Abstract
Abstract A pipe joint for connecting heterogeneous pipes is disclosed, wherein the one end, which is provided with a metallic male screw, forms a connecting portion with metallic wares, and the other end, which is molded of synthetic resin, constitutes another connecting portion with synthetic resinous goods. A nut-shaped tightener part, which is needed in time of the joint's being screw-connected with metallic pipe, is formed integrally with the metallic material which constitutes the male screw, being exposed high on the external periphery of the pipe joint, while the synthetic resinous material, which forms the synthetic resinous connecting portion, as being extended, is adhered all over the internal periphery of metallic material to be watertightened. The pipe joint is so constructed that the moment of rotation, which is acting on the nut-shaped tightener part, can be directly transmitted to the synthetic resinous material lest exfoliation of the metallic and the synthetic resinous materials should occur on coated surface of both of them when the male screw is to be screw-connected by making the nut-shaped tightener rotate, thereby leading both of them to integrated rotation.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
308 words
A pipe joint for connecting heterogeneous pipes comprising: a metallic pipe connecting portion forming one end of said pipe joint and being externally threaded at one end thereof; a synthetic resinous pipe connecting portion forming the other end of said pipe joint; said metallic pipe connecting portion having a nut-shaped part formed on its outer peripheral surface between the externally threaded one end thereof and the other end thereof to facilitate tightening of said pipe joint, the inside face of metallic material constituting said nut-shaped tightener part exhibiting an out-of-round excavated form; the other end of said metallic pipe connecting portion extending from said nut-shaped tightener part in the opposite direction of said externally threaded one end thereof being substantially tubular in configuration, and the external and internal peripheral surfaces of said substantially tubular configured other end of said metallic pipe connecting portion being provided with a ring-shaped part irregularly configured along the length thereof so as to provide, alternatingly, increasing and decreasing radial dimension thereof along any given line drawn longitudinally along the peripheral surface of said tubular other end; said resinous pipe connecting portion including an integral inner layer completely covering the entire inner surface of said metallic pipe connecting portion extending from said resinous pipe connecting portion in the direction of said metallic pipe connecting portion, and including the inner surfaces of said externally threaded end, the excavated part of said nut-shaped part and the tubular other end of said metallic pipe connecting portion; said resinous pipe connecting portion further embedding said tubular other end of said metallic pipe connecting portion, including the irregularly configured external peripheral surface thereof; and said inner layer of said resinous pipe connecting portion having an inner surface form of substantial roundness throughout the length thereof and of the inner surface of said metallic pipe connecting portion which it covers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
308 words
A pipe joint for connecting heterogeneous pipes comprising: a metallic pipe connecting portion forming one end of said pipe joint and being externally threaded at one end thereof; a synthetic resinous pipe connecting portion forming the other end of said pipe joint; said metallic pipe connecting portion having a nut-shaped part formed on its outer peripheral surface between the externally threaded one end thereof and the other end thereof to facilitate tightening of said pipe joint, the inside face of metallic material constituting said nut-shaped tightener part exhibiting an out-of-round excavated form; the other end of said metallic pipe connecting portion extending from said nut-shaped tightener part in the opposite direction of said externally threaded one end thereof being substantially tubular in configuration, and the external and internal peripheral surfaces of said substantially tubular configured other end of said metallic pipe connecting portion being provided with a ring-shaped part irregularly configured along the length thereof so as to provide, alternatingly, increasing and decreasing radial dimension thereof along any given line drawn longitudinally along the peripheral surface of said tubular other end; said resinous pipe connecting portion including an integral inner layer completely covering the entire inner surface of said metallic pipe connecting portion extending from said resinous pipe connecting portion in the direction of said metallic pipe connecting portion, and including the inner surfaces of said externally threaded end, the excavated part of said nut-shaped part and the tubular other end of said metallic pipe connecting portion; said resinous pipe connecting portion further embedding said tubular other end of said metallic pipe connecting portion, including the irregularly configured external peripheral surface thereof; and said inner layer of said resinous pipe connecting portion having an inner surface form of substantial roundness throughout the length thereof and of the inner surface of said metallic pipe connecting portion which it covers.
