Definitions
- the present invention relates, in general, to pipe joints to couple pipes to each other and, more particularly, to a pipe joint which joins pipes, such as branch pipes and drain pipes provided in a lower portion of a manhole, and provides a superior seal after joining the pipes, thus preventing water from leaking at a junction of the joined pipes, and which can easily join pipes even though the pipes are different diameters .
- pipes such as branch pipes and drain pipes provided in a lower portion of a manhole
- a conventional pipe joint includes a main body 2 which has at an inner surface thereof a cushion unit 5 made of rubber.
- the pipe joint further includes coupling parts 3 which have bent shapes and are coupled at both ends of the main body 2 by welding.
- the pipe joint further includes an extension part 4 which is provided on one end of the main body 2 while extending from the coupling part 3.
- the conventional pipe joint having the above-mentioned construction is mounted around a junction of pipes 1.
- the coupling parts 3 are coupled to each other by locking bolts 6 and locking nuts 7.
- the extension part 4 of the main body 2 is inserted between an end of the cushion unit 11 and the opposite end of the main body 2, thus being in close contact together into a stacked shape.
- the pipe joint can join the pipes 1 within a range capable of overlapping the extension part 4 and the opposite end of the main body 2.
- a gap undesirably occurs between an inner surface of the main body 2 of the pipe joint and an outer surface of the small pipe 1.
- the main body 2 of the conventional pipe joint has a cylindrical shape having a constant diameter
- the cushion unit 5 provided inside the main body 2 has superior elasticity, it is very difficult to firmly seal the junction between the two pipes 1 coupled to each other to be stepped.
- the extension part 4 of the main body 2 is inserted too far between the opposite end of the main body 2 and the end of the cushion unit 5, a part of the cushion unit 5 may detach from the inner surface of the main body 2.
- the detached part of the cushion unit 5 may undesirably fold two or three times. In this case, gaps are caused in the detached part of the cushion unit 5. Water leakage may occur at such gaps .

Due to the stepped parts 12a, 23a and 44a, the pipe joint of the present invention can simply join pipes 1 having different diameters. Even when a pipe 1 is inserted into another pipe 1, the water tightness of the pipes 1 is reliably maintained.
- the sealing units 11, 11a, 41, 41a which are made of a rubber or a synthetic resin, such as polyethylene (PE) , are provided inside the body part 10, 10a and the reinforcing unit 40, 40a to provide the sealing effect. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS.
- a plurality of close contact means 50, 50a each having a groove shape is formed on a surface of the sealing unit 11, 11a, which is in close contact with the inner surface of the body part 10, 10a, to be spaced apart from each other at regular intervals.
- the close contact means 50, 50a increases a contact force at a contact surface between the reinforcing unit 40, 40a and the body part 10, 10a and serves as a cushion material between the outer surfaces of the pipes 1 and the inner surface of the body part 10, 10a.
- upper and lower parts of the sealing material 11 may differ in thickness.
- this pipe joint can execute the same role as that of the embodiment in which the upper and lower parts of the body part 10a differ in inner and outer diameters from each other.
- the reinforcing unit 40, 40a of the present invention is gradually reduced in thickness from the center to both ends thereof .
- the reinforcing unit 40, 40a is made of a metal or a synthetic resin having a predetermined hardness to be curved into the same curvature as that of the body part 10a.
- the reinforcing unit 40, 40a having the above- mentioned structure is in close contact with the inner surface of the body part 10, 10a to reinforce the sealing effect at the coupling parts 20, 20a.
- the reinforcing unit 40, 40a further includes a stop means 42, 42a having a stepped shape.
- a stop means 42, 42a having a stepped shape.
- the stop means 42, 42a serves to help longitudinally position the reinforcing unit 40, 40a.
- a positioning means 43, 43a having a stepped shape and a role as a basic line is longitudinally provided on an outer surface of the reinforcing unit 40, 40a.
- the positioning means 43, 43a serves to help horizontally position the reinforcing unit 40, 40a which is mounted to the body part 10, 10a.
- the body part 10, 10a of the pipe joint of the present invention is firmly mounted around a junction between the pipes 1 by the locking means 30, 30a, such as a locking bolt 31, 31a and a locking nut 32, 32a, which is tightened into each of the locking holes 21, 21a of the coupling parts 20, 20a.
- the locking holes 21, 21a of at least one side of the opposite coupling parts 20, 20a are defined into angled shapes, such as rectangular or hexagonal shapes.
- the locking nuts 32, 32a of the locking means 30, 30a are also angled to correspond to the angled locking holes 21, 21a, thus easily tightening of the locking means 30, 30a into the locking holes 21, 21a.
- the pipe joint of the present invention can easily solve problems, such as water leakage, occurring due to a difference in diameter between two pipes 1 when the two pipes 1 are coupled to each other such that one is inserted into the other.
- the body part 10, 10a is placed around the junction of the pipes 1.
- the reinforcing unit 40, 40a is positioned at a predetermined position around the coupling parts 20, 20a of the body part 10, 10a, which surrounds the junction of the pipes 1, by using the stop means 40, 40a and the positioning means 42, 42a.
- the locking means 30, 30a is tightened into each of the locking holes 21, 21a of the coupling parts 20, 20a. Then, the body part 10, 10a come into close contact with the outer surface of the pipes 1 while a gap between the coupling parts 10, 10a becomes narrowed.
- the sealing unit 11, 41, 11a and 41a which are provided inside the body part 10, 10a and the reinforcing unit 40, 40a, are compressed between the outer surface of the pipes 1 and the inner surfaces of the body part 10, 10a and the reinforcing unit 40, 40a, respectively.
- the desired contact force is maintained at the body part 10, 10a and the reinforcing unit 40, 40a by the close contact means 50, 50a provided in each of the sealing means 11, 41, 11a and 41a, .
- the bending part 22a of each of the coupling parts 20a has a sufficiently wide contact area.
- the pipe joint of the present invention can be adapted to pipes 1 having diameters larger than the body part 10, 10a and, as well, it can prevent water leakage from occurring at a junction between the pipes .
- the present invention provides a pipe joint which joins pipes, such as branch pipes and drain pipes in a manhole, and by which pipes having various diameters as well as pipes having different diameters can be easily joined, thus reducing the time required for joining pipes. Particular, even when the pipes are joined into a stepped shape, a gap between the pipe joint and the pipes is firmly sealed, thus preventing water from leaking.
- a body part and coupling parts comprise an integrated plate or the coupling parts are integrally coupled to the body part. Therefore, the durability of the product is improved and, as well, the productivity of the pipe joint is increased by an improvement in a manufacturing process. As such, the pipe joint of the present invention greatly affects both producers and consumers due to its economic efficiency.
