PIPE COUPLING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240027004 titled 'PIPE COUPLING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a coupling for joining two pipe segments together. The coupling consists of a first coupling segment and a second coupling segment, each having a first end, a second end, an outer surface, and an inner surface. Fastener openings are located on the first and second ends, and the outer surface is contoured in an arched shape that is higher towards the midpoint and lower towards the ends. The outer surface includes a band, a first skirt, and a second skirt on each side of the band. A seal groove is defined on the inner surface between the two outer edges of the first coupling segment, and a seal is placed within the groove.

  • The coupling is designed to connect two pipe segments securely.
  • The first and second coupling segments have fastener openings for attaching them to the pipe segments.
  • The outer surface of the coupling is contoured in an arched shape, providing structural stability.
  • The outer surface includes a band and skirts, which help in sealing and protecting the joint.
  • The seal groove on the inner surface holds a seal, ensuring a tight and leak-proof connection.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Plumbing systems
  • Industrial piping
  • Oil and gas pipelines

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures a secure and leak-proof connection between pipe segments
  • Provides structural stability to the joint
  • Protects the joint from external elements

Benefits of this technology:

  • Easy installation and removal of pipe segments
  • Reduces the risk of leaks and pipe failures
  • Increases the lifespan of the pipe system
  • Provides flexibility in pipe layout and design


Original Abstract Submitted

a coupling for joining a first pipe segment to a second pipe segment that includes a first coupling segment and second coupling segment that has a first end, a second end, an outer surface, and an inner surface. fastener openings are disposed on the first end and the second end, and the outer surface is contoured to define an arched shape that is higher towards an axial midpoint and lower towards the first end and the second end. the outer surface contains a band, a first skirt, and a second skirt on each side of the band. a seal groove is defined on the inner surface between two outer edges of the first coupling segment and a seal is disposed within the seal grove.
