A connector for connecting elongate members, such as pile sections, in end to end relationship. A female member is fitted to each end of a reinforcing bar in the elongate member. The female member has a first attachment socket 10 at its, in use, inner end, the attachment socket having an internal thread 12 to accommodate the helical protrusions formed on the outer surface of standard reinforcing bars. A further circular cross-section socket 16 is provided at the other end of the female member. Protrusions 18 having a saw tooth configuration project inwardly from the socket walls. The connector includes also an initially separate male member which comprises a hollow cylinder 30 having a short central portion 32 with no protrusions therefrom and sections 34 extending from each end thereof, each having protrusions 36 of a configuration corresponding to the configuration of the protrusions 18 from the socket. <IMAGE> |
