Abstract: A thin plastic tube has at the end a continuous or interrupted inclined plane means which collapses the plastic tube end section over a nipple or another tube end. The plastic tube end section is inserted over the nipple or other tube end to be sealed thereby with a locking ring drawn over the inclined plane means. The locking ring is drawn over the inclined plane surfaces to uniformly collapse the tube end section into engagement with the nipple or other tube end with a sealing force and with the locking sleeve in frictional locked engagement therewith.

Abstract: A thin plastic tube or tube connector has at one end section a continuous or interrupted inclined plane means which collapses the plastic tube end section over a nipple or the end of another tube. The plastic tube end section is inserted over the nipple or other tube end to be sealed therewithin by the end wall engaging an O-ring within the end section and held in position by a locking ring drawn over the inclined plane means. The locking ring is drawn over the inclined plane surfaces to uniformly collapse the tube end section into engagement with the nipple or other tube end with a sealing force and with the locking sleeve in frictional locked engagement therewith.

Abstract: In its preferred embodiment, a quick connector (10) for connecting a male conduit (12) to a female receptacle (14) has a pair of waist segments (60 and 62), a body segment (56), and a pair of leg segments (68). Each of the leg segments (68) are defined by a pair of projecting elements (76) which are at least partially compressible toward one another thereby causing the pair of waist segments (60 and 62) to move toward one another. A confirmer ring (114) is provided on the pair of projecting elements (76). Confirmation that the quick connector (10) is properly locked in place is made when the confirmer ring (114) is fully seated within a portion of the opening (18) of female receptacle (14). An alternate embodiment provides for use of the confirmer ring (114) as an installing tool when connecting the male conduit (12) with the female receptacle (14). An additional alternate embodiment allows usage of the confirmer ring (114) as a tool for installation and decoupling of the male conduit (12) into the female receptacle (14), as well as for confirming the connection.

Abstract: A conduit coupling comprises a male conduit, a mating female member. The male conduit is constrained as part of the conduit leading to the coupling. The male conduit includes a member for limiting the movement of the male conduit within the female member, means for sealing, and a retainer to couple the male conduit to the female member. The female member is defined as an open port, and it is possible to be no more in diameter and depth than a screw-in connection. The connection may be a quick-connect type (in which case a tool is required for disconnection) or a non-quick-connect type (in which case a tool is required for connection and disconnection). The male conduit may either be composed of a substantially non-elastic material such as a metal or a plastic or a substantially elastic material such as a soft plastic or a hard rubber. If composed of an elastic material, the bulged area is formed by use of a rigid liner having a formed bulged area that is inserted into the elastic conduit. Regardless of its material composition, the design of the present invention allows for rotational movement of the male conduit within the female member while restricting axial translation of the conduit within the member.

Abstract: A quick connector (10) has a pair of waist segments (76 and 81), a shoulder segment (163), a body segment (72) with an aperture (156) therein, and a leg segment (78). The leg segment (78) is defined by a pair of projecting elements (163) which are at least partially compressible toward one another thereby causing the pair of waist segments (76 and 81) to move toward one another. Thus, a swivellable connection is made which has the equivalent length and diameter of a convention non-swivellable threaded coupling. The quick connector (10) may be released by hand or a snap ring tool inserted into holes (410).
