A method for joining pipes comprising the steps of forming an unadhered pipe assembly comprised of a first pipe having a socket with an inside diameter, where said socket has a mouth that is an open end of the socket, a self-centering bottom and a substantially cylindrical wall with an inlet and an outlet, a second pipe inserted into and abutted against the bottom of the socket of the first pipe, said second pipe having an outside diameter that is less than the inside diameter of the socket, where the difference in diameters defines a gap and extruding an extrudable adhesive through the inlet substantially filing the gap, wherein the adhesive solidifies joining the first and second pipe.

Chemical fusion of non-metallic pipe joints

An improved device for use as a lid with integral handle for attachment to a can, the lid portion having two concentric sets of threads to engage a container having one of two spout diameters, an applicator or swab being adapted to extend from the handle in which it is situated, the extension distance of the swab being adjustable within the handle, the swab being useful as an applicator for applying liquid coatings, solvents, adhesives, or other materials.
