Abstract: Coupling segments (12, 14) having angled end faces (16a, 16b) are provided with stop members (30, 32) at their respective ends which prevent misalignment of the coupling segments (12, 14) during their assembly onto the adjacent ends of pipes or fittings. The stop members (12, 14) being crushed down during final tightening of the coupling to permit further limited lateral movement of the ends of the coupling segment (12, 14), thus to provide a truly ridged coupling in which angling of the axes of the respective pipes or fittings is eliminated.

Abstract translation: 具有成角度的端面（16a，16b）的联接段（12,14）在其各自的端部处设置有止动构件（30,32），其防止联接段（12,14）在其组装过程中的相对端 管道或配件。 在联结器的最终紧固期间，止动构件（12,14）被压下，以允许联接段（12,14）的端部进一步受限制的侧向运动，从而提供真正的脊状联接，其中， 相应的管道或配件被消除。
