness 65Mn - 50-53HRC.
Class: structural spring-spring steel.
Industrial use: springs, leaf springs, thrust washers, brake bands, friction discs, gears, flanges, bearing housings, chucks and feed collets and other parts that require increased wear resistance.
Nickel Plated is a coating, literally - galvanized nickel or electroplated nickel. Nickel coatings have high corrosion resistance, high hardness and good decorative properties.

Button springs are used to fix tubular structures, as well as in structures requiring the ability to adjust the height.
Flat springs are indispensable in any pipe structures that should not be "accidentally" disassembled.

In the upgraded version of the tent "LOTOS Cube Professional M" The following changes and additions have been made:

The frame arc folding mechanism (hub) is made of aluminum alloy. Cast aluminum "hub" with high rigidity has a fairly high brittleness, which is fraught with breakage of this element under increased loads. If the “hub” design is made thicker-walled, then this will not lead to a noticeable improvement in terms of strength (voids form in thick-walled cast elements), but will only increase the dimensions and weight of the product.
In order to maximize the strength of this "hub", it was decided to combine the material of manufacture. The upper part of the "hub", which bears the maximum load, is reinforced with a 3.0 mm steel plate, this combination creates the maximum effect of rigidity and strength.
Reinforced "Hub" withstands very high mechanical and thermal loads and becomes one of the most durable, reliable and durable elements in the tent.

How to upgrade the first version of the LOTOS Cube Professional tent? (production until 02.2015)

A feature of all improvements is the full compatibility of the updated elements with the first model of 2014. This allows users who bought the first version to replace the necessary components, while the cost of all replaced elements will not be more than the difference in cost between the upgraded LOTOS Cube Professional M and the first basic version 2014.

In order to replace the “tube 12 mm with spring” element with a new “tube 14 mm with spring” it is necessary:

• Remove the old tube from the awning. To do this, you first need to pull the rod out of the tube as shown in the video. Then disconnect the tube from the tent by drilling or cutting off (with wire cutters) the riveting holding the tube in the tent sleeve.

• Attach the new tube to the tarpaulin sleeve with a wire shackle attached to the tube. In this case, the tube must be inserted into the sleeve of the awning as far as it will go.

• Insert the rod into the tube as shown in the video.

In order to strengthen the “hubs”, it is enough to fix the plate as shown in Figure No. 3.
When installing the plate on the "hub", it is necessary to press it very tightly against the surface of the "hub" with a fixing nut. There should be no gap between the plate and the "hub". To securely fix the nut, it is recommended to use a second lock nut.

Suitable for use with pipes with an outside diameter of 10 to 60 mm. There are one-sided and two-sided spring-loaded snap fasteners.

Spring push buttons can be made, depending on the environment of their further use, either from structural spring steel with a nickel plating coating, or from stainless steel. At the same time, stainless steel spring buttons must be used in products that will come into contact with sea water - oars, yacht masts, etc. In all other cases, it is recommended to use spring steel fasteners.

Advantages of using push-button clamps for pipe connections:

• the issue of connecting pipe structures without the use of special tools is solved
• pipe connection with push-button springs - very reliable, with a guarantee of non-disconnection
• spring push-button clamps can be used not only for round but also for square pipe
• the button spring is non-removable and remains in the pipe, therefore, the possibility of losing hardware is excluded

If you have doubts or questions about how to choose the best spring push-button clamp for connecting pipes, which is most suitable for your goals and objectives, then you can use our table.

Table of types and sizes of spring push-button clamps for connecting pipes

Collapsible connection of two pipes by means of the button - a clamp. Scope of application.

The areas of use of the method of connecting pipes of different diameters using spring push-button clamps are very extensive.

For example, when using a thin-walled furniture pipe in a wide variety of designs and furniture - bunk beds,

chairs, stairs, tables, folding beds, all kinds of fences and barriers, tents and sheds, sports and medical equipment,

rehabilitation equipment, in the form of handles and stands for industrial and household appliances, springs with a button are indispensable in work.

REFERENCE: Reducing is the process of reducing the diameter of a pipe by plastic deformation.

For this purpose, a radial press (crimping machine) is used. The design of the machine allows you to adjust the degree of pipe compression with an accuracy of 0.1 mm,which makes it possible to obtain the required density of the entry of a pipe of a smaller diameter into a pipe with a large diameter on the sametool kit at no additional cost.

In pipes of smaller and larger diameters, one is drilled at a distance from the edge of 20-40 mm, if a spring with one button is used,or two - in the case of using a spring with two buttons, a hole with a diameter of 0.1-0.2 mm larger than the diameter of the button of the spring used.

The spring is inserted into a smaller diameter pipe so that the button peeks out of the hole.Next, a pipe with a larger diameter is put on a pipe with a smaller diameter. We press the spring button and melt it, combining the holes of both pipes.

Attention!

Beware of cheap Chinese analogues! Low production quality, as well as the use of cheap raw materials in the manufacture, can lead to the destruction of the retainer at the most inopportune moment! From a long static load, the spring plate will simply burst and your structural element will collapse, which can lead to rather unpleasant consequences.
