Abstract
In a pipe joint made of resin in accordance with the present invention, a primary sealing is formed between an inner ring pressingly inserted into an insertion portion of a pipe at its one end to increase the diameter thereof, and the joint body into which the insertion portion of the pipe increased in diameter, is being inserted. When the threaded connection of a pushing ring to the joint body is advanced, a sealing force is applied to the primary sealing. The inner ring has an inner diameter equal to that of the joint body and that of the pipe, assuring a smooth movement of a fluid in the pipe without the fluid remaining at the joint.
Claims21
A pipe joint made of resin, for a pipe having an insertion portion at one end thereof defining an inner diameter, comprising:
- a cylindrical joint body which, with the pipe, defines a pipe joint axis, the cylindrical joint body including a pipe receiving portion having an external threaded surface and an inner part defining an inner diameter and a primary sealing portion extending in a direction which intersects the pipe joint axis;
- an inner ring having an inner diameter substantially equal to that of the pipe and the cylindrical joint body and an outer surface which increases the inner diameter of the pipe insertion portion when the pipe insertion is received between the pipe receiving portion and the inner ring, the inner ring defining an inner-end sealing portion and an outer-end sealing portion both extendign in a direction which intersects the pipe joint axis;
- and
- a push ring having threads, which threadedly engage with the threads of the pipe receiving portion and pipe pushing means, said pushing ring being displaced relative to said pipe receiving portion as said pushing ring is displaced due to its threaded engagement with the pipe receiving portion such that said pipe pushing means urges the pipe insertion portion toward the primary selaing portion and the primary sealing portion contacts the inner-end sealing portion and the outer-end sealing portion engages the inner diameter of the pipe insertion portion to form primary seals.
The pipe joint as defined in cliam 5, wherein the primary sealing portion and the inner-end sealing portion are formed by tapering surfaces inclined at the same angle.
A pipe joint made of resing, for a pipe having an insertion portion at one end thereof defining an inner diameter and a sealing portion, comprising:
- a cylindrical joint body which, with the pipe, defines a pipe joint axis, the cylindical joint body including a pipe receiving portion having an external threaded surface and an inner part defining an inner diameter and a primary sealing portion extending in a direction which intersects the pipe joint axis;
- an inner ring having an inner diameter substantially equal to that of the pipe and the cylindrical joint body and an outer surface which increases the inner diameter of the pipe insertion portion when the pipe insertion portion is received between the pipe receiving portion and the inner ring, the inner ring defining an inner-end sealing portion, a spaced apart further sealing portion and an outer-end sealing portion, each extending in directions which intersect the pipe joint axis;
- and
- a pushing ring having threds which threadedly engage with the threads of the pipe receiving portion and pipe pushing means, said pushing ring being displaced relative to said pipe receiving portion as said pushing ring is displaced due to its threaded engagement with the pipe receivign portion such that said pipe pushing means urges the pipe insertion portion toward the primary sealing portion and the primary sealing portion contacts the inner-end sealing portion and the outer-end sealing portion engages the inner diameter of the pipe insertion portion to form primary seals, and the further sealing portion of said inner ring contacts the sealing portion of the pipe insertion portion.
