  • Publication number: 20130257045
    Abstract: A housing type pipe joint 1 that connects a pair of pipes P, comprising: a plurality of housing bodies 4; an annular gasket 6 that is accommodated in the housing body; the gasket includes a cylindrical body portion 6c, a pair of gasket lip portions 6a to seal an outer surface of the pipe, and a pair of gasket tongue portions 6b between the gasket lip portions, when the distal ends of the pair of gasket tongue portions are pressed to be close to each other in the axial direction, the body portion is deformed about a vicinity of base ends of the pair of gasket tongue portions, and due to this deformation, the pair of gasket lip portions rotate, and an angle of the outer surface 6as of the gasket lip portion relative to the axial direction becomes smaller.

  • Patent number: 8360481
    Abstract: A housing pipe joint (1) for connecting a pair of pipes comprising: a pair of housings (3) each including a housing body (4) and a flange portion (5); fitting portions (4a) located in parallel on an inner surface of the housing body to fit with the pipes (P), each fitting portion including one stepped section (4a3) angled diagonally relative to the center axis line (C); and a positioning member (6) on opposed surfaces of the flange portion, the positioning member engaging with the other positioning member to position the housings at a first or a second position when one housing is rotated on a plane about a symmetric point (Sy); at the first position the distance between the opposed fitting portions is the closest and the pipes are movably coupled; and at the second position the distance is the largest and the pipes are fixedly coupled to the housings.
