<p>Socket connection for a pair of tubular elements, in particular of metal, one of which has a male end and the other of which has a female end accommodating the male end of the one tubular element with radial clearance. The female end of the other tubular element having a terminal portion presenting a radially extending inside shoulder. The socket connection including a sealing and antithrust ring with a foot section positioned within the female end of the other tubular element and supported against said inside shoulder and several retaining elements distributed in circumferential direction around the foot section. The foot section also having an inside edge engaging the outside diameter of the male end of the one tubular member and a head section sealing the annular space between the female end and the male end of the tubular elements. The foot section consisting specifically of an elastomeric material harder than that of the head section. Each retaining element being firmly embedded in a radially extending groove in the foot section and in the assembled condition of the sealing and antithrust ring being directly supported for movement about a pivot axis by the inside wall of the female end of the other tubular member so as to be pivotable and presenting at least two inside edges intended to engage the outside diameter of the male end of the one tubular member which are spaced differently from the pivot axis axially and radially of the tubular members, depending upon the permissible diameter tolerance of the male end of the one tubular member.</p> |
