摘要： A connector for a tire inflation system includes a body with an air inlet receiving pressurized air from an air supply and an air outlet to communicate the pressurized air to at least one tire. The body is to be connected to a rotating wheel component and includes an internal cavity connecting the air inlet to the air outlet. A seal assembly is positioned within the internal cavity. A tube has a first end supported by the seal assembly and a second end that is to be coupled to a non-rotating axle component. The seal assembly and tube are rotatable relative to each other and seal assembly is rotatable relative to the body. The tube communicates pressurized air from the non-rotating axle component to the air inlet to inflate the tire as needed.

摘要： A connecting block includes a first member having a flow header extending from a sealing surface, a planar end face oppositely directed with respect to the sealing surface, and a perimeter wall angularly oriented with respect to the sealing surface. A second member is slidably received within the perimeter wall of the first member and has a flow member receiving bore axially aligned with the flow header. A bonding zone is created by heating both the first and second members until the planar end face and the planar interior face join together to create a physical connection between the first and second members. A material of the second member is corrosively sacrificial with respect to a material of the first member.

摘要： A system for introducing upwardly a flexible member into a tubular fixed structure with a sleeve surrounding the flexible member in the region where the flexible member attaches to the tubular fixed structure. The system comprises means for enabling the flexible member to be drawn upwardly into a bore of the tubular fixed structure, said bore being defined by an inner surface of said tubular structure, clamping means on the sleeve temporarily clamping the sleeve and flexible member together, and release means on the sleeve adapted to automatically release the clamping means when the sleeve attains a fixed disposition with respect to the tubular fixed structure, such as to permit continued movement of the flexible member with respect to the sleeve. The clamping means comprise a plurality of locking dogs attached to and radially moveable with respect to the sleeve between an inner locking position in which they engage with the flexible member, and an outer release position in which they are disengaged from the flexible member. The release means comprises a latch ring disposed on a substantially cylindrical surface so that it may be deflected axially along said surface on contact between the sleeve and tubular fixed structure to permit release of said locking dogs.

摘要： A hydraulic swivel has a case defining a substantially cylindrical interior and a first access port defined in a side thereof, the first access port providing a path for fluid communication between an interior and an exterior of the case. A spool occupies the interior of the case, the spool and the case together defining a first circumferential channel such that the access port is in fluid communication with the channel regardless of the rotational relationship between the case and the spool, and wherein the spool defines a first interior passageway, the first interior passageway having a port connecting to the first circumferential channel. An actuator occupies at least a portion of the first interior channel selectively blocking and enabling fluid communication between the first circumferential channel and the first interior passageway and therefore selectively blocking and enabling fluid communication between the access port and the first interior passageway.

摘要： A hydraulic fluid coupling for attaching two hydraulic hoses that comprises an inline swivel joint to prevent twisting of the hoses. The coupling comprises a first and second coupling portion, with the second coupling portion rotatable relative to the first coupling portion. There are two bearings and a ring shaped piston that slides toward the second bearing in response to fluid pressure inside the coupling. Engagement of the piston with the second bearing urges the second coupling portion towards the first coupling portion, against the action of fluid pressure between the first and second couplings. This reduces the load on the first bearing and transfers some of that load to the second bearing, thereby making it easier to rotate the second coupling portion.

摘要： A dead-shaft roller having a shaft and a roll with a fluid circulation passage therein, and at least two bearings support the roll on the shaft. A rotary union is positioned at at least one end of the roll, possibly both. The rotary union has a rotatable sleeve and a non-rotating sleeve. The rotatable sleeve has a fluid conducting path therein, such that the fluid conducting path is in fluid communication with the fluid circulation passage in the roll. The non-rotating sleeve is positioned adjacent and internal to the rotatable sleeve. The non-rotating sleeve has a first fluid port therein such that the fluid conducting path is in fluid communication with the first fluid port at a first fluid transfer zone. At least two air bearings are present, mounted between the rotatable sleeve and the non-rotating sleeve, such that the air bearings are on opposite sides of the first fluid transfer zone.

The arm portion is pivotably coupled with the elbow portion about a long axis of the elbow portion, with the long axis of the elbow portion and a long axis of the arm portion forming an angle. Also, the shower arm includes a locking mechanism having one or more sets of splines to securely lock the relative position of the arm and elbow portions. The splines may be coupled and decoupled by a variety of mechanisms, including: hydraulic pressure generated by a restrictor plate; a spring forcing the sets of splines together; and a pair of magnets.

摘要： A hose reel swivel (10), comprising a shaft (20) having a fluid passage therein, a swivel housing (22) rotatable about said shaft (20) and a plurality of UHMWPE with fluorocarbon o-ring energized seals (24) located between said shaft (20) and said swivel housing (22). The hose reel swivel (10) allows the user to coil a hose (12) with a reel (14) and store on a paint sprayer (16). This eliminates having to coil a hose by hand, which reduces the time to coil the hose, eliminates hose kinks and stores a coiled hose more compactly and securely. The swivel design provides longer life.
