COUPLING DEVICE, ASSOCIATED PARTS AND A METHOD OF USE THEREOF

Described herein is a coupling device, associated parts and a method of use thereof. In one aspect, a coupling device is described comprising a sleeve with an inner surface that encloses at least part of at least one elongated element to be coupled; and at least one deformation means fitted with interference between, and causing local deformation about, at least part of the inner surface of the sleeve and/or an adjacent outer surface of the at least one elongated element. A deformation means insertion tool, a coupling sleeve, a deformation means, and a method of coupling at least one element are also described. The described coupling device, associated parts and a method of use offer the ability to couple together different elements in a strong and/or ductile manner, coupling being tuneable as needed to suit the preferred application. The coupling described may overcome art issues associated with bulky size of coupling, in particular, radial protrusion. The coupling may also increase the coupling force therefore increase the load that may be managed across the coupling device. Further, the way the parts are assembled may minimise generation of localised points of stress therefore also increasing the load that may be managed across the coupling device.

A threaded reinforcing bar coupling structure comprises a pair of reinforcing bars and a tubular coupler connecting the pair of reinforcing bars. Each of the reinforcing bars is a deformed reinforcing bar having spiral node portions on an outer periphery of a reinforcing bar main body having a round shaft shape. A cylindrical portion with node portions removed is formed on an end portion of the reinforcing bar, and a male threaded portion is formed on the cylindrical portion. The male threaded portion has hardness or tensile strength greater than that of a remaining portion of the reinforcing bar. The pair of reinforcing bars is connected by the screw tubular coupler that is screwed onto the male threaded portions.
