    Abstract: A connector includes a seat portion and a body portion. The seat portion includes a seat having a first curved surface. The body portion includes a curved body having a second curved surface. A nut portion is screwed to the seat portion, with a flexible portion and washer disposed therebetween. To connect the seat portion and the body portion, the curved body can be inserted through an opening of the nut portion, and the flexible portion and washer. The flexible portion may resist, but not stop, the curved body from being moved therethrough. The curved body may be seated within the seat and configured such that angular and/or rotational adaptation of the seat portion relative to the body portion is permitted. The nut portion can be adjusted to compress the flexible portion such that the curved body is retained in the vicinity of the seat, while still permitting angular and/or rotational adaptation of the seat portion relative to the body portion.

    Abstract: An assembly for connecting a sprinkler to a branch line of a fire suppression system includes a flexible conduit having one end attached to the branch line. The opposite end is attached to the sprinkler. An adapter may be positioned between the conduit and the sprinkler, between the conduit and the branch line, or between the conduit and both the branch line and the sprinkler. The adapter contains a rotating joint which prevents torque from being applied to the conduit. The adapter between the conduit and the sprinkler is received within a bracket. The bracket also receives a cross beam for securing the sprinkler relatively to the branch line.

    Abstract: A biasable connector structure for mixed type of faucet, which can be suitably connected with a water pipe imbedded in a wall in a resilient manner to prevent the faucet seat from being damaged and avoid leaking of water due to improper connection; the connector structure includes a hexagon nut, a spherical connector (or semispherical connector or conic connector), an O-ring, a water sealing gasket and a Z-shaped connecting pipe, whereby when assembled, the spherical connector is first extended through the hexagon nut to be screwed on the faucet seat, and then the hexagon nut is screwed with the Z-shaped connecting pipe with an inner flange of the hexagon nut forcing the spherical connector toward the Z-shaped connecting pipe, a water sealing gasket being disposed between the connecting pipe and the spherical connector, permitting the spherical connector to be biased through an angle without leaking of water.

    Abstract: An eyeball fitting 10 for directing return water into a swimming pool has an eyeball 20 with a smooth and even inside surface 25 curving continuously from an entrance opening 26 to a discharge opening 21 having a sharp edge 22. The curvature of inside surface 25 has a radius that gradually increases as inside surface 25 gradually diminishes in cross-sectional area proceeding from larger diameter entrance opening 26 to smaller diameter discharge edge 22. Fitting 10 includes a seat 30 having a spherical recess 33 to receive a spherical outside surface 24 of eyeball 20, and seat 30 has an internal surface 35 continuously curving at a gradually increasing radius of curvature proceeding from an entrance side toward the spherical recess 33.
