ABSTRACT:
A coupling apparatus specifically designed for an elbow of a fluid distribution system has a pair of rollers which are rotatable about first rotary axes which are movable with respect to the elbow and second rotary axes which move the first rotary axes in an arcuate path. The rollers selectively engage a locking groove of a second pipe section. The locking groove has arcuate portions with a radius equal to that of the rollers.
The rollers are generally moved in unison but are permitted a small range of independent movement to insure locking of both rollers in the locking groove in the event of slight misalignments due to manufacturing tolerances.
