<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily provide a coupling which enables an underground pipe to be connected to a joint part, speedily and with light operating physical force and which ensures durability of use for a long time. SOLUTION: This coupling, designed for connecting an underground pipe 2 to a joint part 1 of a hand hole, a manhole and the like, is provided with a first cylindrical member 4 to be connected to the joint part 1, and a second cylindrical member 5 to be fitted and fixed to the outside of the end of the underground pipe 2. Here, it is made possible to insert and fit the second cylindrical member 5 into the first cylindrical member 4. Also, a ring member 7 is provided inside the first cylindrical member 4 or the second cylindrical member 5 for contacting both members, to prevent them from moving in a fit-release direction after the insertion of the cylindrical member 5 into the cylindrical member 4. The closer are the end parts of the second cylindrical member 5 or the first cylindrical member 4 to be inserted into the ring member 7 are tapered more. At the same time, closer an inclined guiding surface is formed to the inside surface of the ring member 7, the end side further inserted cylindrical member positioned.</p> |
