Abstract: A lockwireless, anti-rotation fitting for connection to a connector. The fitting includes a coupler having a series of circumferential engagement portions disposed about an outer peripheral surface, and a nut receivable coaxially over the outer peripheral surface of the coupler, and which is threadably engageable with the connector. The nut has an opening through which is received the end of a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism end is interferingly engageable with the coupler engagement portions such that with the nut being received coaxially over the coupler outer peripheral surface of the coupler, the nut is threadably engageable with the connector urging the coupler into a sealing engagement with a sealing surface of the connector, and with the coupler being so engaged, the locking mechanism end is interferingly engaged with at least one of the coupler engagement portions delimiting the rotation of the nut relative to the connector.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a releasable quick-connect fitting, comprising an insert having an annular lock groove and an annular release groove in the outer periphery thereof, the release groove having a smaller diameter than the lock groove. A receptacle has a bore for receiving the insert and an annular bore groove is formed in the bore. An annular retainer is mounted in one of the lock and release grooves and movable to the other of the grooves. The insert is movable to a lock position in the receptacle wherein the lock and bore grooves are substantially in radial alignment and the retainer extends into said lock and bore grooves, and movable to a release position in the receptacle wherein the release and bore grooves are substantially in radial alignment and the retainer extends into the release groove. A stop is removably connected to one of the insert and receptacle and engageable with the other, the stop preventing movement of the insert to the release position but enabling movement to the release position when removed.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a quick connect coupling including a tubular socket or receptacle part having an internal groove formed therein, a tubular nipple or insert part having an external groove formed thereon, and a snap ring. The nipple is insertable into the socket and when so inserted the two grooves are radially aligned. The snap ring is mounted in and extends between the two grooves to lock the socket and the nipple in assembled relation. Prior to final assembly, the snap ring is positioned in the socket groove, and in the space within the socket groove and around the snap ring is applied a relatively viscous fluid. This fluid, which may be a grease, holds the snap ring in the desired position in the groove prior to and during assembly, and it also serves as a lubricant on the ring which facilitates the assembly of the parts.The disclosure also describes the method of assembly of the coupling.

Abstract: A coupling comprising an outer socket or receptacle part having an internal opening, and a nipple or insert part which is sized to be inserted into the opening of the receptacle part. The receptacle and insert parts are provided with outer and inner lock ring grooves, respectively, which are substantially aligned in the radial direction when the parts are assembled. A garter spring is located in and extends between the two grooves when the parts are assembled in order to lock the parts together. The groove of one of the two parts has an arcuate surface and the radius of the surface is substantially the same as the radius of the coils of the spring, whereby the arcuate surface supports the coils and retards flattening of the coils. The groove of the other of the two parts has a surface which overlies the spring and holds the spring in place in the grooves even if the spring should break.

Abstract: This disclosure deals with apparatus for and a method of testing a plurality of hydraulic and/or pneumatic systems. Each such system has a hose connected in it and the hose terminates in a valved fitting. All of the fittings are releasably attached to a subassembly which in turn is attached to center member or a manifold. When the systems are to be tested, a test fixture is attached to the center member, such attachment automatically opening the valved fittings. The test fixture also includes valved fittings identical with those connected in the systems. All of the fittings are opened by attachment of the test fixture, and the appropriate tests are then carried out. When the systems are not being tested, the test fixture is removed and a protective cover is applied to the center member in place of the fixture.
