Abstract: The invention described herein deals with a novel tool that will enable one to deform smooth pipe and pipe segments for use in building pipelines, wherein the deformation is used as the anchor point for pipe couplings.
Abstract: What is disclosed are novel pipe segments, pipe fittings, and methods of coupling pipe together wherein the novelty resides in the use of fastener means and coupling segments containing lugs with holes therethrough as couplers for the pipe segments whereby the pipe segments have metal deformations near their ends to accomodate the holes of the lugs.
Abstract: What is disclosed herein is a novel metal coupling in combination with a fastening means to couple the metal coupling to a pipe surface, in that, the coupling is situated over a formed aperture in a pipe, a cable is looped over a supporting prong on the coupling, and a bolt, fastened to the cable, is tightened to draw the cable down onto the surface of a pipe, which in turn draws the metal coupling down onto the pipe in a secure manner.
