- the annular sealing means can be disposed in an annular groove in the external wall of the first tubular member or the internal wall of the second tubular member. Preferably, however, the annular sealing means is disposed in an annular groove in the external wall of the first tubular member, which groove is axially spaced apart from the circumferential recess and is positioned between the circumferential recess and the lip of the first tubular member.
- tubular member has a free end
- that free end may include another junction according to the present invention or another form of coupling. Examples of other couplings which may be used are described in our copending International applications filed herewith entitled “Connectors” (Agents Ref: P31364PC) and “Connectors” (Agents Ref: P31073PC), the entire disclosure of which are incorporated herein for all purposes.
- the junction may be such that the free end of at least one of the first and second tubular members forms an inner tubular member having an internal wall terminating at its outer end with an outwardly directed abutment, and the junction further comprises:
- an outer tubular member adapted for sliding engagement into the inner tubular members and having an outwardly directed flange that, in use, engages the abutment;
- additional annular sealing means providing a seal between the inner and outer tubular members; and additional securing means for releasably holding the flange against the abutment.
- junction may be such that the free end of at least one of the first and second tubular members forms an inner tubular member having an outwardly directed flange and the junction further comprises:
- an outer tubular member adapted to receive therein the inner tubular member in sliding engagement and having an internal wall terminating at its outer end with an outwardly directed abutment that, in use, engages the flange;

- Figures 7(a) and 7(b) show an assembled view and an exploded view of a quick dress lock system containing the demountable junction of Figure 1;
- Figure 8 is a partial cut away view of an assembled junction between a pipe and a radiator fitting.
- Figure 9 is an exploded view of another form of coupling which may be used on a free end of either the first or the second tubular member.
- the demountable junction illustrated generally at 1, comprises a valve tail 2 which is received within a stainless steel or low carbon steel body 3 of a pipe connector.
- the valve tail has a first groove 4 for receiving segments 5 of a plastics locating circlip 6 and a second annular groove 7 for receiving an '0' ring 8.
- the body 3 has four slots 9 in its outer wall 10 for receiving the segments on the locating circlip 6, and a shallow annular depression 11 for receiving the circlip itself.
- the steel body 2 has a stepped end region 12, surrounding the slots for receiving a plastics retaining cap 13.
- the interior of the body 3 is adapted to receive the valve tail 2 which can slide therein until it abuts against a shoulder stop 14.
- the demountable junction is assembled by sliding the valve tail 2 telescopically into the body 3 of the connector, whereupon the '0' ring 8 seals between the valve tail 2 and the internal wall of the body 3 of the connector.
- the valve tail 2 is inserted into the body 3 until the lip of the valve tail abuts against the shoulder stop 14.
- the plastics locating circlip 6 is then stretched over the body 3 until the segments 5 can enter the slots 9 in the wall of the body and the groove 4 in the first valve tail 2. To ensure that the circlip
- the retaining cap 13 is pushed over the body until it surrounds and reinforces the circlip 6.
- valve tail 2 In the assembled condition, the valve tail 2 is firmly located in the body 3 against axial movement and the joint is sealed by the '0* ring 8.
- the '0' ring or '0' rings used in the invention may be of any suitable material and may be selected so as to be suitable for a particular application or location.
- the material may be resistant to various kinds of chemical susceptibility or chemical attack.
- FIG. 8 shows an assembled junction between a pipe 116 and a pipe connector 110 for a radiator 112 having a locating pin 114 positioned along the longitudinal axis of the pipe 116 which is received by the connector 110.
- the pipe connector 110 may have an elbow joint configuration, wherein the pipe 116 enters the pipe connector 110 perpendicular to the pipe connector- radiator connection axis.
- the connector may be of a "1" piece configuration, in which there are two collinear pipe connector-radiator connections perpendicular to the pipe entry axis. The latter configuration is used for double- or triple-leaved radiators.
- the pipe connector comprises a hollow tubular socket member 118 having an annular groove 120 in the external wall thereof, said groove 120 having a plurality of slots 122 therethrough; the pipe 116 has two "O" rings 124a and 124b fitted thereto, and an annular groove (not shown) in the external wall thereof; and there is a locating clip 128 having a plurality of lugs 130 is positioned in the annular groove 120 of the tubular member 118, the lugs 130 projecting through the slots 122 thereof to be received in the groove of the pipe 116 when said groove is in register with said slots 122.
- a sleeve 132 which slidingly fits around the connection.
- This means of pipe connection is relatively cheap to manufacture, easy to assemble and disassemble, and permits easy rotation of the pipe connector 110 around the longitudinal axis of the pipe 116 without compromising the effectiveness of the seal provided by the "0" rings 124a and 124b.
- This facility is provided by the lugs 130, which can rotate freely in the annular groove 126 and thereby act as bearings.
- the pipe is also connected to a control valve (not shown) .
- Figure 9 depicts an alternative connector which may be used on a free end of the first or second tubular member. It includes outer and inner tubular members 210, 212, either of which may be formed by a free end of either the first or second tubular members.
- the outer tubular member 210 has an internal cylindrical wall 214 terminating at its outer end with an outwardly directed annular abutment 216.
- the inner tubular member 212 is adapted for sliding engagement into the first tubular member 210 and has an outwardly directed annular flange 218 that, in use, engages the annular abutment 216.
- Annular sealing means 220a, 220b are provided to form a seal between the outer 210 and inner 212 tubular members.
- securing means 222 are provided for releasably holding the flange 218 against the abutment 216.
- the annular sealing means may comprise a resiliently deformable material positioned either in the internal wall of the outer tubular member 210 or in the external wall of the inner tubular member 212.
- the preferred arrangement is shown in Figures 9 wherein the sealing means comprises two '0' rings 220a, 220b, which are retained in annular grooves in the external wall of the inner tubular member 212.
- the outer tubular member 210 has an internal thread 224 and the securing means 222 is an externally threaded nut whose thread 226 matches the thread 224 of the first tubular member 210.
- the outer tubular member 210 could have an external thread 224 and the securing means 222 would then have an internal thread.
- the outer tubular member 210 may be the inlet to a central heating radiator.
- the thread 224 could, instead of the nut 222, receive a conventional threaded pipe connection.
- the inner tubular member is inserted into the first tubular member 212 so that the flange 218 engages the abutment 216, this arrangement being maintained by the securing means 222 which, once in full threaded engagement with the outer tubular member 210, abuts the flange 218.
- Connectors of this type allow rotation of the radiator connection 210 about the longitudinal axis of the tail pipe 212, making the connector compatible with pivoting radiators. This feature is due to the fact that the fit between the securing means 222 and the second tubular member 212 is loose enough to permit rotation of the former against the latter without loss of the seal.
- the connector of an invention may be used as a plug or an airvent or the like.
- Preferred embodiments of the invention are easy and quick to assemble and disassemble, requiring no special tools or consumables.
- the junction can also be moved whilst under fluid pressure.
- the components of the junction can readily be manufactured by inexpensive techniques.
