Definitions
- the invention concerns an apparatus for attachment of pipes to a constructional element, such as a nipple or the like, which apparatus is more closely defined in the preamble of claim 1.
- a screw sleeve and a clamping ring are slipped onto a pipe end, which then is pushed onto a cylindrical support sleeve of a nipple. Thereupon, the screw sleeve is screwed on and tightened by means of a suitable spanner.
- a characterizing feature of such a screw joint is, that manufacturing tolerances must be chosen such, that the pipe can be pushed onto said sleeve and the external diameter of the pipe thereby will not be changed in such a way, that subsequently the clamping ring and the screw sleeve no longer can be assembled.
- a drawback with the previously known clamping screw joints and sliding sleeve joints is, that each of them shows specially designed support sleeves and constructional elements provided with such sleeves, respectively.
- This is disadvantageous in so far, as the joining of pipes by means of sliding sleeves, which per se is easier to accomplish, not always is possible for space reasons, in which case a clamping screw joint composed of completely different parts has to be chosen.
- This necessitates the provision of different sets of nipples and accessories suitable for a clamping screw joint and for a sliding sleeve joint, respectively.
- Other reasons for choosing either sliding sleeve joints or clamping screw joints is that the former often are used as permanent joints and the latter as detachable joints.
- Further drawbacks with previously known joints of any kind are complex and therefore expensive designs, liability to leakage and/or break-down as well as assemblage problems of various kinds .
- a typical sliding sleeve joint is previously known by EP-A-0 159 997.
- a typical clamping screw joint is previously known by US-A-3 174 778.
- Each of these joints is specially designed for its purpose. No provisions have been made for alternative or simultaneous use as a sliding sleeve joint and/or a clamping screw joint, respectively. Consequently, none of such joints is usable for any other purpose than what they are specially designed for.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide an apparatus, which optionally may be used for a clamping screw joint and/or a sliding sleeve joint. Further objectives are to counteract and, as far as possible, eliminate the afore-mentioned drawbacks.
- pipes may be attached to one and the same constructional element carrying a support sleeve optionally by a clamping screw joint, in which case a screw sleeve and a clamping ring will be used, or by way of a sliding sleeve joint, in which case a sliding sleeve and a press ring will be used.
- both types of joints may be used adjacent each other with the clamping screw joint closest to the constructional element.
- the constructional element as such, e.g. a nipple may be designed for internal or external screw joints, as straight or angled or multiple branch connection coupling or as T-conduit with uniform or reduced outlets, connectors or plates, parts of distributors etc .
- the constructional element carrying the supporting sleeve shows a conical ring surface adjacent to a bevel of the clamping ring, at an exterior surface of the constructional element carrying the supporting sleeve being provided a thread, onto which the screw sleeve may be screwed, the screw sleeve showing a conical surface associated to a further bevel at the exterior circumferential surface of the clamping ring.
- the invention may furthermore provide that the section of the supporting sleeve associated to the clamping ring of the clamping screw joint is arranged adjacent to the con- structional element carrying the supporting sleeve, while the section associated to the clamping sleeve of the clamping sleeve joint is provided within the region of the free end of the sup ⁇ porting sleeve, overlaps or common section profiling being possible.
- the pipes don't have to be widened any longer, such as this usually is necessary with the conventional sliding sleeve joints. They may, of course, be widened, if this is expressly desired.
- the invention furthermore offers the advantage of being applicable to the same extent for both plastic piping and metallic piping as well as for compound piping of plastic material and metal .
- Fig. 1 shows in a partially sectioned side elevational view a first, mirror-symmetrical embodiment of an apparatus according to the invention, the upper half showing a clamping screw joint and the lower half a sliding sleeve joint without any deformation of a press ring
- Fig. 2 shows a different, angled embodiment of a basic body of the apparatus according to the invention, the upper/left end of which forms part of an apparatus according to the invention, while some other kind of coupling is connectable to the lower/right end of said body
- Fig. 3 is a side elevational view of a clamping ring forming part of a clamping screw joint
- Fig. 4 is an end view of the ring as shown in fig. 3,
- Fig. 5 is a side elevational view in diametrical section of an apparatus according to the invention, by means of which a pipe is attached to a basic body, uppermost by a sliding sleeve joint and lowermost by a clamping screw joint
- Fig. 6 is a magnified detail of a support sleeve of the basic body
- Fig. 7 is a side elevational view in diametrical section of a press ring forming part of a sliding sleeve joint
- Fig. 8 is a magnified detail of the press ring shown in fig. 7.
- the basic body 1 may be differently shaped, e.g. angled, T-shaped, cross-shaped and so forth with one, several or all ends designed as an apparatus according to the invention, while any remaining ends may be designed for couplings of any design.
- the support sleeve 2 as it may be used within the framework of the invention at basic bodies 1, is shown on an enlarged scale in fig. 6. It is profiled at its external surface by annular grooves 12, 13 and by beads 14 provided therebetween, the arrangement being such, that in a section K at the free end 11 of the support sleeve 2 there are provided four grooves 12. Section K of the support sleeve 2 is the section, in which the press ring 4 is pressed by the sliding sleeve 3 from the outside against the pipe 10. Fig.
- the beads 14, each of which being arranged between two grooves 12 and 13, respectively, are preferably asymmetrical when seen in a cross-sectional view, the flanks 15 turned towards the free end 11 of the support sleeve 2 enclosing a more pointed angle with the axis 17 of the support sleeve 2 than the flanks 16 of the beads 14 facing the other side.
- the external surfaces 18 of the beads 14 are preferably cylindrical surfaces arranged coaxially in relation to the axis 17 of the support sleeve 2.
- the sliding sleeve 3 is an annular body with bevels 20 at the ends of its internal surface 21, whereby the bevels 20 may include an angle of 20° with the axis of the sliding sleeve 3.
- Fig. 7 shows the press ring 4 used for the sliding sleeve joint, this press ring 4 being shown in fig. 8 on an enlarged scale.
- the press ring 4 is a substantially sleeve-like body with an outwardly projecting flange 22 at its one end and a preferably substantially smooth internal surface 23.
- the flanks 27 of the beads 24 enclose an angle of e.g. 45° with the axis 26, while the flank 28 of the end side bead 24 at the end 46 of the press ring 4 turned away from the flange 22 may enclose an angle of 60° with the axis 26 and connect to a shallow end groove 34 connecting in its turn to a thin free press ring end 37.
- the flange 22 of the press ring 4 forms an abutment surface 29 which, in case of a sliding sleeve joint, is flush with an abutment surface 30 of the shoulder 6.
- the clamping ring 5 of the clamping screw joint as shown in fig.s 3 and 4 is a ring with a slot 31, so that the clamping ring 5 may be contracted in radial direction.
- the screw sleeve 7 is principally shaped as a hexagonal nut and may be screwed with its internal thread 8 onto the external thread 9 of the basic body 1.
- the sleeve will press with its bevel 35 against the clamping ring 5, whose one bevel 32 abuts the bevel 35 of the screw sleeve 7.
- the other bevel 32 of the clamping ring 5 abuts a bevel 36 of the basic body 1, which bevel is provided radially inside of the support surface 30 for the press ring 4, so that the clamping ring 5 is radially contracted when tightening the screw sleeve 7 and thereby deforms the pipe 10 such, that the pipe in the section S of the support sleeve 2 is pressed into the grooves 13 there.
- support sleeves 2 having a largest external diameter, which is larger than the internal diameter of the pipe 10 to be attached prior to its deformation, the pipe 10 being slidable onto the support sleeve 2 without preceding (plastical, i.e. permanent) widening (possibly with the aid of a tool) .
- Such support sleeves should be considered falling under the definition: the external diameter of the support sleeve 2 being at the most equal to the internal diameter of the pipe 10 to be attached without any deformation.
- Support sleeves on which the pipe 10 with the aid of a tool must be permanently plastically deformed by increasing its diameter, so that the pipe may be pushed onto the support sleeve, are not considered to fall under the definition: the external diameter of the support sleeve is at the most equal to the internal diameter of the pipe to be attached prior to deformation.
- the invention may be summarized as following:
- a screw sleeve 7 and a clamping ring 5 associated to the latter radially inside the same on the one side and a sliding sleeve 3 as well as a press ring 4 on the other side.
- the clamping ring 5 will be pressed from the outside against the pipe 10 in section S of the support sleeve 2 by tightening the screw sleeve 7, whereby the latter is screwed onto the thread 9 of the nipple 1, so that the pipe becomes fixed to the support sleeve 2.
