A housing component includes a line segment of a hydraulic line. The line segment has at least one channel that opens into a widening. The widening extends to outside of the housing component. A spatially limited sealing surface enclosing the channel is provided in the widening. A seal comprising an adhesive is joined to the sealing surface at least adhesively. A method for manufacturing such a housing component includes layered manufacture of the sealing surfaces.

A delivery assembly for a crop input delivery system. The delivery system includes a boom adapted to be supported at a proximal end from a mobile vehicle, the mobile vehicle holding a supply of the crop input, the boom supporting a conduit having a proximal end in fluid communication with the supply of crop input. The delivery system further includes a first coupler and a second coupler. The first coupler is supported on a distal end of the boom and is coupled to the conduit. The second coupler is in fluid communication with a storage tank disposed on the implement, the second coupler configured to fluidly couple with the first coupler. A clamping assembly releasably couples the first and second couplers in fluid engagement.

A collapsible conduit includes an elongated sheet configured as a coil, the coil having a longitudinal axis, the elongated sheet having a first edge that includes a first hem and a second edge opposite the first edge and that includes a second hem, each hem including an overlapping portion that overlaps with the overlapping portion of the other hem, the first hem interlocked with the second hem to form an interlocking arrangement between the first and second edges, wherein the conduit is collapsible along the longitudinal axis between fully extended and collapsed positions, and wherein the overlapping portion of the each hem has an arcuate cross-section shape when the conduit is in both the fully extended and collapsed positions.

A method for erecting or assembling a frame includes the steps of: forming a joint with at least two frame members placed at an angle to one another, each frame members is a metal tube, no coping nor fittings are used to form the joint; welding the frame members together at the joint; wrapping the joint with a saddle, the saddle is a bent flat metal member with at least one hole overlaying each frame member; and fastening the saddle to each frame member by inserting a screw through each hole.

One aspect of the invention provides a system including: a length of energy-dissipative tubing; a first sealing device coupled to a first end of the length of energy-dissipative tubing; and a second sealing device coupled to a second end of the length of energy-dissipative tubing. Exposure to one or more selected from the group consisting of: fault currents or lightning strikes at an exposure point along the length of energy-dissipative tubing will produce arcs at the exposure point and at least one of the first end and the second end.

Disclosed is a union which is capable of self-sealing without a need for additional piping materials and sealing means, as well as being capable of forming a pipe conduit through a simple installation. The union includes a main pipe which has one end that is connected to an adapter installed to introduce or discharge a fluid into equipment to form a pipe conduit; a joint which is able to be idle and provided at one end of the main pipe, and has a screw thread corresponding to a screw thread formed at an end of the adapter to connect one end of the main pipe to the end of the adapter through the screw thread; and a stopper which is inserted and fixed in a stopper groove formed at one end of the main pipe to prevent the joint from being detached from the main pipe.

Structural body comprises a concrete core and a cap around the opening. A first wrap is wrapped under tension around the concrete core and a portion of the cap to form a continuous water resistant barrier around the outer surface of the concrete core. A second wrap can be wrapped under tension around the inner surface of concrete core to form a continuous water resistant barrier around the inner surface of the concrete core. Structural body can be formed as a pipe with a male and female ends to interconnect multiple pipes. The joint formed between two structural bodies has a continuous water resistant barrier that prevents the environment from contacting the concrete core.

A plug unit for connecting capillary tubes includes a plug housing that has an axial borehole, a plug capillary tube that projects through the axial borehole, and a sealing element that surrounds the plug capillary tube. The front end of the plug capillary tube is sealed by an elastic and/or plastic deformation of the sealing element against the capillary tube receptacle opening of a bushing unit. A hollow cylindrical pressure piece is provided that surrounds the sealing element in an axial region facing away from the end surface of the plug capillary tube, and the pressure piece has a rearward end side that faces away from the end surface of the plug capillary tube and that can be loaded by the plug housing with an axial pressure force when the plug unit and bushing unit are connected.

A vacuum joint has a simple structure and thus is capable of connecting and disconnecting vacuum pipes very easily and quickly. A vacuum utilization device includes this vacuum joint. A vacuum joint of the present invention includes: a first coupling member having a tubular shape and adapted to be attached to a connection end of a vacuum pipe; and a second coupling member having a tubular shape and adapted to be attached to a connection end of a vacuum pipe. The first coupling member has an axial front end with a substantially flat contact surface that contains a ferromagnetic material, and the second coupling member has an axial front end with a substantially flat contact surface that contains a ferromagnetic material. At least one of the contact surface of the first coupling member and the contact surface of the second coupling member includes a magnet.

A composite torque pipe to metal fitting joint including concentric inner and outer shells formed with respective smooth annular surfaces projecting distally to form an annulus of a predetermined configuration for receipt of a composite connector ring of the predetermined configuration.
