Abstract:
1. A resin pipe joint, said resin pipe joint having: a synthetic resin-made joint body formed of a single piece of a fluorine resin, portions of the synthetic resin-made joint body being an external thread, a fitting cylinder, and a projecting portion, an end portion of a synthetic resin-made tube being fittable and attachable to the fitting cylinder; and a synthetic resin-made union nut including: an internal thread which is screwable with said external thread; and a seal pressing portion which is actable on a flaring changing region in a flared portion of said tube, the flaring changing region having diameters that change from a first diameter to a second diameter, the first diameter being an inner diameter of the union nut and the second diameter being an outer diameter of the fitting cylinder, by a screw advancement of said union nut in a direction of an axis of said joint body, the screw advancement being caused by screwing said internal thread to said external thread in a state where said tube is fitted and attached to said fitting cylinder, said flaring changing region being pressed in the direction of the axis by said seal pressing portion to form a sealing portion, wherein said projecting portion is projected in the direction of the axis and integrally formed on an outer peripheral portion of said joint body, and a recess portion is recessed in the direction of the axis to be fittable to the projecting portion and provided in an outer peripheral portion of an end portion in the axial direction of said union nut, and said projecting portion and said recess portion are unfitted from each other by bending said projecting portion from an upright position in the direction of the axis in accordance with fastening rotation of said union nut and fitted to each other by returning said bended projecting portion to the upright position, wherein said projecting portion is formed on an outer peripheral flange of said joint body, said recess portion is formed in said end portion of said union nut on a side where said internal thread is formed, and said projecting portion and said outer peripheral flange are configured to be flexurally deformable in the direction of the axis, a protruding portion is formed on said projecting portion, the protruding portion being protruded toward a radially outward side of an outer peripheral face of said outer peripheral flange, and a protrusion portion is formed at a portion of said union nut which is adjacent to said recess portion in the direction of the axis, the protrusion portion being protruded toward the radially outward side of said union nut, said union nut is made of a fluorine resin, and when the projecting portion is fitted in the recess portion, the outer diameter of the projecting portion in the recess portion is larger than the diameter of the outer peripheral portion of the end portion of the union nut in which the recess portion is formed.
