The present invention may be basically described as a gasket (2) for converting a standard mechanical joint into a restrained mechanical joint without the need for altered configuration of the bell (12), spigot (10), or gland (11) of the joint, and without the need for additional fittings or devices. A standard mechanical joint's bell and gland configuration can be employed to connect a spigot end of one pipe length of the bell end of another pipe length in a restrained relationship, with the restraint based on forces superior to rubber-to-pipe friction. The invention includes forming the gasket to fit within the bell in such a manner that a void, or gutter (63), exists during rest, into which void the gasket compresses, which in turn influences the rotational movement of the segment. The configuration of the gasket influences the timing and extend of rotation throughout the process of securing the gland to the bell.

De manière générale, l'objet de la présente invention peut être décrit comme un joint servant à transformer un raccord mécanique standard en un raccord mécanique encastré, qui ne nécessite pas de modifier la configuration de l'emboîtement, du cordon ou du presse-étoupe du raccordement ni d'utiliser des raccords ou dispositifs supplémentaires. Dans sa réalisation pratique, une configuration standard à emboîtement et cordon peut s'utiliser pour raccorder l'extrémité cordon d'une longueur de tuyau à l'extrémité emboîtement de l'autre longueur de tuyau, l'encastrement étant assuré par des forces supérieures au frottement entre le caoutchouc et le tuyau. Selon une description plus détaillée des modes de réalisation visés, le procédé de l'invention consiste à former un joint devant s'adapter à l'intérieur de l'emboîtement de manière à ce qu'un creux ou un logement se forme au repos, le joint étant comprimé à l'intérieur de ce creux, ce qui a pour effet d'influencer le mouvement rotatif du segment. De cette manière, la configuration du joint influence la durée et le degré de rotation pendant la fixation de l'emboîtement au cordon.
