CONNECTION DEVICE FOR TUBULAR ELEMENTS

摘要

An assembly of two profiled elements that each have a medial longitudinal edge and two longitudinal edges which are joined together by their medial edge and are kept movable apart from one another through a predefined limited travel. A cylindrical orifice passes perpendicularly through the medial longitudinal edge and a cylindrical element having dimensions that match the cylindrical orifice butts against the medial longitudinal edge such that the spacing of the medial edges causes the longitudinal edges to butt against the inner wall of the tubular element. A further embodiment is a connection kit for tubular elements and a tubular structure joined together by way of connection devices. The connection produced is either reversible or permanent.

1. A connection device for tubular elements comprising:
an assembly of two profiled elements each comprising one medial edge and two longitudinal edges; the first and second profiled elements being joined together by their medial edges, at at least one of their respective ends, by means of a connecting part configured so as to keep the median edges movably spaced apart from one another along a limited travel (C) defining the maximum distance between the medial edges; the first profiled element comprising one cylindrical orifice passing perpendicularly through said medial edge; a single cylindrical element, having dimensions that match the cylindrical orifice and arranged so as to extend beyond the medial edge and abut against the medial edge of the second profiled element; and in which the portion of the one cylindrical element protruding from the medial edge of the first profiled element and abutting on the medial edge of the second profiled element defines a spatial distance between first and second profiled elements such that the longitudinal edges abut against the internal wall of the tubular element.
