    Abstract: A quick coupling set includes a socket and a mating plug. The socket has a rotation-restraining structure while the mating plug has a mating rotation-restraining structure. In the coupling of the socket and the mating plug, the rotation-restraining structure of the socket only allow the rotation-restraining structure of the mating plug to relatively rotate in a rotation direction, so as to complete the coupling of the socket and the mating plug. Other plugs which do not match the socket lack of a rotation-restraining structure matching that of the socket, and cannot relatively rotate in the rotation direction with respect to the socket and cannot achieve any coupling with the socket, which results in the socket and the mating plug being protected against misconnection.

    Abstract: An improved quick connector is provided. The quick connector includes an assembly check that is partially received within an input end of a connector body. The assembly check includes a pull tab and a shielding portion. Upon insertion of a male connector within the input end of the connector body, assembly check retracts from the input end of the connector body and can be manually removed via the pull tab. Once removed from the connector body, a machine readable verification indicia can be read. The verification indicia is visible on an underside of the shielding portion or visible on the connector body once the shielding portion is removed.

    Abstract: A connection device for connecting at least one pipe and a base and topped by a collar comprises a connection end piece for fluidly connecting the pipe to the base and a retaining ring for keeping the connection end piece assembled with the base. The connection end piece comprises a tubular body and at least one first retaining element. The retaining ring comprises an annular body provided with a second retaining element engaging with the first retaining element to retain the retaining ring on the connection end piece. The retaining ring also comprises at least one locking tab integral with the annular body in order to grip the collar and keep the retaining ring assembled with the base.

    Abstract: A pipe connector having a body with a tubular part to seal with a pipe. The tubular part has an outer face with a projecting feature to seal with the pipe. A collet is fixed to the body and spaced from the tubular part to form a cavity for the pipe. A locking cap is captive on and screwed onto collet to deflect the collet onto the pipe and the pipe onto the tubular part to seal between the body and the pipe. The collet has through slots at its distal end allowing the pipe to be visible when the connector is locked and unlocked. The inner diameter at an open end of the collet is optionally greater than the inner diameter of the distal part that receives the pipe. A method of forming the connector is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A connector assembly is provided. The connector assembly includes a connector body, a movable component selectively movable between an uninstalled state and an installed state, a digital tag, and a digital blocker. When the movable component is moved from the uninstalled state to the installed state, the digital blocker is moved relative to the digital tag from a position where the digital tag is blocked by the digital blocker to a position where the digital tag is unblocked by the digital blocker, thereby providing a digital indication of a successful connection between the connector body and the movable component.

    Abstract: A connection device has a line portion having, at its end, a radially outwardly projecting abutment flange for abutting against a corresponding abutment flange of a further line portion which is to be coupled to the line portion, and a ring-segment chain comprising a plurality of ring segments connected to one another in a pivotable manner in a common ring plane, wherein the ring-segment ends which form the chain ends can be latched to one another to give a ring-form connection clamp. The line portion is designed in the form of a tubular connection stub with first thread means spaced apart axially from the abutment surface of its abutment flange and in that each ring segment has a radially inwardly projecting clamping flange and second thread means, which are spaced apart axially from said clamping flange and correspond to the first thread means.
