  • Truss union connector & truss mount
    Patent number: 6634823
    Abstract: A truss union connector for releasably coupling the ends of two axially aligned pipes, where the connector has simple construction and is operable easily and quickly by actuating a simple knob. This truss union connector is optionally combined with a truss mount where one of the coupled pipes is mounted to a truss. The connector includes a set of split cylindrical shell segments that engage outer surfaces of the ends of the coupled pipes by dimples extending radially inward from the split shell segments into holes in the walls of the pipe surfaces, resulting in a secure but rapid coupling and de-coupling assembly.
