Abstract:
A coupling device for connecting a first fluid line to a second fluid line may include a first connecting piece having a first outer latching contour on its outside and may be connected to at least one of the first fluid line and the first outer latching contour. The coupling device may also include a second connecting piece having a second outer latching contour on its outside and being connected to at least one of the second fluid line and the second outer latching contour. A sleeve may also be provided in which both connecting pieces may be inserted on opposite ends thereof. The sleeve may have inner latching contours on its inner side, the inner latching contours being complementary to the outer latching contours and latching with the outer latching contours when the connecting pieces are inserted. The sleeve may be enclosed by a protective cover.
Abstract:
An open ended cap for a pipe is provided comprising a flexible tubular body wherein one end has an inwardly-extending radial rim extending in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tubular body of the end cap. The tubular body may include a finger grip member extending inwardly from an inner periphery of the rim and connected to a tear strip extending across the rim and downwardly along at least a portion of the tubular body. In another embodiment, the tubular body has an interior wall surface having multiple compressible longitudinal fit beads extending from the interior wall surface and spaced about the circumference of the interior wall surface and which are configured to provide contact with the external surface of a pipe upon being inserted into the end cap. Both a tear strip and longitudinal fit beads may also be provided in combination.
Abstract:
A duct section and system, including a laminated shroud, acting as a secondary duct, for aerospace and other applications, and a method for constructing same. The duct structure incorporates a metallic primary duct tube, with a laminated shroud surrounding the primary duct tube and separated therefrom by an annular gap. The laminated shroud includes a metallic inner layer and a polymeric outer layer. Preferably, the thin metallic layer is a corrosion resistant material such as corrosion resistant stainless steel or titanium. In one embodiment of the invention, the outer polymeric layer is a polyimide material, such as polyimide resin-impregnated fiberglass cloth.
Abstract:
A joint for plumbing using a wedge action, which can easily and rapidly assemble and disassemble a pipe. The joint can maximize tensile stopping power of the product by mounting a stopper in such a manner as to occupy the maximum area, increase sealing effect and convenience in insertion of the pipe by adopting a packing the most suitable for the joint, and prevent introduction of dust from the outside. For this, a spring is designed in such a way that the final round of the spring forms a round, and thereby the present invention maximizes a stopper receiving capacity. In addition, the present invention adopts an X-ring as a packing, and a dust seal is mounted in an inlet in which the pipe is inserted.

Abstract:
A connecting device for a plug-in connection of at least one pipeline having a housing part having at least one receiving opening for the insertion of the pipeline. A clamping ring is arranged in the receiving opening and, in order to lock the pipeline in place, interacts with an inner one of the housing part. The housing part is made in two parts including a base part and an insert part, which is connected to the base part via a snap-in action forming-fitting connection. The insert part has a direct seal for resting on the circumference of the inserted pipeline. The insert part is formed of a first relatively hard and dimensionally stable plastic material, and has a dirt seal consists of a second, relatively soft and elastic plastic material and is molded directly into the first material as a single piece with a cohesive material joint therebetween.
Abstract:
Method and arrangement for providing a coupling device for conduits of pressurized media which consists of (includes) at least two coupling parts (1, 2) that are possible to couple to each other in the shape of a female part and a male part which is insertable into the female part. A locking device is arranged to hold the coupling parts completely coupled in a locking position. The locking device comprises a locking member (11) positioned at one of the coupling parts (2) which in a locking position attaches into a recess (12) in the other coupling part. A sealing member (6) in the locking position achieves sealing between the coupling parts. The other coupling part (1) exhibits a further recess (16) in which the locking member can be brought to locking of the coupling parts (1, 2) in an outer locking position when the two coupling parts are coupled to each other. In the outer locking position there is incomplete sealing with the two coupling parts being locked so that they are prevented from coming apart but are incompletely coupled together and allowed to be brought together to said locking position for the complete coupling of the coupling parts. In the presence of pressurized media, this enables an indication that the outer locking position has been assumed due to the presence of leakage of pressurized media. The leakage is obtained via a leakage groove (20) which is angled towards the radial plane of the coupling parts. The leakage groove can thus be made by means of rotating machining.
Abstract:
A coupling assembly for providing a fluid connection comprising a female connector, a tube, a retainer and a cap. The female connector defines a bore. The bore extends axially inwardly into the connector from an entrance. An annular face is defined in the bore axially inwardly of the entrance. The tube is received within the bore. The tube has an enlarged upset. The retainer is disposed in the bore. The retainer has a member directly contacting the upset and extends to the annular face to retain the tube in the bore. The cap is slidably mounted on the tube and is attached to the female connector. The cap has a protrusion directly contacting the upset.

Abstract:
A coupling assembly comprising a female connector body, a male member, a retainer and a dust barrier. The female connector body defines a bore extending axially inward into the connector body from an entrance. A radial face is defined in the bore axially inward of the entrance. The male member is received within said bore. The male member is formed at the end of a tube and includes a projection extending radially from the tube. The retainer has at least two locking beams extending between the radially extending projection and the radial face to retain the male member in the bore. The locking beams defines a slot between the locking beams. The dust barrier is slidably mounted on the tube. The dust barrier has at least one extension insertable within the slot so as to prevent inadvertent radially inward movement of the locking beams. Wherein upon sliding the dust barrier toward the female connector body, the dust barrier encloses the bore so as to prevent foreign material from entering the coupling assembly.
