摘要:
A high pressure coupling for hose-like objects in which the nipple structure includes a main portion, a connecting nipple portion extending from the main portion in one direction and a nipple portion extending from the main portion in the opposite direction. A sleeve-like member made from tubular stock is adapted to be securely connected to the nipple structure by crimping, flanging or the like. The nipple portion includes outwardly projecting, rounded-off ribs cooperating with rounded-off grooves in the sleeve-like member so that the hose inserted between the nipple portion and the sleeve-like member is held securely in position after the nipple portion is internally expanded with subsequent reduction of the cylindrical surface of the sleeve-like member. Both the nipple structure as well as the sleeve-like member are made from appropriate stock machined accurately to the required dimensions. Sharp edges provided in the nipple main portion will anchor themselves securely in the crimped or flanged-over end of the sleeve-like member to assure a secure fastening between these two parts.
摘要:
A clamp structure with a clamping band having open ends adapted to be mechanically interconnected by outwardly extending hooks in an inner band portion operable to engage in corresponding apertures provided in an outer band portion; at least one plastically deformable ear is provided in the clamp structure for tightening the clamping band about an object to be fastened by plastic deformation of the ear; a substantially gap-free transition in the circumferential direction from the inner band portion to the ring-like configuration of the clamp structure defined by the clamping band is obtained by the use of a tongue-like extension at the free end of the inner band portion which is operable to engage into a tongue-receiving aperture or channel provided in the outer band portion. In one embodiment, the mechanical connection consists of one suspension hook of tab-like configuration and one or more support hooks realized by cold-deformation and separated from the remaining band material by only a substantially transversely extending cut.
摘要:
A hose clamp with an ear-like structure which is adapted to be selected strengthened to achieve desired holding ability and/or re-tightening forces, as needed. This is achieved in one embodiment by complementary ear-like structures in the overlapping inner and outer band portions with the free ends of the inner and outer band portions connected with the corresponding overlapping, respectively, overlapped band portion. In addition or in the alternative, the ear-like structure is strengthened by external and/or internal strengthening members made of spring steel with predetermined spring characteristics whereby in one particular realization, the strengthening member can be readily installed and disassembled from the ear-like structure by the insertion and removal of pin-like retaining members.
摘要:
A pipe connection in which pipe ends are provided with flared ends within the area of the joint edges, and in which a clamping ring with a U-shaped internal profile in a cross section is adapted to be tightened radially inwardly; the inner end faces of the clamping ring and the flared end faces are inclined toward the pipe axis so that the joining edges are urged toward one another in the tightened condition of the clamping ring; the clamping ring is provided with at least one plastically deformable, lug-shaped ear adapted to be tightened by contraction thereof to thereby establish a permanent connection which can be reopened only by destruction of the clamping ring; the surfaces of the clamping ring which engage with the end faces of the flarings may be further provided with means, e.g., in the form of notches, teeth, serrations or embossments to prevent rotation of the ring relative to the joint edges.
摘要:
A clamp structure with a clamping band having open ends and a mechanical interconnection of the open ends of the band that include at least two outwardly extending hooks in the inner band portion adapted to engage in apertures in the outer band portion; at least one of the hooks is a cold-deformed support hook and another one of the hooks is a generally circumferentially extending combined guide and support hook which has an inclined guide and support surface operable to initially engage with the corresponding aperture in the outer band portion so as to guide the inner and outer band portions toward one another while at the same time absorbing circumferentially directed tightening forces until the cold-deformed support hook becomes effective in also absorbing tightening forces by engagement of its abutment surface with the corresponding aperture.
摘要:
A hospital bed which includes a bed frame consisting of a center bed frame section and of a head bed frame section and foot bed frame section pivotal relative to the center bed frame section; the bed frame is supported relative to a chassis by way of a first intermediate yoke-like frame structure providing pivotal movement in either direction of the bed frame about a single transverse axis; the first intermediate frame structure is pivotally connected with a second intermediate frame structure to provide tilting about a longitudinal axis; the second intermediate frame structure which consists of a parallelogram-linkage system provides for height adjustments of the bed frame and is so constructed and arranged as to permit the bed frame to assume a nearly vertical position with the foot bed frame section at the bottom without interference from the transverse bearer member of the chassis.
摘要:
A coupling with a latching mechanism for holding a nipple inserted into the coupling member in its connected position by engaging with a shoulder surface of the nipple; a safety locking mechanism in the coupling member includes a locking member that is in its operable position before the latching mechanism releases the nipple so that the shoulder surface is securely pressed against the locking member by the back pressure in the line until the back pressure decreases to a safe level; the latching mechanism and safety locking mechanism thereby include each a spring of such strength that the spring of the latching mechanism will overcome the spring of the safety locking mechanism when the back pressure has substantially decreased so as to automatically release the nipple for complete disengagement.
摘要:
Apparatus for clamping the hose of a nipple including a clamp of the type having a band with interengageable barb means and apertures spaced from one another for accommodating maintenance of the band in a clamping position around a hose. A tightening device for accommodating assembly and disassembly of the band around a hose is provided, which tightening device includes a rigid housing having apertures engageable with barbs on the band and a rigid member having teeth for engaging in apertures in the band slidably guidably carried by the rigid housing. A manually rotatable gear wheel is pivotally mounted in the fixed housing and includes gear teeth engageable with gear teeth at the rigid bar such that pivotal movement of the gear wheel forces the rigid bar to move in the circumferential direction with respect to the rigid housing. The rigid housing and rigid bar are constructed so as to be guided for movement with respect to one another along a circular arc corresponding in radius to the radius of the band or hose being clamped. The gear wheel is rigidly attached to a manually operable lever.

A feeler is moved in a defined space at a predetermined level in alternately opposite directions. If the level of particulate material in the space reaches or exceeds the predetermined level, the movement of the feeler encounters resistance which is sensed, and in dependence of which the level of the particulate material in the space is controlled.
