  • Coupling assembly for pipes
    Patent number: 11519542
    Abstract: A coupling assembly includes a locking collar, a gasket, and a retaining sleeve. The locking collar includes a body and external threads. The external threads are formed on an outer circumferential surface of the body. The gasket is positioned between first and second pipes, and the locking collar. The retaining sleeve includes internal threads formed in an inner circumferential surface of the retaining sleeve. Each internal thread is configured to receive a respective external thread of the locking collar. The retaining sleeve is rotatable between an unlocked position in which the gasket seal is disengaged from the locking collar and the first and second pipes, and a locked position in which the external threads and the internal threads cooperate to move the retaining sleeve axially along the locking collar so that the gasket seal is engaged with the locking collar and the first and second pipes.
