  • Flange protector having flexible coupling insert and method for detachably coupling same to a conduit
    Patent number: 5503189
    Abstract: A protector for protecting a machined surface of a conduit includes a plate member for contacting the machined surface of the conduit, a flexible inner portion formed integrally with the plate member, and a handle that is formed integrally with the plate member and is defined on an opposite side of the protector by the flexible inner portion. The flexible inner portion is cooperable with an inner surface of the conduit to form an interference fit therewith. The handle is resilient so as to selectively deform the flexible inner portion to insert the inner portion into the conduit. When the handle is released, the resiliency of the handle allows the flexible member to return to its original position.
