摘要： A method and apparatus for connecting vessels which have equal or different internal pressures, or which are surrounded by equal or different pressures to permit transport between the connected vessels. An articulating apparatus for connecting vessels which comprises: (a) a first vessel having on one side thereof an orifice; (b) a first rotary bearing and seal associated with the circumference of the orifice; (c) a first hollow wedge shaped segment having first and second sides with a first side thereof rotationally associated with the first rotary bearing and seal; (d) a second rotary bearing and seal associated with the second side of the first hollow wedge-shaped segment; and (e) a second hollow wedge-shaped segment having first and second sides with a first side associated with the second rotary bearing and seal, the second hollow wedge-shaped segment being capable of rotation relative to the first hollow wedge-shaped segment.

摘要： This invention pertains to a novel rotary joint which seeks to equalize exterior-interior pressure. This rotary joint is useful in permitting free rotary motion between two components connected by the joint in conditions where unequal pressures exist at the interior and exterior of the joint. It includes a rotary joint comprising: (a) first annular member means adapted to be connected to the end of a first tube-like object; (b) second annular member means adapted to be connected to the end of a second tube-like object; (c) intermediate member means adapted to be positioned between the first annular member means and the second annular member means and being capable of moving independently of the first and second annular member means, said intermediate member means defining a first chamber between said intermediate member and the first annular member and a second chamber between said intermediate member and said second annular member; (d) first sealing means associated with the first annular member means and the intermediate member means and adapted to seal the first chamber from the interior and exterior of the joint; (e) second sealing means associated with the second annular member means and the intermediate member means and adapted to seal the second chamber from the interior and exterior of the joint; and, (f) resilient valve means adapted to enable pressure in the first chamber and pressure in the second chamber to seek to equalize when the respective pressures are unequal.
