  • Patent number: 7837234
    Abstract: A pipe joint unit includes a first pipe member with a male joint, a second pipe member with a female joint, and a pipe joint member coupling the first pipe member and the second pipe member. The male joint is received in the female joint such that an outer peripheral surface of the male joint is opposed to an inner peripheral surface of the female joint. The pipe joint member includes an engagement part that is elastically displaceable in the radial direction, and engages with the first and second pipe members. The male joint and the female joint have rotation restricting parts on the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface, respectively, for restricting relative rotation of the first and second pipe members.

  • Publication number: 20030080564
    Abstract: An annular claw, which extends outwardly from a joint block, is crimped over a flange of each pipe, so that engaging recesses of the joint block are engaged with the flange of the pipe, and thus each of the engaging recesses deforms and interlocks with a corresponding opposed portion of the flange of the pipe. As a result, rotation of the pipe relative to the joint block is effectively restrained.
