Definitions
- This invention relates to gutter systems, and particularly such systems made of plastics materials.
- an expansion coupling for joining together two components of a gutter system, said coupling comprising, as an integral unit, first and second portions interlocked in a slidable, sealing relationship, each of said portions being adapted to be connected rigidly and sealingly to a respective component of the system.
- a gutter system comprising two components joined to eachother by means of an expansion coupling, said coupling comprising, as an integral unit, first and second portions interlocked in a slidable sealing relationship, said portions being respectively connected rigidly and sealingly to said two components of the system.
- at least one of the components will be a gutter although one or both could be another item such as a conventional coupling.
- the two portions between which a sliding seal must be provided are part of an integral unit, rather than one of them being a gutter length itself or another, separate component. It is thus possible for a more reliable seal to be obtained, since manufacturing tolerances can be better controlled.
- the two portions will be closely matched, injection moulded items.
- both portions could be adapted to be connected to a gutter and be provided for example with a socket into which a gutter end can be solvent welded.
- the other portion whilst one portion is adapted to be connected to a gutter, the other portion has its free end in the configuration of a gutter.
- such portion can be connected to all other components of the system, such as angles and outlets, as can gutters. If it is wished to join two gutters together, then a conventional rigid union can be used between such portion and the other gutter.
- an expansion coupling 1 comprising a first or socket portion 2 and a second or spigot portion 3, each of which is injection moulded plastics e.g. UPVC, and is of substantially U-shaped cross-section.
- the coupling is for use in a solvent welded gutter system utilising gutters of plastics e.g. U.P.V.C, which will be in the form of extrusions.It can be assumed that, as in a conventional system, the gutters are all of the same constant cross section, being generally U-shaped.
- the portions 2 and 3 are slidably interlocked in telescopic fashion by means of nibs 4 on spigot portion 3 engaging in slots 5 formed in the upper edges of socket portion 2 on both sides thereof.
- Spigot portion 3 is formed with a peripheral channel 6 in which is disposed a sealing strip 7 of rubber or synthetic rubber.
- the strip 7 is compressed between portions 2 and 3 so as to provide a seal whilst nevertheless permitin g sliding of the two portions relative to each other. The extent of sliding is limited by the end walls of the slots 5.
- Portion 2 is provided with a socket 8 at its free end, which is adapted to receive the end of gutter, which can be solvent welded into the socket to provide a rigid, sealed joint.
- the free end of portion 3 has the form of a section of gutter used in the system; if the coupling was dismantled portion 3 could be received in socket 8 of portion 2. In use of course, portion 3 will be rigidly and sealingly joined to another component of the system.
- F ig. 5 shows the coupling in an exploded view. Also shown is a U-shaped connector 9, one again of injection moulded plastics. In a conventional system such a connector can be used to join two gutter lengths, which will be received in respective sockets 10 and 11 by means of solvent welding. Here, however, connector 9 is to be used to,join portion 3 to a length of gutter.
- Fig. 6 is a cross sectional view showing the expansion coupling 1 assembled with the connector 9, and two lengths of gutter 12 and 13.
- Gutter length 12 is solvent welded into socket 8 of portion 2
- gutter length 13 is solvent welded into socket 10 of connector 9
- spigot portion 3 is solvent welded into socket 11 of connector 9.
- portions 2 and 3 can slide relative to eachother from the solid line position shown in the direction of arrow A to the dotted line position of portion 2 relative to portion 3.
