Abstract:
A hydraulic fitting is used to fluidly connect hydraulic hoses on opposite sides of a bulkhead (12) of a machine (10). The bulkhead (12) is clamped between a flange (36) of the hydraulic fitting and a nut (65). One set of threads of the hydraulic fitting is split by a flat surface (41) to create a cross section with a key shape that is received in only one orientation through a matched key shaped mounting bore (50) in the bulkhead (12). The key shape interaction prevents the hydraulic fitting from rotating when installed in the bulkhead (12).
Abstract:
A cast-in-place coupling (6) is positioned on concrete forms (2) by detachable attachment means (7, 10). The coupling (6) may have breakaway tabs (7) or may be frictionally engaged to a fitting (10) fastened to a form (2). After concrete is poured the attachment means (7, 10) is separated from the coupling (6) with minimum effort and inconvenience. The coupling (6) itself contains an intumescent which causes the coupling (6) to convert to a firestop under file conditions.
Abstract:

The bearing support internally includes a fluid reservoir with a reservoir tube, a fluid pump with a fluid pump tube, and a fluid coupler coupling the reservoir tube to the fluid pump tube.
Abstract:
A "boltless" locking arrangement for secure attachment of a boss (1) to a fixed structural part (2) is shown. The boss (1) has a central axis (C) and is extending substantially perpendicular to the plane of the structural part (2) when the parts are assembled. The arrangement includes two substantially radially extending, when viewed relative to the central axis (C), action surfaces (A, B) provided in the external surface (1a) of the boss (1), and at least one annular plate configured body (3) made up by individual segments (3a, 3b). The at least one annular plate configured body (3) is at its radially inner, but external portion (3c) designed to co-operate, or engage with, at least one of the respective two action surfaces (A, B), and at its radially outer, but internal portion (3d) and on opposite side, is abutting the fixed structural part (2).
Abstract:
The present application is directed to dielectric isolators for use in aircraft fuel systems to control lightning induced current and allow dissipation of electrostatic charge. The dielectric isolators are configured to have a high enough impedance to limit lightning currents to low levels, but low enough impedance to allow electrostatic charge to dissipate without allowing buildup. Although the dielectric isolators may develop a potential difference across the dielectric length due to the effects of lightning currents and its inherent impedance, they are configured to withstand these induced voltages without dielectric breakdown or performance degradation. In one embodiment, the dielectric isolator includes a tube constructed of a composition including a thermoplastic organic polymer (e.g., PEEK) and carbon nanotubes, and a pair of fittings attached to opposing ends of the tube. In another embodiment, the dielectric isolator includes a tube, an outer annular portion, and an interconnecting web, each constructed from the composition including a thermoplastic organic polymer (e.g., PEEK) and carbon nanotubes. This later embodiment is an integrally formed one-piece structure. The dielectric isolator is capable of exhibiting an electrical resistance from about 105 O to 108 O at an applied potential of greater than 500 volts DC when measured from one fitting to the other fitting.
Abstract:
A fitting is disclosed for covering the vacuum orifice (10) formed in the wall (12) of the swimming pool. The fitting includes a hollow body member (22) connectable to the vacuum orifice (10) and having an opening (24) for receiving a vacuum hose (18). A spring loaded cap is connected to the body member (22) and is designed to seal the orifice when the cap is in the closed position. A safety locking mechanism (50, 52) is provided to prevent the inadvertent opening of the fitting. In the preferred embodiment, the cap further includes a lug (60) for engaging a vacuum hose (18) to enhance the connection between the hose (18) and the fitting.
