Abstract: A valve assembly (10) for use in the coupling of two members. The first member (12) has an exterior surface (14) and an interior surface (16). The interior surface (16) defines a coupling sleeve (20) and a valve sleeve (22). A fluid passageway (24) is in communication between the coupling sleeve (29) and the valve sleeve (22). A valve (70) is positioned in the valve sleeve (22). The valve (70) is biased toward the fluid passageway (24) by a coiled spring (72). A valve pusher (82) having a first end (84) and a second end (86) is positioned in the coupling sleeve (20) and the fluid passageway (24). The assembly (10) has a second member (92) having an outer surface (94), an inner surface (96) and a terminal portion (98). When the second member (92) is inserted in the coupling sleeve (20), the terminal portion (98) engages the first end (84) of the valve pusher (82) causing the second end (86) of the pusher (82) to engage the valve (70) to unseat the valve (70) to allow unrestricted fluid flow between the first member (12) and the second member (92).

Abstract: A flexible connector (10) for joining lengths of rigid tubing (11, 12) is disclosed. A bell-shaped housing (14) is connected to one length of tubing (12). An elastomeric seal member (16) is received in the housing (14). The seal member (16) includes a pair of diverging flanges (22, 23) and defines a circular groove (20). An insertion member (26) is connected to the other length of tubing (11) and includes a raised portion (27) received in the seal member groove (20) upon insertion in the seal member (16) and in the bell-shaped housing (14). The diverging flanges (22, 23) are compressed toward one another. A wedge member (41) may be used to retard relative rotation between the bell-shaped housing (14) and the insertion member (26).

Abstract: A coupling assembly is disclosed having a female element (10) with a conically shaped transition segment (22) integrally formed between a mating segment (16) and a central segment (20). As a mating segment (17) of a male element (11) is inserted into the female element (10), the conical transition segment (22) serves to guide the mating segment (17) into an engaged position with the central segment (20) of the female element (10).

Abstract: A flexible connector (30) to be used individually or in an assembly of connectors. The connector (30) includes a collar (32) comprised of a wall (34) having a cylindrical inner surface (38). The collar wall (34) defines two opposed openings (40, 42). The connector (30) further includes a link (50) comprised of a link wall (52) having at least one spherically-shaped outer surface (54). The link wall (52) defines at least one open end (60) to allow for the passage of a fluid. The link wall (52) is positioned within one of the opposed openings (40, 42) in spaced relationship to the cylindrical inner surface (38) of the collar wall (34). Bearing means (64, 72) and gasket means (86) are positioned in the space defined by the spaced relationship to allow the link to articulate with respect to the collar (32) and also to seal the space between the outer surface of the link (50) and the inner wall (38) of the collar (32).

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.
