Coupling assembly for connecting corrugated conduit

A coupling device for joining lengths of corrugated conduit in end to end relationship, the coupling device comprising:

• a cylindrical conduit joining member having a pair of cylindrical half sections delineated by an exterior annular flange and an inner bore coequal in axial extension with the half sections;
• each half section of the conduit joining member capable of being inserted within the ends of adjacently positioned lengths of corrugated conduit;
• each half section further including an external bearing surface for supporting the ends of the lengths of corrugated conduit that are mounted on to the conduit joining member in end to end relationship;
• and
• a latching mechanism pivotally mounted to the conduit joining member and capable of being swung about the ends of the adjacently positioned lengths of corrugated conduit for locking on the ends of the corrugated conduit and joining both lengths of conduit in end to end relationship after the respective ends of the corrugated conduit have been aligned with and placed on the half sections of the conduit joining member.

A coupling device for joining an end of a length of corrugated conduit to an outlet, the coupling device comprising:

• a cylindrical conduit joining member having a pair of cylindrical half sections demarcated by an exterior annular flange and an inner bore coequal in axial extension with the half sections;
• each half section of the conduit joining member capable of being inserted within, respectively, the end of the corrugated conduit and the outlet;
• each half section further including an external bearing surface for supporting the end of the corrugated conduit and the outlet;
• and
• a latching mechanism pivotally mounted to the conduit joining member and capable of being swiveled about the conduit joining member in order to join the end of the corrugated conduit to the outlet in an end to end relationship after the half sections have been placed within the outlet and the end of the corrugated conduit.
