Abstract:
A fluid quick connector (10) adapted to be releasably mounted in a bore in a fluid use component (12). The quick connector includes a housing having a through bore releasably receiving a tubular endform (13). A retainer (60) is mountable in the housing to latch the endform (13) in the housing. A latch member carried on the housing is releasably engagable with a complementary latch receiver in the fluid use component. In one aspect, a latch member is carried on the end of at least one arm extending from the housing. Seal members are mountable in the bore in the fluid use component and retained in place by a top hat mountable in the quick connector housing. The top hat maintains the latch member in engagement with the latch receiver an the fluid use component.

Abstract:
A joint between a fluid connector body (42) and a metal tube (46) carrying a plastic outer layer is formed by spin welding, wherein the portion of the connector body which is configured to receive the tube defines an end surface which engages the outer plastic surface of the mating tube to create a circumferentially continuous seal between the fluid passageway in the connector body and the outside environment. A radially inward extending flange (76) in the connector body extends into the interior passage at a position spaced from an end opening in the connector body which receives the metal tube. The flange acts as an insertion limiter for the metal tube.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a leakage connection for attaching a leakage line to a fuel injector. Said leakage connection comprises a connecting branch (61) which is provided as one-piece with an injector body. The leakage connection also comprises a connection nipple (62) which, with an insert (91), engages inside an opening in the connection branch (61), and comprises an axial securing device (63) that is arranged in the connection branch (61) in an manner which is essentially perpendicular to the connection nipple. In addition, the leakage connector is, in a final position, connected to the connection nipple (62) with positive fit.
Abstract:
A tubing end-piece (10) interconnects a free end (12) of a piece of tubing (14) and a tubing connector or fitting so that a fluid can flow between the tubing (14) and the fitting or connector. The tubing end-piece (10) includes a body member (20) extending along a longitudinal axis with a bore (22) extending longitudinally therethrough. The body member (20) has an elongated body portion (24), a doughnut-shaped head portion (32) and a frustoconically-shape tail portion (40). The body portion (24) has an outer body surface (26) configured in a shape of a frustum that tapers from a first end (28) and towards a second end (30). The doughnut-shaped head portion (32) is connected to the first end (28) of said body portion (24) and extends radially outwardly relative to the longitudinal axis to form in cross section an outer curved surface (34) commencing from the first end (28) and terminating in an outer peripheral edge (36) which defines a first opening (38) into the bore (22). A frustoconically-shaped tail portion (40) is connected to the second end of the body portion (24) and tapers from the second end (30) and towards a second opening (42) into the bore (22). The body member (20) has an inner first surface (44) and an inner second surface (46) defining the bore (22) and has a plurality of splines (54) which are spaced apart from one another and extend longitudinally along and outwardly from the outer body surface (26). The present invention also includes a connector adapted to interconnect a pair of tubing end-pieces so that the fluid can flow between and through the respective pieces of tubing and the pair of tubing connectors, and present a connection which resists snagging when trailed from a portable or fixed source of oxygen gas to an ambulatory patient.
Abstract:
A universal non-threaded pipe connector system for connecting multiple types of conduit, tubing, hose, and pipe comprising a first tubular member (10) for a fluid, at least one raised surface (11) on the tubular member substantially perpendicular to the axis of connection of the first tubular member (10); a second tubular member (13) having an inside diameter larger than the outside diameter of the at least one raised surface (11) on the first tubular member (10) substantially perpendicular to the axis of connection for receiving the first tubular member and the at least one raised surface on the tubular member, at least one seal (14) between the one raised surface (11) on the first tubular member (10) and the second tubular member (13) forming a seal therebetween and a member (18) for controlled compression of the seal (14) between the second tubular member (13) and the at least one raised surface (11) on the first tubular member (10) and for connecting the first and second tubular members.
Abstract:
A coupling assembly having a flange (32), at least one tube (60) and a tube connector. The flange (32) has an outer surface (40) and at least one inner surface (42). The inner surface (42) defines at least one tube receiving opening (44). The inner surface also defines a flange groove (46). A tube connection hole (50) extends through the flange (32) from the outer surface (40) to the inner surface (42). The hole is in communication with the flange groove (46). The tube (60) has an exterior surface (62). A groove (64) is defined by the exterior surface. The tube is inserted in the tube receiving opening (52) of the flange. The tube groove (64) is aligned with the flange groove (46). A tube connector, such as wire (70), is inserted in the tube connector hole (50). The tube connector mates the flange groove (46) and the tube groove (64). This engagement retains the tube (60) in the flange (32) and also allows for movement within the flange.
Abstract:
An improved releasable coupling (31) for a tube (16) is disclosed. The coupling (31) contains a socket with at least four stepped bores. Located within the first bore is a compression means (33) (such as a collar) which has an inner surface inclined to the axis of first bore. A collet is mounted within the compression means (33) and is so configured that, when the collet is caused to move axially outwardly the inclined surface of the compression means (33) causes the jaws of the collet to move radially inwardly. The coupling also contains a tube support (66) located within the body. At least three sealing means are disposed within the second bore (42): a first O-ring (78), a first washer (80), and a second O-ring (82); these sealing means are free to float within the second bore.
