Pipe coupling with inbuilt anti-vibration mountings - has large elastomeric sealing rings fitted over end fitting shanks to provide required flexibility

摘要

A pipe coupling which also acts as an anti-vibration mounting has a cylindrical centre section (8). Recesses on both sides of the end wall receive elastomeric sealing rings (13, 14) which fit over the shank of the end fitting (2) and are secured by a washer (6) and the spun over edge of the end of the fitting. The other fitting (1) is secured in a similar manner to the collar (9) and washer (10). The elastomeric sealing rings provide a simpler way of vibration isolation than metallic bellows.
