Abstract:
A composite gasket for a rigid pipe connector capable of being inserted into a component provided with a connecting orifice in the form of a cylindrical bore, for connection to said connector, said gasket comprising at least one collar made from elastomeric material, said collar being arranged around an axis, and at least one ring made from rigid material, said ring being of annular shape and being located entirely on one side and in the axial prolongation of the collar, said ring having an axis coinciding with the axis of the collar, and having an outer surface capable of cooperating by soft friction with the inner face of the connecting orifice, said ring being in the form of a cylindrical sleeve having a longitudinal dimension between 1.5 times and 5 times the radial thickness of said ring and having an inner surface capable of cooperating by soft friction with the outer face of the connector directly or via an end part of the collar, said composite gasket being designed to be slipped frictionally on the connector, said collar being fixed to the ring, and having a junction end with the ring of a shape complementary to a corresponding junction end of said ring with said collar, so as to match at least partially the shape of the edge of said collar.
