Abstract
The invention relates to a connecting device comprising a first tube with a flare at one end; a female sleeve including, at its inner side, an annular hole along an axis so as to receive the first tube, and which is partially threaded at its inner circular wall; a second tube with a flare at one end so as to be associated with the flare of the first tube; a male sleeve having an annular hole along an axis so as to receive the second tube, and including, at its outer surface, threads corresponding to those of female sleeve, and providing pressure for connection. Here, the first tube is configured to be fixed to the female sleeve prior to connection.
Claims17
A connecting device comprising a first tube with a flare at one end;
- a female sleeve including, at its inner side, an annular hole along its axis for receiving the first tube, and which is partially threaded at its inner circular wall;
- a second tube with a flare at one end so as to be communicated with the flare of the first tube;
- a male sleeve having an annular hole along its axis for receiving the second tube, and including, at its outer surface, threads corresponding to those of the female sleeve, and providing pressure for connection wherein the first tube is configured to be fixed to the female sleeve prior to connection.
A method of producing a connecting device, comprising the following steps of:
- a) placing, on a first tube, a female sleeve having, at its inner side, an annular hole along an axis, including a circumferential conical surface, and which is partially threaded at its inner circular wall,
- b) forming a female flared-end by pressing an end of the first tube on the conical surface,
- c) crimping of the female sleeve into the first tube,
- d) tightening a male sleeve having an annular hole along an axis for receiving the second tube having a flare at an end thereof corresponding to that of the first tube, and having threads, at its outer surface, corresponding to those of the female sleeve, in order to achieve connection.
