Description
,, :
This invention relates to the manufacture of plastics pipe couplings either of the sleeve type or of the socket and spigot type for plastics piping or piping of clayware, pitch-fibre, asbestos cement or concrete such as is used in sewers, drains, cable conduit or the like.
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of manufacturing a plastics pipe coupling of the kind comprising a tubular member of stiff plastics material and a resilient elastomeric annular sealing member secured therein for engaging a pipe end when inserted into the coupling, which method comprises preforming a first of the said members, disposing the preformed member in injection-moulding apparatus in such a way that the preformed member defines at least one mould member of said apparatus an annular moulding cavity, and injection moulding the other said member in the said cavity thereby forming the other said member bonded to the first member.
It is preferred to use chemically compatible materials for the respective annular members with a view to achieving the optimum chemical bond therebetween when the one member is injection moulded onto the other member. It is however possible to utilize incompatible materials which do not tend chemically to unite when the one member is injection moulded onto the other member by ensuring that the members are relatively configured to provide an interlocking type mechanical bond therebetween.
A preferred application would be of compatible , thermoplastic material for the respective members giving the best chance of a chemical bond .
, . . . . . . .
~081419 with the members also being designed to achieve a mechanical (interlocking) bond. For example the preformed member may comprise the main body member of a cou ling and be formed from a rigid PVC or polypropylene and the annular m~mber which is injection moulded onto the preformed member may comprise a sealing element of the coupling and be formed from a plasticised PVC suitable particularly for plastics pipes made to close tolerances.
For clay pipes with wider diameter tolerances and where resistance to long term shear loads are more important the preformed member may again be the main body member of the coupling of polyolethene material (polyethylene, polypropylene) and the member injection moulded onto the preformed member may again be a sealing member of the coupling of a thermoplastic rubber (elastomer) cross-linked to give compression-set resistance properties.

member of the coupling being of a thermoplastic material and being injection moulded onto the sealing member with the members being respectively configured to provide a mechanical (interlocking) bond therebetween.
