Abstract: Three-piece metallic jointing elements for plastic pipes or plastic lines are known, in which the pipe is plugged onto a supporting sleeve of the jointing element and is secured with a clamping nut. The known jointing elements consist of metal and are hence expensive and not always resistant to the chemically corrosive nature of the water passing through. On the other hand, if such jointing elements consist exclusively of plastic they do not always provide the necessary sealing. It is intended to create a jointing element for plastic pipes which is cost-effective, sealed and chemically resistant. The invention proposes a jointing element (4, 4a) for pipes (3), in which the pipe (3), which has a plastic surface, is twisted into a sleeve-shaped section (8) with an internal thread (9), the thread (9) pressing or cutting into the plastic surface of the pipe (3) and hence producing a seal between the jointing element (4, 4a) and the pipe (3). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention solves the problem of an effective method of protection from electrochemical and biological corrosion of the underwater part of a ship's hull, for improvement of the surface rugosity and of the resistance factor of the hull and this is accomplished by covering this underwater part of the hull with a protective layer. The method of protection of the underwater part of the hull (2) as the subject of this invention comprises covering the previously painted underwater surface with at least one impermeable layer of the rectangular film patches (5). These patches are fitted on the underlying surface by a layer of adhesive (6) and by mechanical connections in the form of the long, horizontal fastening strips (4).   The protective layer (1) is composed of at least one, best of all pairs of layers of rectangular film patches (5), which are fastened to the underlying surface by layers of adhesive (6) and by fastening strips (4) fitted horizontally with respect to the ship's hull. The edge joints of film patches with the cove of the fastening strip (4) are sealed by a flexible, self-curing compound (7). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electrical connector (10) for interconnecting a pair of circuit members (33, 35) (e.g., circuit module and printed circuit board) which assures highly reliable yet separable connections for these members. The connector includes an electrically insulative (e.g., plastic) carrier (11) which defines an internal opening therein. Bridging this opening are a plurality of individual, resilient contact members (53) which are maintained in a suspended and spaced orientation within the opening by a plurality of pairs of elongated insulative members (e.g., polymer rods). Each of the contacts is thus readily removable from the connector's frame to thus facilitate repair and/or replacement. As described, the connector is capable of providing wiping connections, thus assuring removal of debris or other contaminants from the respective conductive pads for each circuit member. In another embodiment, the connector includes a common carrier (e.g., plastic) having therein a plurality of cylindrical shaped resilient contact members (e.g., silicone) which further include a quantity of conductive (e.g., metallic) particles therein. To assure a wiping form of engagement with the respective conductive pads, each of the terminal ends of each contact member preferably includes a plurality of dendritic, interdigitated members thereon.
