View page
US Patent:
20130049354, Feb 28, 2013
Filed:
Aug 22, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/591310
Inventors:
Randy L. Chase - Betlehem PA, US
Douglas R. Dole - Whitehouse Station NJ, US
Wayne M. Biery - Center Valley PA, US
Scott D. Madara - Nazareth PA, US
Ryan D. Kuehner - Kunkletown PA, US
Assignee:
Victaulic Company - Easton PA
International Classification:
F16L 27/12
F16L 55/00
US Classification:
285 93, 2851451
Abstract:
An expansion joint is used to accommodate changes in length of above-ground pipe lines due to thermal expansion. A tube is surrounded by a ring attached to a sleeve. One end of the tube is attached to a pipe of the pipeline, one end of the sleeve is attached to another pipe of the pipe line. The tube and the ring and sleeve are movable axially relatively to one another when the pipe line expands or contracts linearly. A seal between the ring and the tube ensures fluid tightness of the joint.

US Patent:
20090243289, Oct 1, 2009
Filed:
Jun 12, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/483458
Inventors:
Scott D. Madara - Nazareth PA, US
Wayne M. Biery - Center Valley PA, US
John W. Pierce - Nazareth PA, US
Douglas R. Dole - Whitehouse Station NJ, US
Vance W. Henry - Easton PA, US
Assignee:
Victaulic Company - Easton PA
International Classification:
F16L 19/06
US Classification:
285341
Abstract:
Mechanical pipe couplings for joining large diameter pipe elements in end to end relation have arcuate keys which engage circumferential grooves in the pipe elements and radially projecting stiffening ribs aligned with the keys. Key surfaces have angular orientations between 5 and 30. At the end of the keys on opposite sides are camming surfaces which are formed by a thinning of the key. The camming surfaces may be concave, convex, or angularly oriented surfaces and serve to guide the keys into grooves when the keys are not directly aligned with the grooves.
