Abstract

To make it possible to remove pipe members that are connected together by moving the pipe members in a radial direction, for example, without moving the pipe members in an axial direction, a pipe joint comprises a series of unit members each of which is rotatably connected to the adjacent one another and a fastener for connecting the unit members locating at both ends. A pair of the pipe members take a centering posture or a posture equivalent to the centering posture by engaging the flange portion of a pair of the pipe members with both axial sides of the unit members. A pair of the pipe members are connected together in the centering posture by connecting the unit members locating at both ends using the fastener so as to make the unit members in an annular state and by fastening the fastener.

A valve includes a housing defining therein a channel, a valve seat on an inner surface of the housing at a middle of the channel, a valve body member seated on and unseated from the valve seat to close and open the channel, and a stem spaced from the valve seat and rotatable around a first axis parallel with an opening surface of the valve seat. The valve body member and the stem respectively have a restricting hole and a restricting projection mutually slidably engageable to form a cam mechanism. The cam mechanism, in conjunction with rotation of the stem, reciprocates the valve body member between the seated position and the unseated position, and rotates the valve body member to be in a posture along a flow direction of a fluid flowing through the housing at the unseated position.

A fitting to be connected to a pipe includes: a first member; a second member coupled by screw coupling with the first member; and a ferrule placed in an accommodation space formed by an inner circumferential surface of the first member, an inner circumferential surface of the second member, and an outer circumferential surface of the pipe. The ferrule has a rising portion including a first end portion, a pressed portion located closer to a second end portion than the rising portion, and an intermediate portion including a portion where an inner diameter is greater than the first end portion and the second end portion, the intermediate portion connecting together the rising portion and the pressed portion. The first member has a first tapered inner circumferential surface, which is an inner circumferential surface having a tapered shape, to be in contact with the first end portion of the ferrule. The second member has a pressing portion for pressing at least a portion of the pressed portion of the ferrule. The accommodation space has a first clearance space for accommodating the ferrule therein and allowing the rising portion to rise so as to increase an angle of the rising portion with respect to the outer circumferential surface of the pipe.

Abstract

An engagement section of a holder is engaged with a metal gasket, the gasket is received in a tubular section, and the tubular section is fitted in a step of a connection pipe. Another connection pipe is placed close to and facing the connection pipe that holds the gasket through the holder, and a center ring is installed surrounding the outer peripheries of the flanges. While a trapezoidal section having slopes which define both sides is inserted into a groove, center ring segments are closed to form a ring shape. A bolt which penetrates through a cutout of a segment is screwed into a threaded hole of the segment. The screwing of the bolt causes the amount of insertion of the trapezoidal section, which has slopes which define both sides, into the groove to be increased. As a result, the distance between flanges is reduced and the contact pressure of projections against both sides of the gasket is increased.

Abstract

A method and a device for bending a metal hollow thick-walled member to a specified angle without deviation of the bending center position and without separation from a semi-die when an extrusion die moves up. With a pair of guide plates turnably attached to a center pin CP kept horizontal and the axis center of the center pin intersecting with the axis center of the metal hollow thick-walled member PM, the member PM is mounted on a semi-die (82a). When metal die holding members fixed to the above guide plates and kept horizontal are inclined and separated from each other as the center pin lowers, the member PM is bent to a specified angle and held on a semi-die (82b). When the center pin that can be moved vertically by a guide member moves down to a specified bending position, a contact portion (96b) contacts the inclined surface of a stopper (92b) to allow a base plate (16) to receive a pressurizing force from an upper die via the stopper.

Abstract

An engagement section (7a) of a holder (7) is engaged with a metal gasket (6), the gasket (6) is received in a tubular section (7b), and the tubular section (7b) is fitted in a step section (5a) of a connection pipe (1a). Then, another connection pipe (1b) is placed close to and facing the connection pipe (1a) that holds the gasket (6) through the holder (7), and a center ring (9) is installed surrounding the outer peripheries of flanges (2a, 2b). Subsequently, while a trapezoidal section having slopes (3a, 3b) as opposite sides is inserted into a groove (14), segments (10a-10c) are closed to form a ring shape. A bolt (11) penetrated through a cutout (12) of the segment (10a) is screwed into a threaded hole (13) of the segment (10c). The screwing of the bolt causes the amount of insertion of the trapezoidal section, which has the slopes (3a, 3b) as opposite sides, into the groove (14) to be increased. As a result the distance between the flanges (2a, 2b) is reduced and contact pressure of projections (4a, 4b) against both sides of the gasket (6) is increased.
