Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to pipe nipples, and, more particularly, the present invention relates to pipe nipples used as transition pieces between hoses and other system components in automobile cooling systems.
  • Pipe nipples are commonly used as transition pieces in fluid systems of all types.
  • a pipe nipple is a short piece of pipe with each of the ends adapted for connection to other components or other pipes within the fluid system.
  • pipe nipples in automobile cooling systems as a transition piece between cooling system components such as, for example, a water pump, and a hose conducting coolant to or from the pump.
  • One end of the nipple has external threads thereon for threaded engagement with a threaded port on the pump, and the other end of the pipe nipple is adapted to receive thereon a prepared end of the hose.
  • a ring clamp is used to secure the hose on the nipple.
  • a portion of the nipple between the threads and the opposite end of the nipple is provided for engagement by a tool used to turn the nipple threads into the threads of the pump threaded port.
  • the portion of the nipple engaged by the tool may be round or may have flattened faces, depending on the type of tool to be used for rotating the nipple.
  • Known nipples of this type have been manufactured by machining processes.
  • Known automotive cooling system nipples have disadvantages and inadequacies. Manufacturing a cooling system nipple by screw machining or other similar cutting equipment inherently leaves grooves on all surfaces that are touched by the machine tool. Such grooves on the interior surface of the pipe nipple bore are problematic to some degree. A rough surface along which the coolant flows increases the friction co-efficient in the pipe nipple, which then tends to inhibit the flow of coolant through the nipple. Moreover, a rough surface promotes the accumulation of corrosive products, which not only may adversely affect the strength of the connector, but also further inhibit flow through the pipe nipple.
  • the present invention provides a pipe nipple particularly suited for automotive cooling systems which is formed by cold forming processes, has an elongated internal drive configuration, and can be provided with a positive stop for the end of a hose applied thereon.
  • the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a pipe nipple for an automobile cooling system, with steps of cold-forming a tubular body having first and second ends and a bore there through from the first end to the second end; threading a portion of the body from the first end inwardly toward the second end; forming an outwardly extending flange at the second end; and shaping the bore from the second end inwardly toward the first end to receive a tool therein for rotating the nipple about a longitudinal axis of the nipple.
  • the present invention provides a nipple with a tubular body having an outer surface, first and second ends and a longitudinal bore there through.
  • the first end has threads thereon, and the second end has an outwardly extending flange and is configured to receive a hose thereon.
  • the bore is configured at the second end for receiving a tool therein for axially rotating the nipple.
  • the present invention provides a pipe nipple for an automobile cooling system.
  • the nipple has a tubular body having an outer surface, a first end having threads adapted for engagement with threads of a cooling system component, a second end adapted to be received in a cooling system hose, and a longitudinal bore extending there through.
  • the second end has an outwardly extending flange and is configured for a hose to slide over the flange.
  • the bore is configured at the second end for receiving a tool therein for axially rotating the nipple.
  • An advantage of the present invention is providing a pipe nipple particularly suited for automotive cooling systems, in which the fluid contacting surfaces are not touched by cutting tools thereby eliminating even micro-scratches on the surfaces.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is providing a pipe nipple having a large contact area for engagement by a tool or tools to rotate the nipple.
  • Still another advantage of the present invention is providing a stop on the exterior of the pipe nipple for verifying that an end of the hose applied over the end of the nipple has been applied sufficiently far onto the nipple.
  • a further advantage of the present invention is providing a pipe nipple configured to allow the end of the hose to relax, reducing crack propagation inwardly from the end of the hose.
  • FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a pipe nipple in accordance with the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is an end view of the pipe nipple shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is an elevational view similar to that of FIG. 1, but illustrating a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is an end view of the pipe nipple shown in FIG. 3.
  • Nipple 10 designates a pipe nipple in accordance with the present invention.
  • Nipple 10 is particularly suited for use as a nipple in an automotive cooling system, to serve as a transition between, for example, a hose of the cooling system and a water pump in the cooling system.
  • pipe nipples in accordance with the present invention can be used for other purposes within automotive cooling system and for other fluid systems of other types.
  • Nipple 10 is an elongated, generally annular body 12 having an exterior surface 14 and an axial bore 16 defined by an interior surface 18 .
  • Nipple 10 is formed of steel or other metals by known cold forming processes such as, for example, eyelet forming or metal drawing. Using punches, dies and the like without machining or cutting to form the elongated structure of body 12 eliminates contact by cutting tools on interior surface 18 . Thereby, scratches are not formed on interior surface 18 , and corrosive components do not accumulate thereon. Further, fluid flows smoothly and efficiently along interior surface 18 with reduced drag from the reduced presence of surface irregularities.
  • Body 12 has a first end 20 and a second end 22 .
  • a portion of exterior surface 14 from first end 20 inwardly toward second end 22 is provided with a pipe thread 24 .
  • Pipe thread 24 is of a pitch and depth to engage female threads in a fluid system component to which nipple 10 is to be attached.
  • pipe threads 24 can be provided to engage a threaded port of a water pump (not shown).
  • Second end 22 is adapted to receive thereon a hose (not shown) of an automotive cooling system.
  • Second end 22 is provided with a radially extending circumferential flange 26 slightly inwardly from an outer edge 28 of second end 22 .
  • a ramp surface 30 is provided between outer edge 28 and flange 26 .
  • the diameter of nipple 10 at outer edge 28 is provided to readily receive and align a hose (not shown) to be inserted thereon.
  • the diameter of flange 26 is slightly larger than the inside diameter of the hose (not shown), causing the house to stretch as it is slid over flange 26 .
  • Exterior surface 14 is provided of a diameter to snuggly engage the hose.
  • a drive configuration 40 is provided in bore 16 from second end 22 inwardly toward first end 20 .
  • nipple 10 is provided with six corner points 42 by which a hexagonal drive tool can be inserted into bore 16 for rotating nipple 10 .
  • drive configuration 40 can be of significantly longer length. Further, with an end drive configuration 40 ratcheting tools or other powered rotary tools are more easily used for rotating nipple 10 .
  • Exterior surface 14 is provided with one or more surface formations 44 , such as a plurality of outwardly extending wings 46 , which provide both a visual and physical indication when a hose (not shown) has been sufficiently applied over nipple 10 .
  • a ring clamp or hose clamp can encircle the hose between wings 46 and flange 26 to properly seal the hose against the nipple in a fluid tight connection.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a nipple 50 also in accordance with the present invention.
  • Nipple 50 is similar to nipple 10 , as evidenced by the similar numerals indicating similar parts and features between nipples 10 and 50 .
  • nipple 50 includes a different surface formation 44 .
  • a circumferential ring 52 is provided instead of wings 46 . Ring 52 serves a similar purpose as wings 46 , providing a stop against which the end of a hose (not shown) can be abutted.
  • a circumferential depression 54 is provided in exterior surface 14 immediately adjacent ring 52 , at least on the side of ring 52 facing the hose (not shown) to be applied thereon. Depression 54 allows the end of the hose (not shown) to relax, thereby reducing the propensity for cracks to propagate inwardly in the hose from the outer end thereof.
  • Surface formations 44 such as wings 46 and ring 52 , can be formed by metal pinching or other similar processes well known to those skilled in the metal forming arts.
  • nipple 10 or nipple 50 thread 24 is aligned with the mating threads of the component to which nipple 10 or 50 is to be attached.
  • the appropriate tool is inserted into drive configuration 40 , and is rotated to tighten the nipple.
  • ratcheting tools and the like are used more easily than with conventional nipples driven from the exterior surface 14 thereof. The tool is easily seated properly in drive configuration 40 , and the danger of damaging threads 24 or of the area of exterior surface 14 on which a hose will be seated is reduced substantially.
  • the hose is slid over ramp surface 30 and flange 26 .
  • the installer is assured that a sufficient length of the hose is present on the nipple to be properly sealed thereon by an appropriate clamp.
  • the outer edge of the hose is positioned in depression 54 , thereby relieving the strain of the hose stretched over body 12 . Crack origination and propagation inwardly from the end of the hose is reduced.
  • the present invention provides an improved automotive cooling system pipe nipple which is more easily driven for engagement with other cooling system components and which eliminates scratches on fluid contacting surfaces which can form corrosion sites and inhibit fluid flow there along. Further, the invention provides both a physical and visual indication when a hose has been applied over the nipple a length sufficient for proper engagement by a clamp ring used to secure the hose on the nipple. In one embodiment of the invention the end of a hose applied on the nipple is allowed to relax to reduce crack formation and crack propagation.
