5 CHAPTER Machines use various parts which are joined in several ways for the machine to function as whole. We have learnt about some devices like fasteners (temporary & permanent) and some simple joints to join two rods in the previous chapters. Let us now learn some more miscellaneous joints which are commonly used, viz. (a) TIE-ROD JOINT/TURNBUCKLE (b) FLANGED PIPE JOINT 5.1 TIE-ROD JOINT TIE-ROD AND PIPE JOINTS In our day to day life, we may come across rods/machine parts which are subjected to push and pull and this joints need to be tightened or loosened as in the case of wires of electric poles, cables, a sailboat's standing, rigging wires or even in boxing rings. (b) In electric poles. (a) In cables/ guy wires (c) In boxing rings USE OF TURNBUCKLE Fig.5.1 ENGINEERING GRAPHICS 135
