Abstract:
A connecting assembly for connecting to a fluid conduit in a fluid transfer system includes a ferrule-type connector having a first open end and a second open end. The first open end of the connector is operable to receive a fluid conduit therein. The second open end of the connector is operable to receive a washer and a flexible hose therein. The washer preferably has a concave cross-section and a central aperture receiving the fluid conduit to secure the connector to the fluid conduit when the washer is press-fit in the second open end of the connector and onto the fluid conduit.

Abstract:
A retainer for supporting and locating the fuel filler pipe relative to the fuel tank of a motor vehicle, the retainer having a keyway that cooperates with a bead on the filler pipe to deter axial separation once assembled, attachment of the retainer to the fuel tank pivoting the retainer against the pipe thereby resiliently clamping the pipe to the fuel tank.
Abstract:
A releasable connector for various conduits utilizing a canted locking ring and is provided with canting means in the form of a projection from the locking ring having an aligning finger and intermediate abutting shoulder. A releasable pin assembly is incorporated with a boss or groove on the outside of the housing of the connector to permit release of the locking ring from the conduit. A jamming screw may be used to add additional pressure to cant the locking ring for holding a conduit. The releasable connector may be extensible by use of telescopic parts to repair various lengths of pipe. A funnel shaped skirt may be secured to the releasable connector to guide the connector to cap wild wells.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a waterproof quick coupler which closes a port of a pressure vessel in an air-tight state during a water leakage inspection of a welding portion of the pressure vessel of a compressor. The disclosed quick coupler comprises: an outer body having an opening formed at a distal end portion thereof; an inner body flexibly disposed to be rotatable and linearly movable in the outer body; a cap coupled to the distal end portion of the outer body; and a fixing lever flexibly disposed between the inner body and the cap to clamp and unclamp a port of a pressure vessel when the inner body moves forward and backward, wherein the inner body may be locked in the outer body when moving backward, and may be unlocked from the outer body when the outer body rotates in one direction.
