CA 2666548

A fitting for fixedly attaching to pipes and the like includes an inner and outer ring being coaxially provided over a pipe. The inner and outer rings are preferably connected by means of a ratchet mechanism allowing for one way advancement there-between. Advancement of the outer ring over the inner ring radially compresses the latter thereby resulting in swaging of the pipe. The radial compression of the pipe results in the fitting being locked in place and prevents axial movement between the fitting and the pipe. Various apparatus are provided for advancing the outer ring over the inner ring. Coupling assemblies are provided utilizing the fittings for forming joints between abutting pipes.

L'invention concerne un raccord destiné à être fixé solidement à un tuyau ou à un élément similaire, ledit raccord comportant un anneau intérieur et un anneau extérieur placés coaxialement par-dessus le tuyau. Les anneaux intérieur et extérieur sont de préférence solidarisés au moyen d'un mécanisme d'encliquetage permettant leur mouvement d'avance mutuel dans un seul sens. Le mouvement d'avance de l'anneau extérieur par-dessus l'anneau intérieur provoque la compression radiale de ce dernier et donc l'emboutissage du tuyau. La compression radiale du tuyau provoque le verrouillage en place du raccord et bloque le mouvement axial entre le raccord et le tuyau. L'invention concerne également divers appareils permettant de faire avancer l'anneau extérieur par-dessus l'anneau intérieur, ainsi que des ensembles d'accouplement utilisant plusieurs raccords de ce type pour former des joints entre des tuyaux mis bout à bout.
