Description

本発明は、一方の流路構成部材の受口部に他方の流路構成部材の挿口部を挿入し、リング状のシール部材を介して密封状に接続される接続箇所に設けられ、前記流路構成部材同士の離脱を防止する離脱防止装置及びこの装置を備えた管継手に関する。 The present invention is provided at a connecting portion where a socket portion of one flow path constituting member is inserted into a socket portion of the other flow path constituting member, and a sealing connection is made via a ring-shaped sealing member. The present invention relates to a detachment prevention device for preventing detachment of flow path constituent members, and a pipe joint provided with this device.

従来の流路構成部材同士の離脱を防止する離脱防止装置としては、流路構成部材を構成する挿口部に外嵌された本体部材の内部に、この挿口部に係止するための係止部材を収容し、挿口部の端部に外嵌したリング状のシール部材及びこれを密封状態で保持する保持部材とともに、別の流路構成部材である受口部に向け管軸方向に挿入して密封状に接続するものがある。 As a conventional detachment prevention device for preventing detachment of flow path constituting members, a hook for engaging with the insertion opening is provided inside a body member externally fitted to the insertion opening constituting the flow path construction member. Together with a ring-shaped seal member that accommodates a stop member and is externally fitted on the end of the spigot portion and a holding member that holds it in a sealed state, it extends in the pipe axial direction toward the socket portion that is another flow path constituting member. Some are inserted and connected in a sealed manner.

このような離脱防止装置には、本体部材の内部に収容した係止部材に、受口部内面に向けて管軸方向に延びる押出軸の一端を接続するものがあり、当該装置の本体部材を受口部に管軸方向に接続する際に、この押出軸の他端が受口部の内面に当接して得られる支持力で、本体部材に伴う係止部材の管軸方向の進入を規制することで、係止部材に与える管軸方向の押圧力を遮断し、この状態で更に管軸方向に進行する本体部材の内面のテーパ面を利用して、この係止部材に内径方向の押圧力を与え、係止部材を挿口部に係止するものがある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 In such a detachment prevention device, there is one in which one end of a push shaft extending in the pipe axial direction toward the inner surface of the socket is connected to a locking member housed inside the body member. When connecting to the receptacle in the pipe axial direction, the other end of the extruded shaft contacts the inner surface of the receptacle, and the supporting force obtained prevents the locking member from entering in the pipe axial direction along with the main body member. In this state, the tapered surface of the inner surface of the main body member further progressing in the pipe axial direction is utilized to push the locking member in the radial direction. There is a technique in which pressure is applied to lock the locking member to the receptacle (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

しかしながら、特許文献１にあっては、流路構成部材を密封するためのシール部材及びこれを保持する保持部材に、係止部材に接続された押出軸を貫通させるための貫通孔が形成されているため、シール部材による密封性に影響を及ぼすばかりか、軸径の細い押出軸では係止部材の管軸方向の移動を規制する十分な支持力を得られず、係止部材に対し管軸方向の押圧力と内径方向の押圧力を複合して与えてしまう結果、係止部材が挿口部の外周面に係止する食い込みに不具合が生じ、所期の離脱防止機能を十分に発揮できない虞が発生するという問題がある。 However, in Patent Document 1, a seal member for sealing the flow path forming member and a holding member for holding the seal member are formed with through holes for allowing the push shaft connected to the locking member to pass therethrough. This not only affects the sealing performance of the sealing member, but also the extruded shaft with a small shaft diameter cannot provide sufficient supporting force to restrict the movement of the locking member in the pipe axial direction, and the locking member is not supported by the pipe shaft. As a result of applying a combined pressing force in the direction and in the inner diameter direction, the locking member will not bite into the outer peripheral surface of the insertion opening, and the intended detachment prevention function will not be sufficiently exhibited. There is a problem that fear occurs.

本発明は、このような問題点に着目してなされたもので、シール部材の密封性に影響を与えることなく、且つ離脱防止機能を十分に発揮できる離脱防止装置及びこの装置を備えた管継手を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and provides a separation prevention device capable of sufficiently exhibiting a separation prevention function without affecting the sealing performance of a sealing member, and a pipe joint provided with this device. intended to provide

尚、本実施例では、第１フォルダ部材５１及び第２フォルダ部材５６には、筒状部５３，５３，…及び凸部５８，５８，…がそれぞれ４つずつ設けられる形態を説明したが、係止部材６の数量や大きさ等に合わせて自由に設計してもよい。 In this embodiment, the first folder member 51 and the second folder member 56 are provided with four cylindrical portions 53, 53, ... and four convex portions 58, 58, ..., respectively. It may be freely designed according to the number, size, etc. of the locking member 6 .

図４（ａ）に示されるように、第１フォルダ部材５１と第２フォルダ部材５６が連結された際には、第１フォルダ部材５１と第２フォルダ部材５６との間に係止部材６，６，…が挟持される（１つのみ図示）。 As shown in FIG. 4A, when the first folder member 51 and the second folder member 56 are connected, the locking members 6 and 6 are placed between the first folder member 51 and the second folder member 56. 6, . . . are clamped (only one is shown).

図４（特に図４（ｃ））に示されるように、係止部材６は、軸方向から見て略弧状を成し、略弧状の複数の爪部６１，６１，…（本実施例では３つ）が並列して内径側に形成された基部６０と、基部６０の周方向の略中央において該基部６０の外周縁における先端部から軸方向に突出する鍔部７（介設体）と、から構成されている。この係止部材６は、ダクタイル鋳鉄製あるいは、その他の金属製、または樹脂製であり、鍔部７は、基部６０と一体形成されている。すなわち本実施例では、係止部材６と介設体である鍔部７とは、一体形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 4 (particularly, FIG. 4(c)), the locking member 6 has a substantially arc shape when viewed from the axial direction, and includes a plurality of substantially arc-shaped claw portions 61, 61, . 3) are formed in parallel on the inner diameter side, and a collar portion 7 (interposed body) protruding axially from the distal end portion of the outer peripheral edge of the base portion 60 at substantially the center in the circumferential direction of the base portion 60. , consists of The locking member 6 is made of ductile cast iron, other metals, or resin, and the collar portion 7 is integrally formed with the base portion 60 . That is, in this embodiment, the locking member 6 and the flange portion 7 as an interposed body are integrally formed.

基部６０の外周縁における後端部には、鍔部７の反対方向に向けて先細りする第１テーパ面６２が設けられている。また、基部６０における先端側の側面（第１フォルダ部材５１側の端部）には、第１フォルダ部材５１のテーパ面５２ａと略平行となるように傾斜する第２テーパ面６３が設けられている。 A rear end portion of the outer peripheral edge of the base portion 60 is provided with a first tapered surface 62 that tapers in the direction opposite to the flange portion 7 . In addition, a second tapered surface 63 that is inclined so as to be substantially parallel to the tapered surface 52a of the first folder member 51 is provided on the side surface of the base portion 60 on the tip side (end portion on the side of the first folder member 51). there is

図４（ｂ）に示されるように、係止部材６が第１フォルダ部材５１と第２フォルダ部材５６との間に挟持された状態にあっては、係止部材６と一体に形成された鍔部７が切欠き部５５に挿入されて係止されている。すなわち、係止部材６は、第１フォルダ部材５１と第２フォルダ部材５６との間に落下が規制された状態で保持される。 As shown in FIG. 4(b), when the locking member 6 is sandwiched between the first folder member 51 and the second folder member 56, the The collar portion 7 is inserted into the notch portion 55 and locked. That is, the locking member 6 is held between the first folder member 51 and the second folder member 56 in a state where falling is restricted.

次に、管継手１０により挿口管１と受口管２とを密封状態で接続するまでの一連の流れを図５～図６を用いて詳しく説明する。 Next, a series of steps until the spigot pipe 1 and the socket pipe 2 are connected in a sealed state by the pipe joint 10 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG.

先ず、図５（ａ）に示されるように、挿口管１の挿口部１ａに、フォルダユニット５（係止部材６，６，…、第１フォルダ部材５１及び第２フォルダ部材５６）を取付けた押輪３とパッキン４とを外嵌させた状態とする。上記状態にあっては、係止部材６，６，…は、その大部分が押輪３の収容部３０ｂ内に嵌合されており、係止部材６，６，…における後端側の一部と第２フォルダ部材５６とは、テーパ部３０ｃ内に収容されている。詳しくは、各係止部材６と一体の各鍔部７の外周面は、収容部３０ｂ（溝部３０ｇ）の内周面に近接するとともに、各係止部材６における第１テーパ面６２とテーパ部３０ｃにおけるテーパ面３０ｅとが当接するようになる。すなわち、挿口部１ａにフォルダユニット５を外嵌した際には、各係止部材６が押輪３の収容部３０ｂ及びテーパ部３０ｃ側に寄って配置されるため、各係止部材６の爪部６１，６１，…が挿口部１ａの外周面１ｂに接触せずに離間するように配置されている。 First, as shown in FIG. 5(a), the folder unit 5 (locking members 6, 6, . The attached push ring 3 and packing 4 are fitted together. In the above state, most of the locking members 6, 6, . . . and the second folder member 56 are accommodated in the tapered portion 30c. More specifically, the outer peripheral surface of each collar portion 7 integrated with each locking member 6 is close to the inner peripheral surface of the housing portion 30b (groove portion 30g), and the first tapered surface 62 and the tapered portion of each locking member 6 are adjacent to each other. The tapered surface 30e of 30c comes into contact with the tapered surface 30e. That is, when the folder unit 5 is fitted to the insertion opening 1a, the locking members 6 are arranged closer to the accommodating portion 30b and the tapered portion 30c of the pressing ring 3, so that the claws of the locking members 6 are displaced. The portions 61, 61, .

尚、係止部材６，６，…は、第１フォルダ部材５１及び第２フォルダ部材５６に保持された状態で押輪３内に取付けられるため、押輪３への取付け作業時に係止部材６，６，…が落下することが防止され作業性が高くなっている。 . are attached in the push ring 3 while being held by the first folder member 51 and the second folder member 56. Therefore, when the engaging members 6, 6, . . , … are prevented from falling and workability is improved.

次いで、押輪３の貫通孔３８と、受口部２０の貫通孔２８の軸を合わせ、Ｔ頭ボルト８０を貫通孔３８と貫通孔２８とに挿通した状態でナット８５をＴ頭ボルト８０の軸部先端に仮止めする。 Next, the through hole 38 of the press ring 3 and the through hole 28 of the socket portion 20 are aligned with each other, and the T-head bolt 80 is inserted into the through holes 38 and 28, and the nut 85 is attached to the axis of the T-head bolt 80. Temporarily fasten to the tip of the part.

次いで、図５（ｂ）に示されるように、挿口部１ａを受口部２０内に所定量挿入した後、押輪３、フォルダユニット５、及びパッキン４を受口部２０に近接するように軸方向に移動する。すると、パッキン４の先端部４ａが挿口部１ａの外周面１ｂと受口部２０の内周面との間で圧接される。前述のように、受口部２０には、開口側に拡径するテーパ面２０ｃが形成されているため、受口部２０に挿口部１ａを挿入しやすく、且つ挿入に伴い互いの軸心が一致するように位置決めされる。 Next, as shown in FIG. 5B, after inserting the spigot portion 1a into the socket portion 20 by a predetermined amount, the pressing ring 3, the folder unit 5, and the packing 4 are brought close to the socket portion 20. Move axially. Then, the tip portion 4a of the packing 4 is pressed between the outer peripheral surface 1b of the receptacle portion 1a and the inner peripheral surface of the receptacle portion 20. As shown in FIG. As described above, the receptacle portion 20 is formed with the tapered surface 20c that expands in diameter toward the opening side. are positioned to match.

挿口部１ａを受口部２０に所定距離挿入し、押輪３を受口部２０に近接するように軸方向に移動すると、鍔部７の端面７ａが受口部２０の開口側端面２０ｄ（受口部の端部）に面当接し、係止部材６の受口部２０方向への移動が規制される。尚、鍔部７の端面７ａが受口部２０の開口側端面２０ｄに当接した際には、押輪３と受口部２０のフランジ２５とは挿入代を残して互いに離間しているとともに、第１フォルダ部材５１のテーパ面５２ａと係止部材６の第２テーパ面６３とは互いに接触している。 When the spigot portion 1a is inserted into the socket portion 20 by a predetermined distance and the push ring 3 is moved in the axial direction so as to approach the socket portion 20, the end surface 7a of the flange portion 7 is aligned with the opening side end surface 20d of the socket portion 20 ( (end portion of the receptacle portion), and the movement of the locking member 6 toward the receptacle portion 20 is restricted. When the end surface 7a of the flange portion 7 abuts against the opening-side end surface 20d of the socket portion 20, the pressing ring 3 and the flange 25 of the socket portion 20 are separated from each other with an insertion allowance left. The tapered surface 52a of the first folder member 51 and the second tapered surface 63 of the locking member 6 are in contact with each other.

この鍔部７の端面７ａ及び受口部２０の開口側端面２０ｄは、軸方向に対して直交する方向に立ち上がっているため、鍔部７の端面７ａ及び受口部２０の開口側端面２０ｄが面当接した際には、係止部材６を挿口部１ａに対し傾かせることなく受口部２０方向への移動を規制できる。 Since the end face 7a of the collar portion 7 and the opening side end face 20d of the socket portion 20 rise in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, the end face 7a of the collar portion 7 and the opening side end face 20d of the socket portion 20 When the engaging member 6 is in face contact, movement toward the receptacle portion 20 can be restricted without tilting the engaging member 6 with respect to the receptacle portion 1a.

また、鍔部７は、パッキン４や第１フォルダ部材５１等に比べて強度の高い受口部２０の開口側端面２０ｄに当接するため、係止部材６の受口部２０方向への移動を安定して規制できる。 In addition, since the flange portion 7 abuts on the opening-side end surface 20d of the socket portion 20, which has a higher strength than the packing 4, the first folder member 51, etc., the locking member 6 is prevented from moving toward the socket portion 20. Stable and regulated.

さらに、鍔部７は、係止部材６の周方向の略中央部に設けられているため、鍔部７が受口部２０の開口側端面２０ｄに当接した際に、係止部材６に対して偏った力が働くことを抑制できる。具体的には、鍔部７が受口部２０の開口側端面２０ｄに当接した際に生じる反力を係止部材６全体に略均等に伝えることができるため、係止部材６の周方向の端部側を中心に径方向または軸方向等に回転しようとする偏荷重を抑制できる。 Furthermore, since the flange portion 7 is provided at a substantially central portion in the circumferential direction of the locking member 6 , when the flange portion 7 abuts against the opening-side end face 20 d of the socket portion 20 , the locking member 6 does not move. It is possible to suppress the biased force from acting. Specifically, since the reaction force generated when the flange portion 7 comes into contact with the opening-side end face 20d of the socket portion 20 can be transmitted substantially evenly to the entire locking member 6, the circumferential direction of the locking member 6 can be reduced. It is possible to suppress the unbalanced load that tends to rotate in the radial direction or the axial direction around the end side of the.

また、鍔部７は、押輪３の溝部３０ｇに収容されているため、挿口部１ａの受口部２０への挿入作業時に鍔部７の位置ずれが規制される。すなわち、鍔部７は、押輪３の溝部３０ｇにより案内されるため、鍔部７を受口部２０の開口側端面２０ｄに偏当たりさせることなく、係止部材６の受口部２０側の移動を好適に規制できる。 Further, since the flange portion 7 is accommodated in the groove portion 30g of the pressing ring 3, displacement of the flange portion 7 is restricted when inserting the insertion portion 1a into the socket portion 20. As shown in FIG. That is, since the flange portion 7 is guided by the groove portion 30g of the pressing ring 3, the locking member 6 can be moved toward the socket portion 20 without causing the flange portion 7 to bias against the opening-side end surface 20d of the socket portion 20. can be suitably regulated.

次に、図６（ａ）に示されるように、Ｔ頭ボルト８０とナット８５とを締め付けることで、押輪３を受口部２０側に更に移動させる。前述のように、係止部材６は、鍔部７と受口部２０の開口側端面２０ｄとの面当接により受口部２０側の移動が規制されているため、これに伴い第２フォルダ部材５６は移動せずに係止部材６の後方側に留まる。 Next, as shown in FIG. 6A, by tightening the T-head bolt 80 and the nut 85, the push ring 3 is further moved toward the socket 20 side. As described above, the locking member 6 is restricted from moving toward the socket 20 by the surface contact between the flange 7 and the opening-side end face 20d of the socket 20. Accordingly, the second folder 6 is held in place. The member 56 stays on the rear side of the locking member 6 without moving.

一方、第１フォルダ部材５１は、押輪３の受口部２０側への移動に従って、その環状部５２がパッキン４の底部４ｃを受口部２０側に押し付けるように移動する。これにより、パッキン４の基部４ｂが受口部２０のテーパ面２０ｃ及び挿口部１ａの外周面に圧接され、挿口部１ａと受口部２０との間が密封される。また、第１フォルダ部材５１の環状部５２は、押輪３と受口部２０の開口側端面２０ｄとで挟持されるようになるため、パッキン４による挿口部１ａと受口部２０との密封状態が保持される。 On the other hand, the annular portion 52 of the first folder member 51 moves so as to press the bottom portion 4c of the packing 4 toward the socket portion 20 side as the pressing ring 3 moves toward the socket portion 20 side. As a result, the base portion 4b of the packing 4 is pressed against the tapered surface 20c of the receptacle portion 20 and the outer peripheral surface of the receptacle portion 1a, and the space between the receptacle portion 1a and the receptacle portion 20 is sealed. Further, since the annular portion 52 of the first folder member 51 is sandwiched between the pressing ring 3 and the opening-side end surface 20d of the socket portion 20, the packing 4 seals the socket portion 1a and the socket portion 20. state is preserved.

すなわち、係止部材６よりも受口部２０側に配置される第１フォルダ部材５１のみが受口部２０側に移動し、第２フォルダ部材５６の移動が規制されるため、第１フォルダ部材５１と第２フォルダ部材５６とが相対的に離間するように移動して互いに分離する。詳しくは、第２フォルダ部材５６の凸部５８，５８，…が第１フォルダ部材５１の筒状部５３，５３，…の凹部５３ｃ，５３ｃ，…内で摺動して第１フォルダ部材５１と第２フォルダ部材５６との連結間隔が拡がる。したがって、第１フォルダ部材５１のテーパ面５２ａと係止部材６の第２テーパ面６３とは、軸方向に寸法Ｌ１分離間することとなる。 That is, only the first folder member 51 arranged closer to the socket 20 than the locking member 6 moves toward the socket 20, and the movement of the second folder member 56 is restricted. 51 and the second folder member 56 move away from each other and are separated from each other. Specifically, the projections 58, 58, . . . of the second folder member 56 slide within the recesses 53c, 53c, . The connection interval with the second folder member 56 is widened. Therefore, the tapered surface 52a of the first folder member 51 and the second tapered surface 63 of the locking member 6 are separated from each other by the dimension L1 in the axial direction.

また、係止部材６の受口部２０側の移動が規制された状態で押輪３が受口部２０側に移動すると、係止部材６の第１テーパ面６２と押輪３のテーパ面３０ｅとが摺動するようになり、これにより係止部材６が内径方向に押し付けられるようになる。つまり、押輪３の受口部２０への移動が第１テーパ面６２とテーパ面３０ｅとの摺動により係止部材６を内径方向に押圧する押圧力に変換された結果、係止部材６の爪部６１，６１，…が挿口部１ａの外周面１ｂに食い込むことになる。鍔部７が係止部材６の軸方向の進入を規制した状態で、爪部６１，６１，…の挿口部１ａの外周面１ｂに食い込むため、挿口管１の先端側の端部が受口部３０内周側部に当接して挿入困難になる虞を防ぎながら効果的な食い込みを実現でき、爪部６１，６１，…のうち後端部側の爪部６１に食い込みが集中し、所期の初期状態食い込みを実現する。 Further, when the pressing ring 3 moves toward the receiving portion 20 while the movement of the locking member 6 toward the receiving portion 20 is restricted, the first tapered surface 62 of the locking member 6 and the tapered surface 30e of the pressing ring 3 slides, thereby pressing the locking member 6 radially inward. In other words, the movement of the push ring 3 toward the socket portion 20 is converted into a pressing force that presses the locking member 6 in the radial direction due to the sliding between the first tapered surface 62 and the tapered surface 30e. The claw portions 61, 61, . . . bite into the outer peripheral surface 1b of the insert portion 1a. Since the claws 61, 61, . Effective biting can be achieved while preventing the risk of making insertion difficult due to contact with the inner peripheral side of the receptacle portion 30, and biting concentrates on the claw portion 61 on the rear end side of the claw portions 61, 61, . , to achieve the desired initial state encroachment.

このように、係止部材６の軸方向の進入を規制する鍔部７が、当該係止部材６と、パッキン４及び第１フォルダ部材５１よりも外径側の受口部２０の開口側端面２０ｄとの間に設けられているため、係止部材６及び鍔部７がパッキン４に直接接触することが無い。そのため、第１フォルダ部材５１で保持されるパッキン４による密封性に影響を及ぼすことを防止できるとともに、係止部材６の傾き等を抑制して該係止部材６による所期の離脱防止機能を発揮させることができる。 In this manner, the flange portion 7 that restricts the axial entry of the locking member 6 is positioned between the locking member 6 and the opening side end surface of the receptacle portion 20 on the outer diameter side of the packing 4 and the first folder member 51 . 20d, the locking member 6 and the flange 7 do not come into direct contact with the packing 4. As shown in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the packing 4 held by the first folder member 51 from affecting the sealing performance, and suppress the inclination of the locking member 6 so that the locking member 6 can perform the intended function of preventing detachment. can be demonstrated.

尚、鍔部７は、パッキン４に直接接触することが無いため、鍔部７の形状及び大きさの設計自由度が増し、例えば鍔部７が受口部２０の開口側端面２０ｄに当接する領域を大きくできる。これにより、係止部材６の受口部２０への移動を安定的に規制することができる。 Since the flange portion 7 does not come into direct contact with the packing 4, the degree of freedom in designing the shape and size of the flange portion 7 is increased. area can be increased. As a result, the movement of the locking member 6 to the receptacle portion 20 can be stably restricted.

また、鍔部７は、係止部材６と一体に形成されているため、係止部材６を挿口部１ａの外周面１ｂの所定位置に対し正確に係止させることができる。具体的には、鍔部７は、係止部材６と一体に形成されているため、鍔部７が受口部２０の開口側端面２０ｄに当接した際に生じる反力が係止部材６に対して直接伝わるため、係止部材６を内径方向に押圧する押圧力が分散されることがなく、係止部材６を挿口部１ａの外周面１ｂに正確に係止できる。 In addition, since the flange portion 7 is formed integrally with the locking member 6, the locking member 6 can be accurately locked to a predetermined position on the outer peripheral surface 1b of the insert portion 1a. Specifically, since the collar portion 7 is integrally formed with the locking member 6 , the reaction force generated when the collar portion 7 abuts the opening-side end surface 20 d of the socket portion 20 is applied to the locking member 6 . Since the pressing force that presses the locking member 6 in the radial direction is not dispersed, the locking member 6 can be accurately locked to the outer peripheral surface 1b of the spigot portion 1a.

また、前述のように、係止部材６の傾き等が規制された状態で受口部２０側の移動が規制されているため、係止部材６の爪部６１，６１，…が挿口部１ａの外周面１ｂに対し略均等に食い込むようになる。換言すれば、係止部材６の爪部６１，６１，…が局所的に挿口部１ａの外周面１ｂに食い込むことを抑制できる。 Further, as described above, since the movement of the receiving portion 20 side is restricted in a state in which the inclination of the locking member 6 is restricted, the claw portions 61, 61, . . . It comes to bite into the outer peripheral surface 1b of 1a substantially uniformly. In other words, it is possible to prevent the claw portions 61, 61, . . .

次いで、図６（ｂ）に示されるように、挿口部１ａを受口部２０から離脱する方向に地震等の不測の外力が作用した場合について説明する。この外力により、係止部材６が挿口部１ａと一緒に受口部２０から離れる方向に移動する。具体的には、第１フォルダ部材５１のテーパ面５２ａと係止部材６の第２テーパ面６３とが軸方向に寸法Ｌ１よりも大きな寸法Ｌ２分離間することとなる（Ｌ１＜Ｌ２）。 Next, as shown in FIG. 6(b), a case where an unexpected external force such as an earthquake acts in the direction of separating the spigot portion 1a from the socket portion 20 will be described. This external force causes the locking member 6 to move away from the receptacle 20 together with the receptacle 1a. Specifically, the tapered surface 52a of the first folder member 51 and the second tapered surface 63 of the locking member 6 are axially separated by a dimension L2 larger than the dimension L1 (L1<L2).

このように、係止部材６が挿口部１ａと一緒に受口部２０から離れる方向に移動するため、係止部材６は、押輪３のテーパ面３０ｅによってさらに内径方向へと押圧され、爪部６１が挿口部１ａの外周面１ｂにさらに食い込む。この際、爪部６１は楔効果と後端部側爪部６１を中心とした係止部材６の傾動効果で食い込み、効果的な離脱防止力を発揮するが、前述したように後端部側爪部６１に初期状態で食い込み力が集中しているので、係止部材６の傾動により先端部側爪部６１の食い込みが過度にならず、各爪部６１，６１，…が均等な食い込みを発揮しながらも、管内周面（例えばモルタル層）への影響をも抑えることができる。係止部材６の爪部６１の刃先は、受口部２０側を向くように径方向（軸方向と直交する方向）に対して傾斜しているため、係止部材６は挿口部１ａと受口部２０との離脱方向への楔効果を発揮することができる。 Since the locking member 6 moves away from the socket 20 together with the receptacle 1a in this manner, the locking member 6 is further pushed radially inward by the tapered surface 30e of the push ring 3, and the claws are pressed. The portion 61 further bites into the outer peripheral surface 1b of the insert portion 1a. At this time, the claw portion 61 bites in due to the wedge effect and the tilting effect of the locking member 6 centering on the rear end portion side claw portion 61, and exerts an effective detachment preventing force. Since the biting force is concentrated on the claw portion 61 in the initial state, the tip portion side claw portion 61 does not bite excessively due to the tilting of the locking member 6, and the claw portions 61, 61, . It is possible to suppress the influence on the pipe inner peripheral surface (for example, mortar layer) while exhibiting the effect. Since the cutting edge of the claw portion 61 of the locking member 6 is inclined with respect to the radial direction (the direction perpendicular to the axial direction) so as to face the socket portion 20 side, the locking member 6 is positioned at the insertion portion 1a. A wedge effect in the separating direction from the receptacle portion 20 can be exhibited.

また、挿口部１ａが受口部２０から離脱する方向に移動すると、第２フォルダ部材５６の環状部５７と押輪３の奥端面３０ｆとでシール部材１２が狭圧され、押輪３と挿口部１ａとの間が密封される。さらに上記した係止部材６の移動によっても、第１フォルダ部材５１は移動することなくパッキン４を保持し続けるため、パッキン４の密封性を維持することができる。 Further, when the spigot portion 1a moves in the direction away from the socket portion 20, the sealing member 12 is squeezed between the annular portion 57 of the second folder member 56 and the rear end surface 30f of the pressing ring 3, and the pressing ring 3 and the spigot are pressed together. Between the part 1a is sealed. Furthermore, even when the locking member 6 is moved, the first folder member 51 does not move and continues to hold the packing 4, so that the sealing performance of the packing 4 can be maintained.
