Cover secured around a pipe passed through a building for ornamental and leakage-preventing purposes

Abstract

A cover includes a rubber main body, and several clipping elements; the main body has a hollow truncated-cone shaped portion, an annular or square connecting portion around a lower end of the truncated-cone shaped portion, a longitudinal aperture extending from the upper end to an outward edge of the annular portion, and first and second elongate protrusions along those edges thereof that are adjacent to the longitudinal aperture; the first elongate protrusion has an uppermost covering portion capable of closely touching an upper side of the second protrusion; the clipping elements are used to clamp the first and the second elongate protrusions together so as to close the longitudinal aperture after the rubber main body is positioned around a pipe passed through a part of a building to prevent leakage through the joint between the pipe and the part of the building as a best property. Accordingly, it saves not only more labor power but also cost in order to be assembled and installed much easily; it is not necessary therefor to be processed by means of heavy cutting tools or the like, but ordinary ones; on the other hand, it has an artistic appearance with best durability to avoid any damages.

1 . An ornamental and leakage-preventing cover secured around a pipe passed through an object, comprising 
 a rubber main body, the rubber main body having a hollow truncated-cone shaped portion, and an annular or square connecting portion around a lower end of the truncated-cone shaped portion; the annular or square connecting portion having a soft metal plate positioned over it; the main body having an annular wall, which has a gap, between the truncated-cone shaped portion and the annular or square connecting portion; the main body having a longitudinal aperture extending through the gap from an upper end of the truncated-cone shaped portion to an outward edge of the annular connecting portion; the main body being formed with first and second elongate connecting protrusions along those edges thereof that are adjacent to the longitudinal aperture; the first elongate protrusion having a top covering portion extending sideway from an upper end thereof and capable of closely touching an upper side of the second protrusion; and    a plurality of clipping elements clamping the first and the second elongate protrusions together so as to close the longitudinal aperture of the rubber main body.    
   
   
       2 . The ornamental and leakage-preventing cover as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the clipping elements are formed in such a way as to have an “U” shaped section, and each of the clipping elements has hooked insertion portions at tail ends of lateral portions thereof while each of the first and the second elongate connecting protrusions has a lengthways extending trench adjacent to the truncated-cone shaped portion and the annular or square connecting portion on an outward side thereof; the clipping elements being connected to the elongate protrusions with the hooked insertion portions being fitted in the trenches of the elongate protrusions.  
   
   
       3 . The ornamental and leakage-preventing cover as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the first elongate connecting protrusion has a lateral pressing portion extending from the top covering portion thereof to closely touch a lateral side of the second elongate protrusion.  
   
   
       4 . The ornamental and leakage-preventing cover as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first elongate connecting protrusion has a lateral pressing portion extending from the top covering portion thereof to closely touch a lateral side of the second elongate protrusion.  
   
   
       5 . The ornamental and leakage-preventing cover as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion provided with a metal plate can be made in a circular form.  
   
   
       6 . The ornamental and leakage-preventing cover as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion provided with a metal plate can be made in a square form.
