MULTI-AXIS ROTATABLE COUPLING ELEMENT FOR A HOSE OR PIPE
A multi-axis rotatable coupling element for a hose or pipe comprising a rotation assembly coupled between a female fitting and a male fitting. The female fitting has a first female threaded end connector for attachment to a hose or spigot, and a second end connector. The male fitting has a third male threaded end for attachment to a hose or spigot, and a fourth end connector. The rotation assembly consists of a first and second rotation member and a single continuous internal channel. The first and second rotation member are rotatable about a first and second axis of rotation, respectively, and have a first and second longitudinal bore for conveying fluid, respectively. The first and second axes of rotation may be different. The single continuous internal channel comprises at least the first and second longitudinal bore and conveys a fluid between the female fitting and the male fitting.
Telescoping pipe coupling
A telescoping pipe coupling comprising a hollow body, a hollow tubular insert slidably disposed within the body, two gasket wells, two end connectors, one end connector coupled to each end of the telescoping pipe coupling, two gripper washer wells, a gasket for sealing the tubular insert with the body, two gaskets for sealing one or more pipe sections to the telescoping pipe coupling, two gasket retaining rings each comprising a shoulder, two gripper washers retained within the two gripper washer wells each comprising an outer periphery, wherein the shoulder of each gasket retaining ring is adjacent to the outer periphery of a gripper washer.

A COIN HANDLING APPARATUS
A coin handling apparatus having: a first coin position; a second coin position; and a pipe for transporting coins from the first to the second coin position. The pipe is jointed and has a rigid, elongate element having a straight, elongate portion and a curved portion at a first end of the straight, elongate portion. The pipe further includes a rigid, curved element. The curved portion and the curved element are connected to define a continuous passageway through the curved element and the elongate element. The curved element, at least before mounting of the pipe in the coin handling apparatus, is rotatable in relation to the elongate element, such that an angle between a first opening of the curved element and a direction extending along the straight elongate portion is variable.

Plumbing fittings
Plumbing fittings and methods of manufacturing plumbing fittings for use in drain-waste-vent systems are described herein. The plumbing fittings include a housing having at least one receiving member defining a cylindrical bore for receiving a piping member therein, at least one annular seal fittingly inserted in a receiving member, and an annular locking member dimensioned for receiving the piping member therethrough. The annular locking member includes teeth extending inwardly for locking the piping member within the receiving member. The plumbing fittings also include an annular releasing member inserted within the receiving member and movable between a locking position and a releasing position whereat the beveled portion of the annular releasing member presses against the teeth for releasing the piping member.
