Embodiment Construction

[0030] figure 1 and figure 2 An open loop gland pipe connection 10 is shown in one embodiment of the invention. The pipe connection 10 includes a sleeve 12, a pair of split glands 14, a bridging plate or protector 16 attached to each split gland 14, and an annular gasket attached to each split gland 14 18. With the pipe connection 10 fully assembled, the port E1 of the first pipe P1 is inserted into the sleeve 12 through a split gland 14 and corresponding gasket 18 . The port E2 of the second pipe P2 is inserted into the sleeve 12 through another split gland 14 and a corresponding gasket 18 . The open-ring gland 14 is pressed against the corresponding gasket 18, and the gasket 18 is compressed to form a sealing connection with the pipe ports E1, E2. The open-ring gland 14 and the protector 16 together form a closed annular periphery 19 around the gasket 18, thereby further ensuring that the fluid flowing through the pipelines P1, P2 and the pipeline connector 10 will not ...

Abstract

A pipe coupling for coupling adjacent ends of a pair of pipes includes a sleeve, a split-ring gland positioned around one of the ends of the sleeve, and at least one annular gasket positioned within the split-ring gland and configured to be compressed by the split-ring gland for sealing one pipe end to the sleeve. The split-ring gland includes two partially circular gland members with spaced ends defining a gap. The pipe coupling includes an armor positioned to span the gap between the spaced ends to provide a generally closed annular periphery about the gasket. The armor includes a corrugated portion having a plurality of corrugations engaging the split-ring gland and the gasket during compression of the gasket. The armor is cold formed to improve structural strength and durability.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to pipe connectors and fittings, and more particularly to pipe connectors for joining and sealing the adjacent ends of two pipes of the same or different diameters. Background technique [0002] A common pipe connection for joining and sealing the adjacent ends of two pipes includes a connecting sleeve or collar extending from each pipe end to each end of the connecting sleeve. Gaskets are provided at both ends of the sleeve to cover the pipe portion. An annular flange or gland is attached to each gasket and the end of the sleeve, tightening the flange or gland causes the gasket to compress the pipe ends to seal the pipe connection. The prior US patent (US6168210) shows a pipe connection and uses flanges which are connected together by bolting the sleeves. There is a special relationship between the flange, the sleeve end and the gasket, which affects the seal when the flanges are pulled against each other, and allows sa...
