연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A universal pipe coupler is disclosed. The coupler has a support ring with an outer surface, a plurality of blades arranged into a blade array surrounding the support ring, each blade having a proximal end and a distal end, and a flexible restraining member moveable between an elongated position and a shortened position. Each blade proximal end is pivotally attached to the outer surface of the support ring. Each blade distal end extends radially away from the ring and is moveable between an open position and a closed position. The restraining member is positioned to slidably engage each blade, whereby when the restraining member is in the elongated position, the blades are movable to the open position and when the restraining member is in the shortened position the blades are drawn to the closed position.

1. A universal pipe coupler comprising: a primary, variable diameter securement assembly having a support ring of diameter Dring having an outer periphery and being constructed and arranged to effect sealable securement to a first pipe having a diameter of between about 0.5 Dring and about 2.0 Dring;a secondary securement assembly constructed and arranged to effect sealable securement to a second pipe;the primary, variable diameter securement assembly further comprising a plurality of blades arranged into a blade array completely surrounding the outer periphery, each blade having a proximal end and a distal end;each blade proximal end pivotally communicating with the outer periphery of the support ring; andeach blade distal end extending radially away from the ring, the blade thereby being moveable between an open position and a closed position;whereby when the blades are moved to the closed position, they are in position to effect sealable securement of the first pipe and whereby the universal pipe coupler effects sealable fluid communication between the first pipe and the second pipe. 2. The universal pipe coupler of claim 1, wherein the secondary securement assembly has a fixed diameter. 3. The universal pipe coupler of claim 2, wherein the second pipe has a diameter about equal to Dring. 4. The universal pipe coupler of claim 1, further having a flexible restraining member moveable between an elongated position and a shortened position, the restraining member being positioned to slidably engage each blade; whereby when the restraining member is in the elongated position, the blades are movable to the open position, and when the restraining member is in the shortened position, the blades are confined to the closed position. 5. A universal pipe coupler comprising: a variable diameter securement assembly having a support ring of diameter Dring having an outer periphery and being constructed and arranged to effect sealable securement to a first pipe having a diameter of between about 0.5 Dring and about 2.0 Dring; anda fixed diameter securement assembly constructed and arranged to effect sealable securement to a second pipe;the variable diameter securement assembly further comprising a plurality of blades arranged into a blade array surrounding the support ring, each blade having a proximal end and a distal end;each blade proximal end being: pivotally attached to the outer periphery of the support ring;each blade distal end extending radially away from the ring, the blade thereby being moveable between an open position and a closed position;each blade further being generally fan shaped and having an inner face, an outer face, a leading edge, and a trailing edge, each blade having its distal end being wider than its proximal end; whereby when the blades are in the closed position, a portion of the inner face of each blade overlaps and is in communicative contact with a portion of the outer face of an adjacent blade;a flexible restraining member moveable between an elongated position and a shortened position, the restraining member being positioned to slidably engage each blade;whereby when the restraining member is in the elongated position, the blades are movable to the open position and when the restraining member is in the shortened position the blades are confined to the closed position;whereby when the blades are moved to the closed position, they are in position to effect sealable securement of the first pipe. 6. The universal pip coupler of claim 5, further comprising: each blade further having a blade mounting extension extending from the proximal end of the blade and curved away from the blade inner face and toward the blade outer face, the blade mounting extension being provided with a blade support tab receiving aperture and being constructed and arranged to facilitate pivoting of the blade on a central support ring blade support tab; andthe central support ring having an inner surface, an outer surface, a top end and a bottom end and having blade support tabs extending from the outer surface of the central support ring;each blade support tab extending through a blade support tab receiving aperture and pivotally engaging the blade on the central support ring. 7. The universal pipe coupler of claim 6, further comprising: the proximal end of the blade further having a pair of shoulders positioned adjacent and on either side of the blade mounting extension;a blade lateral motion restricting tab support ring mounted on the central support ring in cooperative relation to the blade support tabs; the blade lateral motion restricting tab support ring having radially extending, equally spaced blade lateral motion restricting tabs aligned with the spaces between the blade support tabs;the blade lateral motion restricting tabs extending beneath the blade shoulders and positioned to restrict the blades from rotating around the blade support tabs. 8. A universal pipe coupler comprising: a variable diameter securement assembly having a support ring of diameter Dring having an outer periphery and being constructed and arranged to effect sealable securement to a first pipe having a diameter of between about 0.5 Dring and about 2.0 Dring; anda fixed diameter securement assembly constructed and arranged to effect sealable securement to a second pipe;the variable diameter securement assembly further comprising a plurality of blades arranged into a blade array surrounding the support ring, each blade having a proximal end and a distal end;each blade proximal end being pivotally attached to the outer periphery of the support ring;each blade distal end extending radially away from the ring, the blade thereby being moveable between an open position and a closed position;a flexible restraining member moveable between an elongated position and a shortened position, the restraining member being positioned to slidably engage each blade;each blade further being generally fan shaped and having an inner face, an outer face, a leading edge, and a trailing edge, each blade having its distal end being wider than its proximal end; whereby when the blades are in the closed position, a portion of the inner face of each blade overlaps and is in communicative contact with a portion of the outer face of an adjacent blade;each blade further having a blade mounting extension extending from the proximal end of the blade and curved away from the blade inner face and toward the blade outer face, the blade mounting extension being provided with a blade support tab receiving aperture and being constructed and arranged to facilitate pivoting of the blade on a central support ring blade support tab; andthe central support ring having an inner surface, an outer surface, a top end and a bottom end and having blade support tabs extending from the outer surface of the central support ring;each blade support tab extending through a blade support tab receiving aperture and pivotally engaging the blade on the central support ring;the proximal end of the blade further having a pair of shoulders positioned adjacent and on either side of the blade mounting extension; anda blade lateral motion restricting tab support ring mounted on the central support ring in cooperative relation to the blade support tabs; the blade lateral motion restricting, tab support ring having radially extending, equally spaced blade lateral motion restricting tabs aligned with the spaces between the blade support tabs;whereby when the restraining member is in the elongated position, the blades are movable to the open position and when the restraining member is in the shortened position the blades are confined to the closed position;whereby when the blades are moved to the closed position, they are in position to effect sealable securement of the first pipe.
