Restrained gasket for plastic pipes
10619779 · 2020-04-14 · ·

A gasket for preventing the separation of a pipe joint formed between plastic pipes such as pipes manufactured from PVC. The invention provides an internally restrained pipe joint including a bell with a substantially V-shaped annular groove. The annular groove includes a front radial wall and a rear radial wall and a gasket seated in the annular groove. The gasket includes an inner radial face, an opening defined by the inner radial face and an outer radial face with a front radial section located adjacent to the front radial wall of the annular groove and a rear radial section located adjacent to the rear radial wall of the annular groove. A plurality of toothed, rigid restraining segments is at least partially embedded in the gasket.

Method of manufacturing a two component sealing gasket for plastic pipe

A pipe sealing gasket is shown which is designed to be received within a raceway provided within the female, belled end of a section of plastic pipe which is assembled with a mating male pipe end to form a plastic pipe joint. The gasket is a two-component gasket having a softer, elastomeric portion and a harder, plastic ring portion. A splicing technique is used to form the softer, elastomeric portion with the harder, plastic portion being injection molded over the previously formed elastomeric portion.

PLASTIC PIPE WITH BELL JOINT
20190257459 · 2019-08-22 ·

A pipe made of plastics includes a female end with a bell joint suitable to receive a male end of another pipe and an inner wall with a seat for a gasket suitable to abut an external wall of the male end. When the pipe and other pipe are connected, a joint is formed having a hydraulic seal. The inner wall of the bell joint has at least one closing lip with an annular shape, which extends towards the inside of the bell joint, towards an external front edge of the bell joint, and includes an abutment edge, which adheres to, and tightens with a predefined force, the external wall of the male end. The closing lip is interposed between the external front edge and the seat and forms, with the inner wall, an annular cavity that opens in the direction of the external front edge.
