ABSTRACT:
A separation preventive pipe joint is provided, in which a locking ring is held by an elastic ring with its axis centered in a locking ring receiving groove. An outer peripheral projection is formed on an end portion of the spigot, the outer peripheral projection being engageable with the locking ring from a location deeper than the locking ring. An inner peripheral projection is formed in an inner peripheral portion of the socket which is located deeper than the locking ring receiving groove for backing up the locking ring. A first inner peripheral surface having a larger diameter than the inner peripheral projection is formed in an inner peripheral portion of the socket which is located deeper than the inner peripheral projection. A second inner peripheral surface is formed between the first inner peripheral surface and the inner peripheral projection, the second inner peripheral surface being larger than the inner peripheral projection and smaller than the first inner peripheral surface in diameter.
