A faucet includes a base and a spout. The base is configured to be coupled to a mounting surface. The spout is rotatably coupled to the base. The spout includes a plurality of magnetic joints each including a different number of magnetic members, and a plurality of conduits rotatably coupled to each other by a magnetic joint of the plurality of magnetic joints. The spout extends from the base to a free end configured to discharge a fluid. The plurality of magnetic joints are arranged such that the number of magnetic members on each magnetic joint progressively increases from the free end to the base.

A drip irrigation lateral connector to a feeder pipe, a feeder pipe adapted for mounting those connectors and an irrigation system comprises a feeder pipe with those connectors and drip irrigation laterals that are mounted to those connectors by standard drip irrigation lateral connectors, wherein each of those connectors comprising a bushing and a sleeve element and wherein the sleeve is formed with a multi-armed circumferential array that are adapted for snap mounting of said sleeve into said bushing or disassembly from it by linearly pushing the sleeve towards the bushing or linearly retrieving the sleeve from the bushing while disconnecting the sleeve's multi-armed circumferential array from the bushing.

A blind insert fluid connection module includes a first fluid connector located on a first assembly and a second fluid connector located on a second assembly. The second fluid connector is used to engage the first fluid connector in a first direction to form a fluid channel. The second assembly includes a main body, a guide structure, and a cushioning resilient member. The fastening member is located on the main body. The guide structure is located on the main body, and the second fluid connector is fixed on the guide structure. The cushioning resilient member is connected to the guide structure to provide a buffer displacement of the second fluid connector along the second direction when the first and second fluid connectors are joined, wherein an included angle is formed between the second direction and the first direction.

A cooling element for an electric component, in particular an electric battery of an electric or hybrid vehicle, includes: a pipe for a coolant, having two apertures at two ends of the pipe, and at least one secondary aperture. At least one external connecting pipe fluidically connects to the at least one secondary aperture. The external connecting pipe is connected to the secondary aperture through a quick-coupling.

An adaptable liquid connector structure includes a case, an intermediate member and a liquid connector main body. The case is a hollow frame. The intermediate member is located in the case and includes an opening formed at a front area thereof for mounting the liquid connector main body therein, a locating bore located below the opening, and a plurality of elastic elements mounted on outer sides and a rear side of thereof. The intermediate member is supported by the elastic elements to suspend in the case and the elastic elements absorb assembly tolerance of the adaptable liquid connector structure, such that the liquid connector main body mounted therein is allowed for a positional floating adjustment in and relative to the case upward, downward, leftward and rightward to be smoothly, correctly and securely connected to an adaptor connector.
