Water pipe end cap

摘要

A water pipe end cap having a front end and a rear end. The front end has a tapered tip. A flattened head is disposed on the tapered tip. A tapered buttress is also disposed on the tapered tip. The rear end has an elongate cylindrical male piece, a rounded buttress, a tapered heel, and at least one rigidly flexible raised ridge. Each of the rounded buttress, the tapered heel, and the raised ridge are configured to frictionally engage the inner wall surface of the water pipe preventing the water pipe end cap from becoming disengaged. The tapered buttress snugly covers the terminal end of the water pipe preventing dirt and grit from entering. The tapered tip prevents the water pipe from snagging or getting stuck on ribbed conduits. An elongated cylindrical inner cavity is continuously disposed within each of the male piece, the tapered buttress, and the tapered tip.

1. A water pipe end cap comprising:
a front end and a rear end, the front end having a generally frustoconical tapered tip, the tapered tip having a proximal end and a distal end, a flattened head disposed upon the distal end of the tapered tip; a tapered buttress disposed upon the proximal end of the tapered tip; the rear end having an elongate cylindrical male piece, the male piece having a forward end and a rearward end; at least one rigidly flexible raised ridge circumferentially disposed upon the male piece around a longitudinal axis of the male piece, each of the at least one ridge configured to adapt to and frictionally engage an inner wall surface of a water pipe; a tapered heel disposed upon the rearward end of the male piece, the tapered heel configured to frictionally engage an inner wall surface of a water pipe; and an elongated cylindrical inner cavity continuously disposed within each of the male piece, the tapered buttress, and the tapered tip, the inner cavity having an aperture disposed proximal the tapered heel.
