<p>[Technical Problem] The present invention provides a pipe joint coupling apparatus capable of increasing the amount of adjustment available to correct a misalignment between pipe joints when they are coupled together and also capable of achieving space saving. [Solution to Problem] The apparatus includes one pipe joint member 9 having an accommodating groove 27 on its outer peripheral surface, an other pipe joint member 8, a support member 7 that supports the one pipe joint member, and a collar member 31 that clamps the support member in cooperation with a shoulder part provided on the one pipe joint member. The support member has an opening 7a with a diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of the one pipe joint member. The accommodating groove has an elastic member 29 accommodated therein. The support member has an opening edge 7b facing the accommodating groove. The opening edge has one side surface 7c slidably abutting against the shoulder part and the other side surface 7d slidably abutting against an end surface 31a of the collar member. The elastic member allows the one pipe joint member to be displaceable. The groove width of the accommodating groove is greater than the plate thickness of the support member. When the pipe joint members are coupled together, the elastic member depressed by the opening edge of the support member is deformed, thereby allowing the one pipe joint member to be displaced relative to the support member.</p> |
