Patent number: 10655765Abstract: A fitting for coupling to a pipe includes a sleeve for receiving the pipe and a sealing member to provide a seal between the sleeve and the pipe. A pressure ring acts on a pressure member through adjoining slanting contacting surfaces of the pressure ring and pressure member, respectively. The sealing member is configured to be displaced from the slanting contact surfaces to preserve the life of the seal.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2015Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Georg Fischer WAGA N.V.Inventors: Jeroen Wijlens, Michel Paul Hulsebos, Roel Alexander Maria Wellink

Patent number: 9334990Abstract: A coupling device for a tube includes a pressure element comprising first and second pressure element segments for exerting a clamping force on the tube. The pressure element includes surfaces that converge towards each other in a radial direction away from the tube and that are directly or indirectly disposed against support elements. The first pressure element segment is placed proximally and the second pressure element segment distally with respect to the tube. The first and the second pressure element segments are each provided with contact surfaces that abut and co-operate with each other at a predetermined incline in relation to the longitudinal axis of the tube such that during tension strain between the coupling and the tube, the first pressure element segment is caused to clamp the tube more tightly and the second pressure element segment endows an increased force on the support elements.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2006Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: GEORG FISCHER WAGA N.V.Inventor: Andreas Jacobus Louis Nijsen
