Abstract

A coupler includes one main cylinder, and two sub-cylinders. A hole in an axial direction formed in the inside of the main cylinder is a through hole to which a thread of the reinforcing bars is screwed, and outer peripheral screws are formed in the outer peripheries of the right and left half bodies of the main cylinder. The screws have pitches that are different from a screw pitch P4 of the thread of the reinforcing bars. The sub-cylinders are formed with nut portions in one side ends of the sleeve portions covering the outer peripheries of the right and left half bodies of the main cylinder, sleeve inner peripheral screws that are screwed with the outer peripheral screws are formed in the sleeve portions, and the nut portions are formed with nut portion female screws to which the thread of the reinforcing bar is screwed.

Dependent claims

A coupler for a threaded reinforcing bar to which end portions of reinforcing bars facing each other are inserted and that fastens, in an axial direction, the reinforcing bars facing each other,

the coupler comprising a main cylinder, and sub-cylinders that can be screwed with the main cylinder in both end portions in the axial direction of the main cylinder, wherein the main cylinder includes
a male screw portion formed in an outer peripheral portion, and
a female screw portion formed in an inner peripheral portion,
the sub-cylinders each include:
a first female screw portion that is formed in an inner peripheral portion on a side of the main cylinder in the axial direction and screwed with the male screw portion of the main cylinder, and
a second female screw portion that is formed in the inner peripheral portion on a side opposite to the side of the main cylinder in the axial direction and screwed with a thread of the reinforcing bar,
a phase of the female screw portion of the main cylinder, a phase of the first female screw portions of the sub-cylinders, and a phase of the second female screw portions of the sub-cylinders are the same,
the male screw portion of the main cylinder is screwed with the first female screw portions of the sub-cylinders, and the female screw portion of the main cylinder and the second female screw portions of the sub-cylinders are screwed with the threads of the reinforcing bars, and
a screw pitch of the male screw portion of the main cylinder is different from a screw pitch of the threads of the reinforcing bars.
