End-fitting for laminar pipe made of composite material with metal insert is simpler and cheaper than prior art

摘要

A pipe made of laminar composite material with a metal insert has an end-fitting (12) having a shoulder (24) with support sleeve (14). The sleeve (14) is surrounded by a concentric press-fitted outer bush (32) whose proximal end (38) has an inward-directed collar (40) linking the outer bush (32) with the end-fitting (12). The support sleeve (14) outer mantle (26) has a surrounding groove (28) in the vicinity of the shoulder (24). The groove (28) has a projecting elastic ring (30). The inner diameter of the inward-directed collar (40) clears the outer diameter of the ring (30),
