The area of application includes an attachment ring area and a connection area for a gas feed hole for feeding forming gas to a gas-use point by means of a forming gas pipe in the pipe to be welded. The pipe used is sealed against the cylindrical fastening media by one or more flexible seals.

A tube connector comprising a male portion having a male portion thread on an outer surface, a first tube having a first tube surface disposed at a seat angle (θ) of approximately 37° to a tube connector centerline, the male portion having a clearance engagement with the first tube, a nut having a clearance engagement with a second tube, the nut engagable with the male portion thread, the second tube having a second tube surface disposed at a seat angle (θ′) in the range of (θ′)=(θ+x)°, were x=+0° up to 1°, and the first tube surface compressed by the nut and the male portion against the second tube surface for a sealing engagement between the first tube surface and the second tube surface.

Provided is a flexible hose assembly having an inner nipple coupled to an inner flexible hose and an outer nipple at least partially surrounding the inner nipple and being coupled to an outer flexible hose, wherein a first fluid flowing through the inner nipple is directed outward in-between the inner and outer flexible hoses and a second fluid flowing in-between the inner and outer nipples is directed inward to the inner flexible hose. By directing the second fluid inward and the first flow outward, the outer flexible hose is prevented from collapsing on the inner flexible hose when pressure of the second fluid flowing through the inner flexible hose is greater than a pressure of the first fluid flowing through the outer flexible hose.

A connecting device for pipelines or hose lines with a threaded body and with a pipe-like end piece which can be inserted into a receptacle formed on the threaded body and which can be fitted therein by means of a swivel nut screwed onto the threaded body, wherein the receptacle of the threaded body has the shape of a widening cone and the circumferential surface of the end piece that engages in the receptacle has a conical design, is characterized in that the circumferential surface (12) of the threaded body (10) that bears the external thread (30) has, in the direction of the front end of said surface, an inclined profile directed opposite to the cone of the receptacle (11), and the swivel nut (17) has, with its surface (18) bearing the internal thread (31), a profile complementary thereto, and the external thread (30) and internal thread (31) are designed as tapered threads in such a way that a radial force emanating from the tapered thread with the swivel nut (17) screwed on is directed opposite to the radial force exerted, with the connecting device mounted, by the conical end piece (13) onto the receiving cone (11) formed in the threaded body (10).

Various novel connectors are provided. In one embodiment, the connector includes a collar configured to receive first and second components. In this embodiment, the connector may also include a load ring configured to be received in a groove of the second component and to move into and out of engagement with the collar when the second component is received by the collar. The connector of this illustrative embodiment may also include a cotter configured for installation to the second component and to inhibit disengagement of the load ring from the collar. In some embodiments, engagement of the load ring and the collar effects securing of the first and second components to one another. Other devices, systems, and methods related to connectors are also disclosed.

A pour spout adapter comprises a housing, a collar and a threaded engagement. The housing has a sealed bore for receiving a tube. The collar has an internal bore coupled to the housing at a rotatable connection so as to permit a tube to extend from the sealed bore through the collar. The threaded engagement is disposed on the internal bore to receive a threaded pour spout.

Disclosed is a flexible joint including: a socket including a front end portion provided with O-ring grooves, and a male threaded portion extending outward radially, circumferentially, and stepwisely from the front end portion with male threads formed thereon; a nut including an engaging portion engaged with an outer circumferential surface of the front end portion, and a female threaded portion extending stepwisely from the engaging portion and engaged with the male threaded portion; a sprinkler flexible tube communicating with an inner circumference of the socket, and having an enlarged portion inserted between the front end portion of the socket and the engaging portion of the nut, and a leak-proof portion or a double bent portion bent outward from an end of the enlarged portion; and O-rings fitted over the O-ring grooves, whereby the enlarged portion presses the O-rings to come into close contact with each other, thereby preventing leakage.

In a method for influencing the thread geometry of an internal thread of a first component of an injection device for internal combustion engines, which is provided for carrying high-pressure fluid, wherein the first component has a tubular end portion and an internal thread is formed on the interior surface of the tubular end portion, and a second component having an exterior surface on at least a portion thereof so as to be received in the tubular end portion of the first component wherein the exterior surface is threaded so said second component can be screwed and clamped against a support surface of the first component, and wherein the tubular end portion on the external side is acted upon by a radial compression force allowing a plastic deformation. The tubular end portion is transformed thereby in such a manner that the internal thread obtains an inner diameter (D) continuously decreasing towards the free end.

A high pressure coolant tube for receipt by a tool body that includes a coolant tube body with an annular flange adjacent to the exit body end. There is a threaded collar that has an exterior threaded surface. The threaded collar contains an interior collar bore comprising an enlarged diameter interior collar bore surface portion and a reduced diameter interior collar bore surface portion. There is an exit seal pocket defined by an exit-facing flange surface of the annular flange and a reduced diameter body section and the enlarged diameter interior collar bore surface portion. There is an entrance seal assembly pocket defined by an entrance-facing flange surface of the annular flange and a reduced diameter body section and the enlarged diameter interior collar bore surface portion. An exit seal is in the exit seal pocket. An entrance seal assembly is in the entrance seal assembly pocket wherein the entrance seal assembly comprises an entrance seal sandwiched by a pair of thermoplastic polyester elastomeric rings.
