JOINING MEMBER AND METHOD OF JOINING PARTS Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F16B7/04 

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: joining member comprises piping member provided with partially curved wall that has joining edge that defines the joining surface, joining direction perpendicular to the surface of the joint, locking surface partially positioned at least on the wall surface, and at least one locking structure. The locking structure has at least one positive structure made of projecting part or one negative structure made of concave structure provided in the locking surface. The locking structure is made of a locker and is mounted at least from one of the sides of the locking surface. The projecting parts are inclined to the joining direction. The first member has outer and inner projections. According to the second version, the joining member is made of the first member connected with the second members that has characteristics similar to these of the first member. According to the third version, the joining member is made of the first member connected with the second member having characteristics similar to these of the first member. The first and the second members form a container. The method of joining the first member with the second member is proposed.

EFFECT: enhanced reliability.
