GIB AND COTTER JOINT 128 ROD JOINTS This joint is used to join two rods of square or rectangular in cross section. The end of one rod is forged in the from of a fork or strap. The height of the other rod is increased for compensating the loss of material in making the slot for cotter. The Gib is made up of mild steel and has the same thickness as that of the cotter. the Gib has projections at the top and bottom ends which act like hooks. While connecting two rods the Gib is inserted first and pushed towards the end of the fork and then the cotter is hammered over. The tapering sides of the Gib and the cotter mate with each other, while their outer sides are parallel to each and perpendicular to the common axis of the rods. Hence, when a Gib is used with a cotter, the opposite faces of the slots in the rods are parallel to each other. The Gib acts like a counter part of the socket/strap. The Gib increases the tearing area of the cotter and prevents slackening of the joint besides holding the jaws of the strap or fork from opening wide when the cotter is inserted. The use of Gib and Cotter enables the parallel holes to be used. When Gib is used the taper is provided in the Gib. This joint is useful to fasten connecting rod of a steam engine or marine engine.
