Abstract (en)

A moisture seal comprising an operating sleeve (50) circumposed about a plurality of arcuate threaded coupling segments (30) so assembled within the sleeve to form a closed coupling sleeve, the segments and operating sleeve having mating tapered surfaces (34, 54) and the arcuate segments (30) each having angularly spaced longitudinally extending sidewalls (35, 37), a spring (42) biasing the operating sleeve (50) so that mating surfaces (34, 54) and sidewalls of adjacent segments are contacting in a first position for sealing and allowing the operating sleeve to move rearwardly due to an external force and the segments (30) to move radially outward relative to an interior wall (52) of the operating sleeve for uncoupling, the segments being of a rigid material.
