Corrugated pipe arrangement
Corrugated pipe arrangement
The invention relates to a corrugated pipe arrangement with a first preferably cylindrical pipe body, a second preferably cylindrical pipe body, and a connecting portion including first and second connecting parts respectively associated with one of the pipe bodies, whereby one connecting part includes an engagement extent and the other connecting part a holding region for holding the engagement extent in a holding position in which the pipe bodies are connected to one another.
It is known in the art to connect corrugated pipes end to end by way of adapters or the like. Such connection requirements can occur, for example, when corrugated pipes of different materials are to be connected to one another. Furthermore, such needs can arise when corrugated pipes must be connected to one another to bridge large lengths or distances which cannot be achieved with individual corrugated pipe units.
It can also occur that long corrugated pipes are to be connected to components, for example switch gear cabinets, machine sections, or the like.
Conventional technologies, which also included the insertion of unions or the like, leave a lot to be desired with respect to the simplicity of installation, the multitude of parts and, correspondingly, also cost. The sealing of known systems is also relatively unreliable.
It is therefore an object of the present plastic boxes to provide a plastic corrugated pipe arrangement, which enables a reliable sealed connection with simple means. It is furthermore an object in accordance with the invention to provide a more cost efficient connection technology as far as corrugated pipes are concerned. Moreover, the multitude of parts is to be reduced in accordance with the folding boxes.
The advantages in accordance with the stackable plastic containers are based on the structure of the connecting portion which is in two parts, whereby first and second connecting parts are respectively integrally formed with the first and second pipe body and whereby the first connecting part includes an engagement extent, while the second connecting part includes a holding region which especially reversibly holds the engagement extent.
It is also preferred in accordance with thecorrugated pipes to provide one of the connecting parts, or also both, as containers which are to be connected in accordance with the invention.
