Patent ID: 8443831

Claim:
A safety device on a high-pressure connector of a hydraulic screw tensioning device, comprising: a shield surrounding the high-pressure connector and catching hydraulic liquid that escapes at high pressure; wherein the shield comprises a housing surrounding seal-tightly a pressure medium distributor of the high-pressure connector, wherein the pressure medium distributor is connected to the housing and has a connecting nipple for a high-pressure hose conduit adapted to be coupled by a hose coupling to the connecting nipple; wherein the housing has an open side that is open toward the hydraulic screw tensioning device and wherein the open side of the housing is sealed by seals relative to the hydraulic screw tensioning device; wherein the shield further comprises a protective pipe connected to the housing; wherein the protective pipe is open outwardly at a free end remote from the housing and the high-pressure hose conduit exits from the protective pipe at the remote end; wherein the protective pipe has such a length that the protective pipe surrounds protectively the connecting nipple, the hose coupling and a section of the length of the high-pressure hose conduit, which section extends from the hose coupling to the free end; wherein the protective pipe is a holding and carrying handle for the hydraulic screw tensioning device.
