Patent number: 9829135Abstract: A pipe joint is equipped with a body, and an attachment and detachment mechanism by which a fluid tube is mounted detachably with respect to the body. A pawl of a chuck that constitutes the attachment and detachment mechanism includes a stopper member that abuts against an outer circumferential surface of the fluid tube, and piercing members, distal ends of which project more toward a side of the fluid tube than the stopper member and pierce into the outer circumferential surface of the fluid tube.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2013Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: SMC KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Hiroshi Hanne

Patent number: 8801045Abstract: In a pipe joint, a release bush includes a cylindrical portion and a flange portion for pressing, provided along an outer edge of the cylindrical portion. A movable portion including a part of the flange portion and a part of the cylindrical portion is formed to move with respect to a main portion including the remaining part of the flange portion and the remaining part of the cylindrical portion, via an elastically deformable portion. The cylindrical portion of the movable portion can be moved to be aligned with the cylindrical portion of the main portion along the same circumference, by an external operating force exerted on the movable portion, while the movable portion remains in a position opposing a main body of the pipe joint when an operating force is not applied, thereby inhibiting the release bush from being pressed into a chuck despite the flange portion being pressed.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2008Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: SMC CorporationInventors: Masaaki Muto, Hiroshi Hanne, Kouichirou Ishibashi

Publication number: 20110068573Abstract: [Object] A pipe joint is to be provided that prevents a release bush from being accidentally pressed, and that inhibits the tube from being removed from the pipe joint unless a worker uses a predetermined tool with the intention of removing the tube from the pipe joint. [Solution] In a pipe joint including a chuck 21 with a latch claw to be engaged with an outer circumferential surface of a tube T inserted in the pipe joint thereby retaining the tube, a release bush 5 to be inwardly pressed along the tube inserted through the chuck so as to disengage the chuck from the tube is configured so as to inhibit direct manipulation thereof from outside of a main body 1 of the pipe joint, and a pressing tool 7 that can inwardly press the release bush into a position where the release bush disengages the chuck from the tube is provided as a separate member.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2008Publication date: March 24, 2011Applicant: SMC CORPORATIONInventors: Masaaki Muto, Hiroshi Hanne, Kouichirou Ishibashi

Patent number: 7036827Abstract: Cylinder mechanisms are provided for driving three jaw members each of which includes a cylinder hole having a long circular cross section, a piston which slides in the cylinder hole and has a long circular cross section, and a piston rod extending from the piston. The cylinder mechanisms are disposed at a position in the chuck body which is adjacent to corresponding jaw member in a state in which an axis of the cylinder hole in a direction parallel to a moving direction of the jaw member and a shorter diameter of the cylinder hole is directed in an axial direction of the chuck body.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2003Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: SMC CorporationInventors: Jiro Mandokoro, Hiroshi Hanne, Takashi Yasuoka
