20200032943 · 2020-01-30 · ·

A restraint system for use in securing temporary flow lines that include multiple pipe sections, each pair of pipe sections connected together with a fitting or coupling such as a hammer joint coupling. The system includes multiple pluralities of endless loop slings connected end to end with a cow hitch or girth hitch knot. Disconnectable fittings (e.g., shackles) are placed every three or more slings so that easy disassembly is afforded in case of leakage or other failure.

FLUID SUPPLY APPARATUS
20200003349 · 2020-01-02 ·

To provide a fluid supply apparatus capable of preventing inconveniences cause by cut of a signal line when a filling hose is separated through an emergency separation pipe joint. The fluid supply apparatus (100: fluid supply apparatus for supplying fluid such as hydrogen gas and gasoline) includes a supply system for transporting fluid such as hydrogen gas and gasoline in a housing main body while measuring flow rate of the fluid; a control mechanism for controlling the supply system; a hose (2) introduced from the supply system and having a nozzle (1) at an end thereof; and a signal line (3) along the hose (2), wherein the signal line (3) is detachable.

Pipe cap with transition fitting
10520124 · 2019-12-31 ·

A pipe cap assembly for a normally-sealed system includes a pipe cap having a base portion. The pipe cap includes a connector portion extending from the base portion. A fluid passage extends through both the base portion and connector portion. A transition cap may be releasably coupled to the connector portion for sealing the fluid passage during normal operation. A transition fitting provides periodic access to the sealed system and includes an access port at one end, and a tubular port and fastener at the other end. The tubular port and fastener releasably couple to the connector portion of the pipe cap to provide access. A drain hose, vent hose, or the like, may be easily coupled to the access port of the transition fitting. A test instrument may be coupled either to the access port or directly to the connector portion.

Coupler door push button release for agricultural vehicle

A locking assembly for a door assembly of an agricultural vehicle includes: an actuator that defines an actuator axis and is linearly movable between a first position and a second position and rotatable about the actuator axis between a first locking orientation and a second locking orientation and includes a pair of locking features; a biaser configured to bias the actuator toward the first position; an energizer configured to bias the actuator toward the first locking orientation when the actuator is in the second locking orientation; and a lock configured to engage a second locking feature when the actuator is in the second locking orientation. Linear movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position while the actuator is in the second locking orientation causes the lock to disengage from the second locking feature so the energizer rotates the actuator towards the first locking orientation.

COUPLING FOR DOUBLE-WALLED HOSES

An arrangement (1, 2) of a coupling (3) and a double-walled tube or hose (4). The double-walled tube or hose (4) includes two coaxially arranged sheaths (5, 6). The coupling (3) includes: a first, inner sleeve (14), surrounding an inner fluid conduit (7) for transfer of a first fluid, wherein the inner fluid conduit (7) is configured to fluidly connect with the fluid conduit (7) formed by the first, inner sheath (14) of the flexible tube or hose (4); a second sleeve (15), surrounding the first, inner sleeve (14); a third sleeve (16), surrounding the second sleeve (15); and a fourth, outer sleeve (17), surrounding the third sleeve (16). The first (14) and the second (15) sleeve form a receiving space (27) for receiving the first, inner sheath (5) of an end (13) of the double-walled flexible tube or hose (4); the third (16) and fourth (17) sleeve form a receiving space (28) for receiving an end (13) of a second, outer sheath (6) of the double-walled flexible tube or hose (4); and the second (15) and third (16) sleeve form an outer fluid conduit (23) for transfer of a second fluid, wherein the outer fluid conduit (23) is configured to fluidly connect with the fluid conduit formed by the clearance (8) between the first, inner (5) and the second, outer sheath (6) of the double-walled flexible tube or hose (4). The fluid connector part (19) of the inner fluid conduit (7) of the coupling (3) and the fluid connector part (25) of the outer fluid conduit (23) of the coupling (3) are displaced from each other in an axial direction of the coupling (3).

Extension tubing strain relief

An integrated vascular access device can include strain relief features to minimize the likelihood of the extension tubing becoming kinked during use. These strain relief features can be configured at both ends of the extension tubing to minimize the likelihood of kinking at the interfaces to the catheter adapter and luer adapter. To provide strain relief at the catheter adapter end of the extension tubing, an interface formed of a flexible material can be aligned with an extension of the catheter adapter into which the extension tubing inserts. The interface can be integrated into a stabilization platform or formed separately from a stabilization platform. To provide strain relief at the luer adapter end of the extension tubing, a flexible spacer can be coupled to a distal end of the adapter and have a distal portion that is positioned around the extension tube.
