Abstract: An apparatus for coding a first connection partner and a second connection partner of a bayonet lock. The first connection partner has at least two locking arms for locking the connection and is arranged on a fluid line adapter. The second connection partner has a flange ring for guiding through the first locking partner with a number of recesses which corresponds to the number of locking arms for guiding through the locking arms and is arranged on an adapter receiving member. A first locking arm has a different geometry from the other locking arms. A first recess which is associated with the first locking arm has a compatible geometry for positioning the first connection partner and the second connection partner in a predefined position, and the additional recesses have a different geometry which is not compatible with the first locking arm. The apparatus further has a mechanical coding device.

Abstract: A coupling device for a tubular element comprises a hollow body having a housing, a cartridge locked in the housing in a first position, the cartridge then protruding from the hollow body, the cartridge having an outer wall and an inner wall delimiting an inner channel, the inner channel having a first end forming an inlet for receiving the tubular element and a second end provided with an obstacle, an annular seal and a fastening ring disposed in the inner channel in order to secure the tubular element in the inner channel in sealed manner. The coupling device comprises an unlocking system configured to allow, when the tubular element exerts a force against the obstacle, the unlocking of the cartridge and its movement to a second position, in which the cartridge is entirely incorporated in the hollow body.

Abstract: According to the disclosure, a detection apparatus for detecting a coupling state of a connection apparatus having a first and a second element to be connected to one another is provided. It comprises a signal device, wherein the signal device is configured such that the signal device indicates a digital change of state by means of a detection signal, in that an existing signal is deactivated and thus in particular a switch from 1 to 0 (deactivation) occurs or a signal is activated or produced and thus in particular a change from 0 to 1 (activation) occurs when a complete coupling of a first and a second element of a connection apparatus is achieved, so that, due to an omission of the signal or the newly produced signal, the detection signal is produced which indicates whether a final assembly position is achieved.

Abstract: A fitting for a pipe has a cylindrical sleeve and a spigot fitted concentrically within the sleeve. The sleeve is slidable along the spigot in a proximal direction. The sleeve has a gripper ring cavity with a conical bearing surface with a diameter that is smaller at the distal end and a larger at the proximal end. One or more gripper rings fit within the cavity and slidingly engage the bearing surface. The spigot has an outer surface sized to fit within a proximal end of the pipe. The inner surface of the gripper rings and the outer surface of the spigot define an annular space with a first radial width sized to accept insertion of the proximal end of the pipe. When the sleeve is moved with respect to the spigot in the proximal direction toward a sealed position, the rings are inwardly compressed by the bearing surface to grip an outer surface of the pipe. The end of the pipe is drawn into a space between the sleeve and the spigot with radial width smaller than the first radial width.

Abstract: A quick connector comprising a connector body having a collar defining an opening, a verification indicia fixed to the collar, and a sliding locker including a base, and a lock arm. The base can include an armature integrally and immovably joined with it, having a wing extending along and spaced from an outer surface of the collar. The lock arm and wing are all simultaneously moveable in unison when the locker transitions from an unlocked mode, where the base protrudes from the transverse opening and supports the wing to obstruct the verification indicia, thereby inhibiting reading and/or scanning of the verification indicia, to a locked mode, where the base is inserted farther into the opening and supports the wing to allow reading and/or scanning of the first verification indicia to confirm proper installation of the quick connector. A related method of use is provided.
