A device for connecting two tubular pipe sections. A sealing device is arranged between the pipe sections. At their ends, the pipe sections in each case have a flange-type end piece. The pipe sections are held together by a spring device using a pre-tensioning force, the spring device having a mid-section extending at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the pipe sections. The spring device has a spring element, from whose transverse sides of the mid-section, which extend at right angles to the longitudinal axes of the pipe sections, spring limbs extend. Forming an at least approximate U-shape with the mid-section, the spring limbs extend at least partially over the periphery of the pipe sections, the spring limps each having a centrical cut-out that is adapted to the outside diameter of the pipe sections and in which a pipe section is accommodated in each case in the mounted state of the spring element.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A device for connecting a first tubular pipe section and a second tubular pipe section, a sealing device being arranged between the first and the second pipe sections, the first pipe section having a first flange-type end piece, and the second pipe section having a second flange-type end piece, the device comprising:a spring for holding together the first and second tubular pipe sections using a pre-tensioning force, the spring including a mid-section with transverse sides extending at right angles to a longitudinal axis of the first and second pipe sections and including first and second spring limbs extending from the transverse sides;a slip protector attached to the spring and at least partially embracing at least one of the first and second tubular pipe sections on a portion of the at least one tubular pipe section facing away from the mid-section;the first and second spring limbs extending at least partially over a periphery of the first and second pipe sections, the mid-section and the first and second limbs forming an at least approximate U-shape, the first spring limb having a first centrical cut-out adapted to an outside diameter of the first pipe section and the second spring limb having a second centrical cut-out adapted to an outside diameter of the second pipe section, the first cut-out accommodating the first pipe section and the second cut-out accommodating the second pipe section when the spring is in a mounted state.
