  • Patent number: 11326729
    Abstract: The present invention provides a socket and a pipe joint which facilitate coupling and uncoupling of the socket and a plug and which can prevent the plug from jumping out of the socket in the uncoupling. In a socket 10 of the present invention, fluid in a built-in plug part 22 is released to the outside via communication holes 40 of a second base portion 18 and a through hole 51 of a third base portion 19 in a semi-inserted state. Accordingly, the pressure in a hole portion 34 does not become excessively high and an engaged part 42 is not unexpectedly pushed upward. Thus, an engagement portion 38 and a second engaged portion 26 can surely engage with each other. Hence, the plug 12 can be prevented from jumping out toward the front end side in the semi-inserted state.

  • Patent number: 9581273
    Abstract: A fluid fitting of an embodiment mainly includes a socket part, a spherical valve inserted in the socket part, and a plug part configured to be inserted at a tip portion thereof into the spherical valve. Moreover, the plug part is fixed in the direction of turn by engaging an expanded-diameter portion of the plug part with a recess of the socket part. Thus, the plug part is prevented from being detached from the socket part while the fluid fitting is in use.
