Abstract
A connector or coupling device for pipes of different materials and different diameters. The connector is formed by a single integral sleeve of roughly barrel shape. The two open end portions of the sleeve are defined by a narrow slightly outwardly flaring flange. The connector is further provided by at least one angular U-shaped ring having two ears adapted to receive a screw and bolt for tightening the ring.

A connector for pipes, comprising:
- a single integral sleeve having substantially a barrel shape defining a connector body, said connector body having two open end portions defined by an outwardly-flowing, circumferential flange extending from said connector body, and at least one angular, cross-sectional U-shaped ring of a unitary construction having two ears adapted for receiving a screw or bolt for tightening said U-shaped ring radially, said U-shaped ring defining an outer boundary of an inner cavity into which a circumferential seal is placed contiguous to said outer boundary.
A connector as claimed in class 1, where said flange is oblique in relation to said connector body.
