Abstract:
A segmented pipe coupling is disclosed which includes a successive series of circumferentially discontinuous teeth which extend radially inward along the interior arcuate surface of the coupling and are intended to securely engage a plain ended pipe without cutting into the pipe exterior. The teeth are preferably formed by superimposed multi-lead right hand and left hand threads along the inner arcuate portion of the segmented pipe coupling.
