  • Patent number: 4014568
    Abstract: In a joint for pipe, a first sleeve surrounds and is bonded to the leading edge of a pipe section. A second sleeve, which acts as a male nut, is positioned on the pipe section rearward of the first sleeve, is externally threaded, and has an internal diameter greater than the diameter of the pipe section upon which it is mounted. An elastomeric spacer ring is positioned intermediate the two sleeves. A collar is bonded to and extends from an end of a second pipe section. The collar has an internally threaded portion adjacent its forward end for threaded engagement with the externally threaded second sleeve on the other pipe section, and has a second portion rearward of the threaded portion which is adapted to receive the first sleeve and spacer ring on the other pipe section. This second portion of the collar has an internal annular groove and a sealing ring in the groove for engagement by the first sleeve.
