Reusable clamp with latch release arm for connecting conduit sections and associated methods
10859192 · 2020-12-08 · ·

A reusable clamp for retaining conduit sections or sanitary fittings having circular flanges together includes two gland members movable between open and closed positions. The gland members include two handles projecting outwardly from the gland members and two sets of locking detents formed on a latch finger connected to one gland member and the outer periphery of the other gland member. The locking detents engage to prevent movement of the gland members away from the closed position until a latch release arm coupled to the latch finger is depressed towards one of the handles, which causes the locking detents to disengage from one another and enables re-opening of the clamp when desired. The latch release arm and one or more of the handles also include tie-receiving loops to prevent accidental opening of the clamp unless desired by the end user.

ADJUSTABLE TRANSITION COUPLER
20200378534 · 2020-12-03 ·

An adjustable transition coupler for coupling AC/MC to conduit, having a body with a hollow cylindrical section and an extension member, the cylindrical section having a slot to allow passage of a stop plate. The coupler has an insulator (armor stop) with a hollow bushing at one end for insertion into a cavity of the cylindrical section and a stop plate extending radially outward, the stop plate movable by an adjustment screw between minimum and maximum deflections. The stop plate stops AC/MC from passage into the cylindrical section. The hollow bushing stops the conduit positioned in the hollow cylindrical section from passage into the extension member. The coupler has a strap to secure AC having different outer sheath diameters. Snap tabs on the insulator fit into holes in the body while a rib on the stop plate passes through a notch in the slot to facilitate installation and minimize movement.

Adjustable collar

Fluid conduit connection system with a double undercut clamp

A conduit connection system may have a first coupling connected to a first conduit. The first coupling may have a first undercut. The conduit connection system may also have a second coupling connected to a second conduit. The second coupling may have a second undercut. The conduit connection system may have a clamp. The clamp may have a first projection. The first projection may be configured to be received in the first undercut. The clamp may have a second projection. The second projection may be configured to be received in the second undercut. The conduit connection system may also include a connector. The connector may be configured to engage with the clamp to connect the first coupling and the second coupling.

Column-attaching device and ferrule set

In a state in which a ferrule 10 is sandwiched and fixed between a ferrule receiving part 20 and a ferrule pressing part 30, the ferrule 10 is urged toward the ferrule receiving part 20 side by an urging member 33. With this structure, without configuring such that the ferrule pressing part is screwed in the ferrule receiving part by rotating several times, the ferrule 10 can be pressed toward the ferrule receiving part 20 side by a sufficient pressing force by the urging force of the urging member 33. Therefore, the attaching work of the column 2 can be performed more easily.
