Patent number: 11746937Abstract: A pipe joint in which a seal body and a spacer are mounted from the insides of pipes, wherein: a spigot of one pipe is inserted into a socket of the other pipe; and an annular accommodation space is formed between the inner circumference of the socket and the outer circumference of the spigot. Inside the accommodation space are accommodated: a seal body for sealing the gap between the socket and the spigot; a push ring that presses the seal body to keep the seal body in a compressed state; and a spacer that maintains the interval between the push ring and the deep end of the socket in the pipe axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2019Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: KUBOTA CORPORATIONInventors: Shozo Kishi, Kazuya Ito, Kazuma Harada, Keita Oda, Ryunosuke Tanaka, Kohei Ikeda, Yuito Komaru

Patent number: 10443772Abstract: A pipe joint structure provided with: a heel section configured so that a spigot formed on the end section of a pipe is inserted via a seal member into a socket formed in the end section of another pipe and seal member is fitted to a recessed section formed on the inner circumferential section of the socket; and a valve section compressed between the inner circumferential surface of the socket and the outer circumferential surface of the spigot. Additionally, a marker member is provided to the heel section that is accommodated in the recessed section. The socket circumference section of the pipe joint structure is subjected to non-contact inspection by a marker detection device from the spigot-side pipe along the axial direction of the pipe and the quality of the joining state of the pipe joint structure is determined on the basis of whether the marker member is detected.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: KUBOTA CORPORATIONInventors: Shozo Kishi, Takaaki Kagawa, Keita Oda, Yuito Komaru
