Definitions
- the invention relates to a joint for joining two tubular plastic parts together by a threaded joint.
- joints are often provided by screwing tubular plastic parts together.
- medical equipment so as pen shaped injection syringes such a syringe may be provided by accommodating a cylinder ampoule in a housing comprising two tubular members which are screwed together, one member having an outer thread engaging an inner thread in the other member.
- the outer thread is provided on a cylindric part of the fist member, which cylindric part has a smaller diameter than the main diameter of the tubular member.
- the thread appears with a free end and an end adjacent to the first tubular member leaving, due to the different diameters of the threaded cylindric part and the tubular part, a shoulder against which the end surface at an open end of the second member may abut when the first member is screwed with its cylindric externally threaded part into an open end of the second member having an internal thread at this open end.
- the treads must then be so adapted that the marks are aligned when the joint is appropriately tightened, but it will often be possible to tighten the joint a bit more. This will bring the marks out of alignment and may be damaging to the plastic parts as mentioned above. Consequently it is necessary to provide a stop which locks the relative rotation of the parts to the rotational position in which the marks are aligned and the tightening of the joint is loose enough to not damage the plastic parts.
- this is obtained by a joint for joining a first and a second part so that this first and second part maintain a predefined rotational position in relation to each other, the joint comprising an internal thread in the first part the internal thread of which has an inner end and an outer free end receiving an outer free end of a corresponding external thread on the second part the external thread of which has an inner end adjacent to the second part, characterized in that a free end of the ridge and the inner end of the groove forming the threads are bounded by surfaces lying in a plane through the axis of the threads, and that the length of the threads are so adapted that a plane end surface of the ridge of one thread engage the plane end surface of the groove of the other thread when the two parts are screwed together and occupy the predefined mutual rotational position.
- the free ends of the ridges of both threads and the inner ends of both grooves may be bounded by surfaces lying in a plane through the axis of the threads.
- the thread may be a multiple thread to obtain a good joint with a minimum of screwing.
- Figure 1 shows a joint according to the known art
- Figure 2 shows the male part of a joint according to the invention
- Figure 3 shows the female part of a joint according to the invention
- Figure 4 shows the male part of figure 2 in another rotational position.
- the joint according to the known art as shown i figure 1 comprises a male part 1 carrying an external thread 2 which thread fits into an internal thread 3 in a female part 4.
- the male part 1 is at the inner end of the thread provided with a flange 5 designed for abutting an end surface 6 of the female part 4 when the parts are screwed together.
- a protrusion 7 on the flange of the male part 1 follows a cut out 8 parallel with the thread 3 in the female part 4 to stop the screwing by abutment against a plane end surface 9 of the cut out 8.
- the protrusion 7 and the end surface 9 of the cut out 8 are so designed that the screwing is stopped when the male and the female parts are in a wanted rotational position in relation to each other and before the mutual abutment pressure between the flange 5 and the end surface 6 of the female part attains an unacceptable value.
- a sawtooth projection 10 is provided at the inner end of the thread 2 on the male part.
- the sawtooth projection 10 will ride over a ramp shaped protrusion 11 at the outer end of the thread 3 in the female part and the steep flanks of these protrusions will get into mutual engagement at the same time as the protrusion 7 abuts the surface 9 so that the male and the female parts are locked together. It shall be noticed that the cut out is cut further into to the material than the bottom of the thread and only can be made due to the relative large wall thickness of the male part.
- the male part 21 has an external thread 22 designed for engagement with an internal thread 33 in the female part.
- the front end of the external thread is bounded by a surface 27 lying in a plane through the axis of the male part 21.
- the front end of the internal thread is bounded by a surface 37 lying in a plane through the axis of the female part 34.
- the inner end of the groove of the external thread 22 is bounded by a surface 29 lying in a plane through the axis of the male part 21, and correspondingly the inner end of the groove of the internal thread 33 is bounded by a surface 39 lying in a plane through the axis of the female part 34.
- the threads are so designed that when the surface 27 abuts the surface 39, the surface 37 will abut the surface 29 when the two parts 21 and 34 are screwed together.
- the surfaces 27, 29 of the male part and the surfaces 37 and 39 of the female part are provided at well defined rotational positions relative to the respective parts, the mutual abutment of the surfaces 27, 39 and 37, 29, respectively, will ensure a well defined positioning of the two parts relative to each other when these two parts are screwed together until said mutual abutment is obtained.
- lock mechanisms may be provided to maintain the parts in this position or the locking effect obtained by an end surface 36 of the female part 34 pressing against a shoulder 25 at the inner end of the external thread 22 of the male part 21 may be relied on.
- the force by which the end surface 36 abuts the shoulder 25 may be adjusted during the moulding of the female part by displacing a moulding core axially.
- the position of the thread may be adjusted in relation to the end surface 36 without changing the rotational position of the surfaces 37 and 39 in relation to the female part as a whole.
- Figure 4 shows the male part in a rotational position revealing the surface 29 at the inner end of the groove of the external thread 22.
- the joint is shown with a single thread, but the thread may be a multiplex thread without deviating from the scope of the invention.
- the thread is shown as a square thread, but other shapes may as well be used.
