Definitions
- the present invention is directed to pipe used in a variety of industrial and commercial settings. More specifically, the present invention is directed to length of pipe and related methods of assembling and interconnecting pipe having male and female ends, whereby a mechanical connection is established between adjacent lengths of pipe such that a connection point between the adjacent lengths of pipe has a flush engagement arrangement on an outer pipe wall of each adjacent length of pipe.
- the lengths of pipe are frequently connected in a variety of commercial and industrial settings.
- the lengths of pipe can be connected to be fluid-tight, while in other instances, the lengths of pipe can act as a connection pathway or "pipe", whereby cables and wiring can be installed, protected and even replaced if necessary.
- these lengths of pipe can be fabricated of suitable metals and alloys such as, for example, carbon or stainless steel or alternatively of polymeric materials such as fiberglass, HDPE (high density polyethylene) or PVC (poly vinyl chloride).
- these individual lengths of pipe can be permanently connected by welding or using adhesives or the lengths of pipe can be assembled using a variety of connecting assemblies that can subsequently be disconnected.
- a pipe design of the present invention improves upon the prior art by providing a connection design that results in a flush arrangement of an outer wall on adjacent lengths of pipe. By avoiding any diameter increase at a connection point, a resulting pipe can be more easily installed and/or positioned via sliding or lifting as an assembled pipe outer wall has a seemingly continuous outer surface with no enlarged or projecting portions that can hinder movement of the assembled pipe.
- a representative pipe of the present invention can comprise a length of pipe formed from a suitable metallic or polymeric material and having opposed male and female ends.
- the female end is dimensioned such that the male end of an adjacent length of pipe is slidably insertable into the female end.
- an exterior surface on each of the adjacent length of pipe arranged so as to define a flush connection such that an assembled exterior surface defines an essentially continuous, planar surface absent any projections or enlargements.
- the female end can include one or more circumferential sealing channels into which a seal member, for example, an o-ring seal is positionable.
- the female end can further comprise a wall bore through a pipe wall that intersects with the internal spline groove.
- the male end can include an exterior spline groove on an exterior of the pipe.
- a spline can be inserted through the wall bore and into a space cooperatively defined by the internal spline groove and the external spline groove.
- the spline can be fully inserted such that the spline circumferentially occupies the space cooperatively defined by the internal spline groove and the external spline groove.
- a tab on the spline can be positioned and reside within the wall bore so as to not project from the continuous, planar surface of the assembled pipe. Should a user wish to disassemble the connected lengths of pipe, the user merely grabs the tab, pulls the spline out the wall bore and then withdraws the male end from the female end.
- a combined pipe wall provides a generally continuous exterior surface due to the flush connection of adjacent male and female ends.
- embodiments of the pipe of the present invention can provide one or more positive feedback elements that indicate when the insertion of the male end into the female end has been fully accomplished.
- the female end can define a flat internal edge or circumferential internal flange, which acts as a positioning element for a corresponding, male end wall on the male end.
- the male end can define a flat external edge, or circumferential external flange, which acts as a positioning element for a corresponding female end wall on the female end.
- the present invention is directed to a method of coupling adjacent lengths of pipe to form a generally continuous exterior surface on a combined pipe.
- the method can comprise a step of positioning a male end of a first length of pipe proximate a female end of a second length of pipe.
- the method can further comprise positioning one or more seal members, for example, o-ring seals within circumferential sealing channel defined within an interior portion of the female end.
- the method can further comprise inserting the male end into the female end such that the seal members created a fluid-tight seal between an interior wall of the female end and an exterior wall of the male end.
- the method further comprises introducing a spline through the wall bore and into a cooperatively defined space defined by the internal and external circumferential spline grooves.
- the spline is circumferentially advanced through the cooperatively defined space.
- a tab on the spline can be positioned within the wall bore when the spline has been fully, circumferentially advanced such that the tab does not project from the continuous, planar surface of the assembled pipe.
- the method can further comprise disassembly the first and second lengths of pipe by grasping the tab and withdrawing the spline from the cooperatively defined space. At that point, the male end can be withdrawn from the female end to complete disassembly of the first and second lengths of pipe.

- FIG. 13 is a detailed side view of the female end of FIG. 12.
- a length of pipe 100 can comprise a pipe body 102 having a female end 104 and a male end 106.
- Pipe body 102 generally defines a pipe channel 103 that extends continually along a pipe axis 101 between a female opening 105 defined at the female end 104 and a male opening 107 defined at the male end 106.
- Pipe body 102 is generally fabricated of a single material and can be formed of suitable metallic materials such as carbon or stainless steel or polymeric materials including, for example, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), high density polyethylene (HDPE), fiberglass and other suitable polymers.
- the pipe body 102 includes a continuous portion 114 defined between a male insertion portion 116 and a female receiving portion 118.
- the continuous portion 114 has a body wall thickness 108 defined by an outer body surface 110 and inner body surface 112.
- Continuous portion 114 further defines a pipe external diameter 120 and a pipe internal diameter 121.
- Pipe external diameter 120 and pipe internal diameter 121 will generally reflect overall external and internal dimensions when adjacent lengths of the pipe 100 have been successfully connected and are ready for use.
- Male insertion portion 116 is defined between a machined external wall/ insertion flange 122 and the male end 106 and defines an insertion length 123.
- Male insertion portion 116 defines an insertion portion external diameter 124 and an insertion portion internal diameter 126.
- Insertion portion external diameter 124 is reduced as compared to pipe external diameter 120 while the insertion portion internal diameter 126 is essentially equal to the pipe internal diameter 121 such that an insertion wall thickness 127 between a male inner surface 125 and a male outer surface 129 is reduced as compared to body wall thickness 108.
- Male insertion portion 116 includes one or more external circumferential insertion channels 128 and a tapered external wall 130 wherein the insertion portion external diameter 124 shrinks as it approaches the male opening 107. At the male opening 107, the tapered external wall 130 defines a male end wall surface 131.
- Female receiving portion 118 is defined between a machined internal wall/ internal receiving flange 132 and the female 104 and defines a receiving length 133.
- Female receiving portion 118 defines a receiving portion external diameter 134 and a receiving portion internal diameter 136.
- Receiving portion external diameter 134 is essentially equal to the pipe external diameter 120 while the receiving portion internal diameter 136 is larger than the pipe internal diameter 121 such that a receiving wall thickness 138 between a female inner surface 139 and a female outer surface 141 is reduced as compared to body wall thickness 108.
- Female receiving portion 118 includes one or more internal circumferential receiving channels 140 and one or more internal circumferential sealing channels 142.
- Each circumferential receiving channel 140 includes a wall bore 144 that fully extends through the receiving wall thickness 138 such that the circumferential receiving channel 140 is accessible from the female outer surface 141.
- the wall bore 144 for each circumferential receiving channel 140 is radially spaced at a different radial location with respect to the pipe axis 101.
- the female receiving portion 118 defines a female end wall surface 145 at the female opening 105.
- a representative connecting member for example, a spline 150 generally comprises a spline body 152 including an insertion end 154 and a manipulation end 156.
- the spline body 152 can comprise a square or rectangular cross-section 157 defined by a top surface 158, a bottom surface 160 and a pair of side surface 162a, 162b.
- the spline body 152 generally comprises a retention portion 164 having a retention length 166 and a manipulation portion 167.
- Manipulation portion 167 can comprise an angled tab 168 or similar feature that promotes grabbing or coupling.
- Insertion end 154 can define an angled surface 170.
- the spline 150 is generally fabricated of a flexible polymeric material such as, for example, nylon and similar ductile materials.
- adjacent lengths of the pipe 100 are generally positioned in line with one another as shown in FIGS. 9-11 such that the male end 106 of a first pipe 100a is proximate the female end 104 of a second pipe 100b with first and second pipes 100a, 100b each being an individual length of pipe 100.
- an o-ring seal 204 is positioned within each of the one or more circumferential sealing channels 142 at the female end 104 of the second pipe 100b.
- O-ring seal 204 is preferably constructed of a compressible polymeric material and can be selected to be highly compatible with conditions expected to be experienced by the pipe 100 such as, for example, temperature and chemical compatibility.
- the male end 106 of the first pipe 100a is slidingly introduced and inserted into the female opening 105 of the second pipe 100b.
- the male end 106 is fully advanced into the female opening 105 until the male end 106 and more specifically, the male end wall surface 131 comes into contact with the machined internal wall/ internal receiving flange 132.
- the insertion length 123 is fabricated to be equal to the receiving length 133 such that when the male end 106 is fully inserted into the female opening 105, the female end wall surface 145 contacts the machined external wall/insertion flange 122 such that the continuous portion 114 of the first pipe 100a resides against the female receiving portion 118 of the second pipe 100b.
- the connection of the first pipe 100a and the second pipe 100b results in a flush, continuous external surface 300 for the joined first pipe 100a and second pipe 100b.
- insertion of male end 106 into the female end 104 causes the male outer surface 129 to compress the o-ring seal 204 and form a fluid tight seal between the first pipe 100a and second pipe 100b.
- a continuous internal surface 302 is defined as the insertion portion internal diameter 126 equals the pipe internal diameter 121.
- the external circumferential insertion channels 128 on the first pipe 100a will be directly aligned with and in communication with the circumferential receiving channels 140 of the second pipe 100b so as to define one or more combined connector channels 304 with each wall bore 144 now in communication with the corresponding combined connector channel 304.
- the external circumferential insertion channels 128 can include a color different from the pipe body 102 such that the color is visible through the wall bore 144 so as to confirm proper alignment of the external circumferential insertion channels 128 on the first pipe 100a with the circumferential receiving channels 140 on the second pipe 100b.
- a user can then slidably introduce the insertion end 154 of the spline 150 through the wall bore 144 such that the insertion end 154 enters into the combined connector channel 304.
- the manipulation portion 167 the user continues to advance the spline body 152 through the wall bore 144 such that the insertion end 154 is advanced circumferentially through the combined connector channel 304.
- the retention length 166 is preferably selected to equal the circumferential length of the combined connector channel 304.
- the insertion end 154 travels circumferentially around the combined connector channel 304 and approaches the wall bore 144.
- the angled tab 168 can be snapped into and reside with the wall bore 144.
- the square or rectangular cross- section 157 of the spline body 152 matches a combined cross-section 306 of the combined connector channel 304as continually, circumferentially defined by the external circumferential insertion channels 128 on the first pipe 100a and the circumferential receiving channels 140 of the second pipe 100b.
- This method of attachment of the male end 106 to the female end 104 can be repeated for any number of lengths of pipe 100 so as to couple any number of adjacent pipes together.
- a user simply grasps the angled tab 168 by hand or with an appropriate tool and pulls the spline 150 out of the combined connector channel 304.
- a user can simply pull the male end 106 from the corresponding female end 104 to complete disassembly of adjacent lengths of pipe 100.
- another embodiment of pipe 100 can comprise a female end 400 that substantially resembles female end 104 but with additional reinforcement and retention features.
- female end 400 can comprise one or more circumferential exterior grooves 402 having an exterior groove cross-section 404 defined in the female outer surface 141.
- the one or more circumferential exterior grooves 402 are adapted to received a reinforcement band or clamp 406 to provide additional structural support for installations where the integrity of pipe 100 is critical or in question.
- the reinforcement band or clamp 406 seats fully within the exterior grove cross-section 404 so that no portion of the reinforcement band or clamp projects outwardly from the female outer surface 141.
- female end 400 can be fabricated such that the one or more internal circumferential sealing channels 142 defines a dovetailed cross-section 406 to accommodate a similarly shaped seal, for example, a dovetailed o-ring seal 408.
- a recessed section width 410 is greater than a surface width 412 such that the dovetailed o-ring seal 408 essentially snaps into the circumferential sealing channel 142 and is better retained during shipping and/or installation of the pipe 100.
