<p>The present invention discloses an article (100) for joining concrete piles (1 10) comprising an annular plate which is mounted at one end of the pile (110), having a central opening (108), a front surface and an obverse surface; and an interlocking profile having a plurality of first and second complementary configurations, each configuration is defined in a substantially equal-sized sector and arranged radially in an alternate fashion on the front surface, that the first configuration is a protrusion (101) and the second configuration is a recess (102), wherein the lateral edges (106) of each protrusion (101) carries a horizontally extending groove (104); whereby mating of two identical articles (100), that are each mounted at the ends of two separate piles (110), at the interlocking profiles through registering the protrusions (101) of one article (100) to the recesses (102) of another article (100) leads to the formation of a passageway (107) by two adjacently positioned grooves (104) of two contiguous protrusions (101) of the mated articles (100), the passageway (107) allows interlocking of the mated articles (100) by inserting a pin (105) therethrough.</p> |
