  • Publication number: 20030029987
    Abstract: The bell mouth has a first member composed of a cylindrical-shaped body with a trumpet-shaped opening at its one end and including a projection-shaped spiral portion formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof, a second member composed of a cylindrical-shaped body including a projection-shaped annular portion formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof, and a third member composed of a cylindrical-shaped body including a groove-shaped spiral portion formed on the inner peripheral surface at one axial end side thereof and a projection-shaped annular portion formed on the inner peripheral surface at the other axial end side thereof. The spiral portions of the first member and the third member are spirally fitted with each other, and the annular portions of the third member are fitted with each other. Accordingly, it is possible to move the first and third members telescopically with respect to each other through their mutual spiral fit.

  • Patent number: 6435567
    Abstract: A coupling structure for a tube having first and second tube members coupled to each other includes a come-out preventing member adapted to be held at an outer periphery of the first tube member and restricted in its movement in a longitudinal direction of the first tube member at a tip end portion on a coupling side of the first tube member, and an engaging member adapted to protrude from an end portion on a coupling side of the second tube member. The come-out preventing member and the engaging member are respectively provided with first engaging portions and second engaging portions to engage the come-out preventing member and the engaging member to each other and to prevent the first and second tube members from being separated.

  • Publication number: 20010008342
    Abstract: An engaging member 15 is integrally or separably attached to the tip end of a second tube member 2 which is attached to the side wall 30 of a hand hole. A come-out preventing member 24 is adapted to be attached to the tip end of a first tube member 1 which is coupled to the second tube member 2. When the come-out preventing member 24 is pushed on the engaging member 15 side, both the engaging member 15 and the come-out preventing member 24 are placed in an engagement state mutually so that the first tube member 1 and the second tube member 2 are coupled without being drawn.

  • Patent number: 5950369
    Abstract: A synthetic resin tubular body is fitted into the pipe connecting hole of a handhole when used. The cut edge face at one open end side of the tubular body having square walls in cross section and circular walls in cross section which are alternately disposed in its axial direction is the boundary portion between a side wall portion forming the square wall in cross section and a peripheral wall portion forming the square wall in cross section, and is cut in the boundary portion on the side apart from the open end side or in the proximity thereof. The length of the tubular body is set greater than the wall thickness of the handhole. In addition to the tubular body, a block body for the tubular body is formed with square and circular recessed portions conforming to the outer peripheral face of the open end side portion of the tubular body.
