摘要： A joint having a male joint member and female joint member with enhanced ease of assembly, in which a raised stop on the male joint member is limited to displacement between a constriction on the female joint member and a locking ring segment, in which the locking ring segment and constriction are separated by an unobstructed traverse region that allows the male joint member to slide axially when under stress without separation from the female joint member, and in which a compressible spacer is installed between the male joint member and female joint member to ensure that the raised stop is installed in an intermediate position between the constriction and the locking ring segment. The compressible spacer withstands forces associated with assembly but allows the joint to compress during extreme events to prevent failure of the joint during extreme events, such as earthquakes, floods, and landslides.

摘要： A joint having a male joint member and female joint member, in which a raised stop on the male joint member is limited to displacement between a constriction on the female joint member and a locking ring segment, and in which the locking ring segment and constriction are separated by an unobstructed traverse region that allows the male joint member to slide axially when under stress without separation from the female joint member. The rounded shape of the groove that accommodates the locking ring segment acts like a universal joint, allowing deflection between the male and female joint members without separation. The female joint member flares on the inside of its distal region to accommodate such deflection. Thus the male and female joint members have a degree of axial and radial flexibility.

摘要翻译： 具有公接头构件和阴接头构件的接头，其中，阳接头构件上的凸起止动件被限制在阴接头构件的收缩部和锁定环段之间的位移，并且锁定环段和收缩部 由无阻碍的横动区隔开，该区域允许阳接头构件在没有与阴接头构件分离的同时在应力下轴向滑动。 容纳锁定环段的凹槽的圆形形状像万向节一样起作用，允许在阳性和阴性接头构件之间不分离地偏转。 雌性关节成员在其远端区域的内侧张开以适应这种偏转。 因此，阳和阴接头构件具有一定程度的轴向和径向柔性，其防止在应力下的分离，例如在诸如地震，洪水和滑坡的地球运动事件期间的分离。
