Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、例えば排水管と排水管又は排水管と排水枡とを接続する管継手に関するものであり、特に耐震性に優れた管継手に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の管接続構造において、一般的に耐震性能を有するといわれているものを図6及び図7に示す。図6に示される管接続構造では、管継手7の一端に段部71aを介して受口71が拡径形成され、該受口71にゴム輪Rが装着された環状凹溝71bが形成され、該管継手7の他端に挿口72が形成され、該受口71には接続されるべき管73の接続端73aが挿着される。
一方、図7に示される管接続構造では、管継手8の一端に段部81aを介して受口81が拡径形成され、他端に挿口82が形成され、中間部に関節部83が形成され、該関節部83は、球状外面83aを有する内殻部83bと、該球状外面83aに対応する球状内面83cを有する外殻部83dとからなり、該内殻部83bは該外殻部83dに回動自在に嵌着されており、該受口81には接続されるべき管84の接続端84aが挿着される。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
図6に示される管接続構造に曲げ方向の応力がかかった場合、ゴム輪Rを支点として管73が回動し、該応力が吸収されるため、管継手7や管73の破損が防止される。また、管継手7から管73を引き抜く伸長方向の応力がかかった場合であっても、管継手7及び/又は管73が引き抜き方向に移動して該応力が吸収されるため、該管継手7や該管73の破損が防止される。一方、図7に示される管接続構造に曲げ方向の応力がかかった場合、関節部83における内殻部83b及び/又は外殻部83dが回動し、該応力が吸収されるため、管継手8や管84の破損が防止される。
【0004】
しかしながら、いずれの管接続構造も管継手へ管を挿し込む圧縮方向の応力に対しては対応することができず、耐震性能の面では完全ではなかった。即ち、地震等により管軸に沿った圧縮方向の応力がかかった場合、図6の管接続構造では、管73の接続端73aが管継手7における段部71aに当接し、また図7の管接続構造では、管84の接続端84aが受口81の段部81aに当接し、かつ関節部83においては内殻部83bの球状外面83aが外殻部83dの球状内面83cに密接して軸方向の動きが固定されており、管継手8と管84との挿込み方向の動きが阻止されているため、該応力を逃がすことができず、その結果管継手7,8や該管継手7,8に接続している管73,84が破損することとなる。
【0005】
圧縮・伸長方向の応力に対応できる管継手として、従来よりゴム製のジャバラ管があるが、該ジャバラ管は内部が平滑でなく山部と谷部とを有するため、汚物が該谷部に溜まってしまうという問題があり、また土圧等によって潰れたり変形するため、埋設配管には向かない。
更には、無機繊維や有機繊維で補強した積層ゴムからなる伸縮管が提供されているが、該積層ゴムの製造コストは高く、該伸縮管は高価なものとならざるを得なかった。
【0006】
従って、本発明の課題は、埋設配管に適しており、圧縮・伸長方向の応力に対応でき、内面が平滑で安価に製造することのできる管継手を提供することである。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、上記課題を解決するために、伸縮性を有する材料からなり、内面が平滑である内管2と、該内管2を被覆する保護スリーブ3と、該内管2の両端に挿着された管接続部4a,4bとからなり、該内管2の周面には、外周が該保護スリーブ3の内周に接する環状凸部21が形成されており、該保護スリーブ3の一端には球状内面 31 aを有する外殻部 31 が設けられており、該一方の管接続部4aの外面には該外殻部 31 の球状内面 31 aに対応する球状外面 41 aが設けられており、該管接続部4aは該保護スリーブ3の外殻部 31 に回動自在に嵌着されてユニバーサルジョイント 30 が形成されている管継手1を提供するものである。
また、伸縮性を有する材料からなり、内面が平滑である内管2と、該内管2を被覆する保護スリーブ3と、該内管2の両端に挿着された管接続部4a,4bとからなり、該内管2の周面には、外周が該保護スリーブ3の内周に接する環状凸部 21 が形成されており、該保護スリーブ3’の一端には球状外面32aを有する内殻部32が設けられており、該一方の管接続部4a’には該内殻部32の球状外面32aに対応する球状内面44aを有する部材44が設けられており、かくして該管接続部は4a’該保護スリーブ3’の内殻部32に回動自在に嵌着され、ユニバーサルジョイント30’が形成されている管継手1を提供するものである。
【0008】
【作用】
本発明の管継手1では、接続すべき一対の管の接続部が接続される該管接続部4a,4bは各々伸縮性を有する材料からなり、内面が平滑である内管2の両側に挿着されているため、管軸に沿った圧縮・伸長方向の応力がかかった場合であっても、該応力に対応して該内管2が圧縮又は伸長し、該応力を吸収するため、該管接続部4a,4b及び/又は該管接続部4a,4bに接続している管5a,5bの損傷が防止される。また、伸縮性を有する内管2は保護スリーブ3によって被覆されているため、該管継手1を埋設した場合であっても該内管2は土圧から保護され、該内管2の土圧による潰れや曲がり等の変形が防止される。
ここで、該内管2の周面に、外周が該保護スリーブ3の内周に接する環状凸部21を形成すると、該環状凸部21は該内管2と該保護スリーブ3との間のスペーサーとして働くため、該内管2は該保護スリーブ3内で円滑な伸縮を保証されつつ安定に保持される。
【0009】
また、該保護スリーブ3の一端に球状内面31aを有する外殻部31を設け、該一方の管接続部4aの外面に該外殻部31の球状内面31aに対応する球状外面41aを設け、該管接続部4aを該保護スリーブ3の外殻部31に回動自在に嵌着してユニバーサルジョイント30を形成するか、該保護スリーブ3’の一端に球状外面32aを有する内殻部32を設け、該一方の管接続部4a’に該内殻部32の球状外面32aに対応する球状内面44aを有する部材44を設け、該管接続部を4a’該保護スリーブ3’の内殻部32に回動自在に嵌着してユニバーサルジョイント30’を形成することによって、圧縮・伸長方向のみならず、曲げ方向の応力に対しても自在性を付与することができる。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
本発明の一具体例による管継手を図1に示す。本管継手1は、周面に複数個の環状凸部21を形成した伸縮性を有する内管2と、該内管2を被覆する保護スリーブ3と、該内管2の両端に挿着された受口部4a,4bとから構成されており、該内管2の環状凸部21の外周は該保護スリーブ3の内周に接している。該保護スリーブ3の一端には球状内面31aを有する外殻部31が設けられており、内管2の両端に挿着されている受口部の一方(受口部4a)の外側には、該外殻部31の球状内面31aに対応する球状外面41aを有する球面フランジ部41が設けられており、該球面フランジ部41は該保護スリーブ3の外殻部31に回動自在に嵌着され、該外殻部31と該球面フランジ部41とによってユニバーサルジョイント部30が構成されている。受口部4aは最奥部にストッパー段部42を有しており、受口部4bは中間部にストッパー段部43を有している。
【0011】
内管2は、伸縮性を有する材料、例えばアクリルゴム、ブチルゴム、ケイ素ゴム、ウレタンゴム、フッ化物系ゴム、多硫化物系ゴム、グラフトゴム、ブタジエンゴム、イソプレンゴム、クロロプレンゴム、ポリイソブチレンゴム、ポリブテンゴム、イソブテン−イソプレンゴム、アクリレート−ブタジエンゴム、スチレン−ブタジエンゴム、アクリロニトリル−ブタジエンゴム、ピリジン−ブタジエンゴム、スチレン−イソプレンゴム、アクリロニトリル−クロロプレンゴム、スチレン−クロロプレンゴム、スチレン−ブタジエン−スチレン(SBS)共重合体、スチレン−イソプレン−スチレン(SIS)共重合体、スチレン−水素添加ポリオレフィン−スチレン(SEBS)共重合体等のスチレン系熱可塑性エラストマーやブタジエン−スチレンブロック共重合体、スチレン−ゴム中間ブロック−スチレン共重合体等のブロック共重合体等の合成ゴムや天然ゴム等からなる。なお、本管継手1では各環状凸部21間にリブ22が設けられている。
【0012】
保護スリーブ3及び受口部4a,4bは、通常使用される材料、例えばポリ塩化ビニル、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリフッ化ビニル、スチレン−ブタジエン共重合体、アクリロニトリル−ブタジエン共重合体、エチレン−プロピレン共重合体等からなる。
【0013】
上記管継手1によって一対の管5a,5bを接続するには、図2に示すように管5a,5bを受口部4a,4bに挿入する。上記管接続構造において、例えば地震等により該管継手1に矢印に示す圧縮方向の応力がかかった場合、図2に示すように内管2が収縮し、該応力を吸収することができるため、該受口部4a,4bや該管5a,5bの破損が防止される。また、内管2は伸縮性を有するものであるが、該内管2の周面に形成された環状凸部21が保持する保護スリーブ3によって被覆されているため、該管継手1が埋設されても土圧等で潰れたり変形することはない。該内管2の周面に形成された環状凸部21は、該内管2と該保護スリーブ3との間のスペーサーとしての作用を有するため、該内管2は該保護スリーブ3内で円滑な伸縮を保証されつつ安定に保持される。各環状凸部21間には更にリブ22が設けられているため、該内管2の強度を高め、該内管2の断面形状の変形を抑制することができる。
さらに、該管継手1に曲げ方向の応力がかかった場合、図2に示すようにユニバーサルジョイント部30の球面フランジ部41が保護スリーブ3の外殻部31に対して回動し、該応力を吸収することができるため、該受口部4a,4bや該管5a,5b、あるいは保護スリーブ3の破損が防止される。
【0014】
本発明の他の具体例による管継手を図3に示す。本管継手1’は、周面に複数個の環状凸部21’を形成した伸縮性を有する内管2’と、該内管2’を被覆する保護スリーブ3’と、該内管2’の両端に挿着された受口部4a’,4b’とから構成されており、該内管2’の環状凸部21’の外周は該保護スリーブ3’の内周に接している。該保護スリーブ3’の一端には球状外面32aを有する内殻部32が設けられており、内管2’の両端に挿着されている受口部の一方(受口部4a’)の外側には、該内殻部32の球状外面32aに対応する球状内面44aを有する球面フランジ部44が設けられており、該球面フランジ部44は該保護スリーブ3’の内殻部32に回動自在に嵌着され、該内殻部32と該球面フランジ部44とによってユニバーサルジョイント部30’が構成されている。受口部4a’は最奥部にストッパー段部42’を有しており、受口部4b’は中間部にストッパー段部43’を有している。
【0015】
以上のように、保護スリーブ3’側に内殻部32、受口部4a’側に外殻部(球面フランジ部44)を設けてユニバーサルジョイント部30’を形成したとしても、該管継手1’に曲げ方向の応力がかかった場合には、該ユニバーサルジョイント部30’の球面フランジ部44が保護スリーブ3’の内殻部32に対して回動し、該応力を吸収することができるため、該受口部4a’,4b’や該受口部4a’,4b’に接続された管、あるいは保護スリーブ3’の破損が防止される。
【0016】
本発明の管継手は、管と管とを接続するのみならず、例えば排水枡と管とを接続する場合にも利用することができる。本発明の管継手を排水枡と管との接続に使用した例を図4及び図5に示す。図4及び図5における管継手1は、図1における管継手1と同様のものである。排水枡6は、本体61と、該本体61の上端に設けられた点検筒接続部62と、該本体61の側面から差出された管接続部63a,63bとからなる。上記管継手1によって排水枡6と管5cとを接続するには、図4及び図5に示すように、該排水枡6の管接続部63aを、内管2の両端に挿着されている受口部の一方(受口部4a)に挿入し、管5cを他方の受口部4bに挿入する。該排水枡6のもう一方の管接続部63bに対しても、同様にして管を接続することができる。なお、管接続部63a,63bは受口部4aではなく受口部4bに、管5cは受口部4bではなく受口部4aに挿入してもよい。
【0017】
以上説明した本発明の管継手は耐震性に優れるため、排水管における宅内からの出口や、排水枡と排水管との接続部付近など、地震時に集中的に応力がかかる部分に使用すると、排水管等の破損を効果的に防止することができる。
本発明の管継手は、図面に示した態様に限定されることはなく、本発明の範囲を逸脱しない限り種々の変更を施すことができる。例えば、管継手1,1’における受口部4a,4b,4a’,4b’は挿口部であってもよいし、また内管2,2’における環状凸部21,21’間のリブ22,22’はなくてもよい。
【0018】
【発明の効果】
本発明の管継手によれば、管軸方向に沿って圧縮応力がかかった場合でも、該管継手自体及び/又はそれに接続された管等の破損を防止することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pipe joint that connects, for example, a drain pipe and a drain pipe or a drain pipe and a drainage basin, and particularly relates to a pipe joint having excellent earthquake resistance.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the conventional pipe connection structure, what is generally said to have seismic performance is shown in FIGS. In the pipe connection structure shown in FIG. 6, a diameter of a receiving port 71 is formed at one end of the pipe joint 7 via a stepped portion 71 a, and an annular groove 71 b in which a rubber ring R is mounted is formed in the receiving port 71. An insertion opening 72 is formed at the other end of the pipe joint 7, and a connection end 73 a of a pipe 73 to be connected is inserted into the receiving opening 71.
On the other hand, in the pipe connection structure shown in FIG. 7, the diameter of the receiving port 81 is increased at one end of the pipe joint 8 via the stepped portion 81a, the insertion port 82 is formed at the other end, and the joint portion 83 is formed at the intermediate portion. The joint portion 83 is formed by an inner shell portion 83b having a spherical outer surface 83a and an outer shell portion 83d having a spherical inner surface 83c corresponding to the spherical outer surface 83a, and the inner shell portion 83b is formed by the outer shell portion. The connecting end 84a of the pipe 84 to be connected is inserted into the receiving port 81.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When a stress in the bending direction is applied to the pipe connection structure shown in FIG. 6, the pipe 73 rotates around the rubber ring R as a fulcrum, and the stress is absorbed, so that the pipe joint 7 and the pipe 73 are prevented from being damaged. The Further, even when a stress in the extending direction in which the pipe 73 is pulled out from the pipe joint 7 is applied, the pipe joint 7 and / or the pipe 73 moves in the pulling direction and the stress is absorbed. Further, breakage of the pipe 73 is prevented. On the other hand, when a stress in the bending direction is applied to the pipe connection structure shown in FIG. 7, the inner shell portion 83b and / or the outer shell portion 83d of the joint portion 83 rotate and the stress is absorbed. 8 and tube 84 are prevented from being damaged.
[0004]
However, none of the pipe connection structures can cope with the stress in the compression direction in which the pipe is inserted into the pipe joint, and the seismic performance is not perfect. That is, when stress in the compression direction along the tube axis is applied due to an earthquake or the like, in the tube connection structure of FIG. 6, the connection end 73a of the tube 73 abuts on the step portion 71a of the tube joint 7, and the tube of FIG. In the connection structure, the connection end 84a of the tube 84 abuts on the step portion 81a of the receiving port 81, and in the joint portion 83, the spherical outer surface 83a of the inner shell portion 83b is in close contact with the spherical inner surface 83c of the outer shell portion 83d. Since the movement in the direction is fixed and the movement in the insertion direction of the pipe joint 8 and the pipe 84 is prevented, the stress cannot be released. As a result, the pipe joints 7 and 8 and the pipe joint 7 , 8 will be damaged.
[0005]
Conventionally, there is a rubber bellows pipe as a pipe joint that can cope with stress in the compression / extension direction. However, the bellows pipe is not smooth inside and has crests and troughs, so that dirt is collected in the troughs. In addition, it is not suitable for buried piping because it is crushed or deformed by earth pressure.
Furthermore, an expansion tube made of laminated rubber reinforced with inorganic fiber or organic fiber is provided, but the production cost of the laminated rubber is high, and the expansion tube has to be expensive.
[0006]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a pipe joint that is suitable for buried piping, can cope with stress in the compression / extension direction, has a smooth inner surface, and can be manufactured at low cost.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention includes an inner tube 2 made of a stretchable material and having a smooth inner surface, a protective sleeve 3 covering the inner tube 2, and both ends of the inner tube 2. An annular convex portion 21 whose outer periphery is in contact with the inner periphery of the protective sleeve 3 is formed on the peripheral surface of the inner tube 2 , and includes one end of the protective sleeve 3. to is the shell portion 31 is provided with a spherical inner surface 31 a, on the outer surface of one of the pipe connecting portion 4a the in spherical outer surface 41 a corresponding to the spherical inner surface 31 a of the outer shell portion 31 is provided The pipe connection portion 4a provides the pipe joint 1 in which the universal joint 30 is formed by being rotatably fitted to the outer shell portion 31 of the protective sleeve 3 .
Further, the inner tube 2 made of a stretchable material and having a smooth inner surface, a protective sleeve 3 covering the inner tube 2, and pipe connecting portions 4a and 4b inserted at both ends of the inner tube 2 An annular convex portion 21 whose outer periphery is in contact with the inner periphery of the protective sleeve 3 is formed on the peripheral surface of the inner tube 2, and an inner shell having a spherical outer surface 32a at one end of the protective sleeve 3 ′. A portion 32 is provided, and the one pipe connection portion 4a ′ is provided with a member 44 having a spherical inner surface 44a corresponding to the spherical outer surface 32a of the inner shell portion 32. The pipe joint 1 is provided which is rotatably fitted to the inner shell portion 32 of the “protective sleeve 3” and is formed with a universal joint 30 ′ .
[0008]
[Action]
In the pipe joint 1 of the present invention, the pipe connection parts 4a and 4b to which the connection parts of a pair of pipes to be connected are made of a material having elasticity, and are inserted on both sides of the inner pipe 2 having a smooth inner surface. Even when a stress in the compression / extension direction along the tube axis is applied, the inner tube 2 compresses or expands in response to the stress and absorbs the stress. Damage to the pipe connecting portions 4a and 4b and / or the pipes 5a and 5b connected to the pipe connecting portions 4a and 4b is prevented. In addition, since the inner pipe 2 having elasticity is covered with the protective sleeve 3, even when the pipe joint 1 is buried, the inner pipe 2 is protected from earth pressure. It is possible to prevent deformation such as crushing and bending.
Here, when an annular convex portion 21 whose outer periphery is in contact with the inner periphery of the protective sleeve 3 is formed on the peripheral surface of the inner tube 2, the annular convex portion 21 is located between the inner tube 2 and the protective sleeve 3. Since it acts as a spacer, the inner tube 2 is stably held in the protective sleeve 3 while ensuring smooth expansion and contraction.
[0009]
Further, an outer shell portion 31 having a spherical inner surface 31a is provided at one end of the protective sleeve 3, and a spherical outer surface 41a corresponding to the spherical inner surface 31a of the outer shell portion 31 is provided on the outer surface of the one pipe connecting portion 4a. A pipe joint 4a is rotatably fitted to the outer shell 31 of the protective sleeve 3 to form a universal joint 30, or an inner shell 32 having a spherical outer surface 32a is provided at one end of the protective sleeve 3 '. A member 44 having a spherical inner surface 44a corresponding to the spherical outer surface 32a of the inner shell portion 32 is provided in the one pipe connecting portion 4a ′, and the pipe connecting portion is connected to the inner shell portion 32 of the protective sleeve 3 ′. By forming the universal joint 30 ′ by being rotatably fitted, flexibility can be imparted not only to the compression / extension direction but also to the stress in the bending direction.
[0010]

The protective sleeve 3 and the receiving portions 4a and 4b are made of commonly used materials such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl fluoride, styrene-butadiene copolymer, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer, and ethylene-propylene copolymer. It consists of coalescence.
[0013]
In order to connect the pair of pipes 5a and 5b by the pipe joint 1, the pipes 5a and 5b are inserted into the receiving portions 4a and 4b as shown in FIG. In the pipe connection structure, for example, when a stress in the compression direction indicated by the arrow is applied to the pipe joint 1 due to an earthquake or the like, the inner pipe 2 contracts as shown in FIG. 2, and the stress can be absorbed. Damage to the receiving portions 4a and 4b and the tubes 5a and 5b is prevented. The inner pipe 2 has elasticity, but is covered with a protective sleeve 3 held by an annular convex portion 21 formed on the peripheral surface of the inner pipe 2, so that the pipe joint 1 is buried. But it will not be crushed or deformed by earth pressure. Since the annular convex portion 21 formed on the peripheral surface of the inner tube 2 has a function as a spacer between the inner tube 2 and the protective sleeve 3, the inner tube 2 is smooth in the protective sleeve 3. It is kept stable while guaranteeing proper expansion and contraction. Since ribs 22 are further provided between the annular convex portions 21, the strength of the inner tube 2 can be increased, and deformation of the cross-sectional shape of the inner tube 2 can be suppressed.
Further, when a stress in the bending direction is applied to the pipe joint 1, the spherical flange portion 41 of the universal joint portion 30 rotates relative to the outer shell portion 31 of the protective sleeve 3 as shown in FIG. Since it can absorb, damage to the receiving portions 4a and 4b, the tubes 5a and 5b, or the protective sleeve 3 is prevented.
[0014]
A pipe joint according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. The main pipe joint 1 ′ includes a stretchable inner pipe 2 ′ having a plurality of annular convex portions 21 ′ formed on the peripheral surface, a protective sleeve 3 ′ covering the inner pipe 2 ′, and the inner pipe 2 ′. The outer peripheries of the annular projections 21 ′ of the inner tube 2 ′ are in contact with the inner periphery of the protective sleeve 3 ′. An inner shell portion 32 having a spherical outer surface 32a is provided at one end of the protective sleeve 3 ′, and the outer side of one of the receiving portions (receiving portion 4a ′) inserted into both ends of the inner tube 2 ′. Is provided with a spherical flange portion 44 having a spherical inner surface 44a corresponding to the spherical outer surface 32a of the inner shell portion 32, and the spherical flange portion 44 is rotatable to the inner shell portion 32 of the protective sleeve 3 '. The inner shell portion 32 and the spherical flange portion 44 constitute a universal joint portion 30 ′. The receiving portion 4a ′ has a stopper step portion 42 ′ at the innermost portion, and the receiving portion 4b ′ has a stopper step portion 43 ′ at an intermediate portion.
[0015]
As described above, even if the universal shell portion 30 ′ is formed by providing the inner shell portion 32 on the protective sleeve 3 ′ side and the outer shell portion (spherical flange portion 44) on the receiving port portion 4a ′ side, the pipe joint 1 When the stress in the bending direction is applied to ', the spherical flange portion 44 of the universal joint portion 30' rotates with respect to the inner shell portion 32 of the protective sleeve 3 'and can absorb the stress. In addition, the receiving ports 4a ′ and 4b ′, the pipes connected to the receiving ports 4a ′ and 4b ′, or the protective sleeve 3 ′ are prevented from being damaged.
[0016]
The pipe joint of the present invention can be used not only for connecting pipes to pipes but also for connecting drainage pipes and pipes, for example. The example which used the pipe joint of this invention for the connection of a drainage pipe and a pipe | tube is shown in FIG.4 and FIG.5. The pipe joint 1 in FIGS. 4 and 5 is the same as the pipe joint 1 in FIG. The drainage basin 6 includes a main body 61, an inspection tube connecting portion 62 provided at the upper end of the main body 61, and pipe connecting portions 63 a and 63 b that are fed out from the side surfaces of the main body 61. In order to connect the drainage basin 6 and the pipe 5c with the pipe joint 1, the pipe connection portions 63a of the drainage basin 6 are inserted into both ends of the inner pipe 2 as shown in FIGS. The tube 5c is inserted into one of the receiving portions (receiving portion 4a) and the tube 5c is inserted into the other receiving portion 4b. A pipe can be similarly connected to the other pipe connecting portion 63b of the drainage basin 6. The pipe connecting parts 63a and 63b may be inserted into the receiving part 4b instead of the receiving part 4a, and the pipe 5c may be inserted into the receiving part 4a instead of the receiving part 4b.
[0017]
Since the pipe joint of the present invention described above is excellent in earthquake resistance, if it is used in areas where stress is concentrated in the event of an earthquake, such as the outlet from the house in the drain pipe or the vicinity of the connection between the drainage pipe and the drain pipe, It is possible to effectively prevent breakage of the pipe and the like.
The pipe joint of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment shown in the drawings, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the receiving portions 4a, 4b, 4a ′ and 4b ′ in the pipe joints 1 and 1 ′ may be insertion portions, and ribs between the annular convex portions 21 and 21 ′ in the inner tubes 2 and 2 ′. There is no need for 22, 22 '.
