An improved biasing spring mechanism for the valve poppet of the self-sealing valve disposed in the bag fitment of a beverage dispensing collapsible bag. A singular integrally formed spring mechanism and valve poppet replaces the two-piece embodiment previously employed for the self-sealing valve. A u-shaped channel on the poppet receives the valve seat in the coupling to seal off the flow of liquid when the poppet is pushed into the closed position. A plurality of petaloid segments connect the poppet to a circumferential ring surrounding the petaloid segments and provide a spring force to the poppet to move the poppet between the open and closed positions.

A coupling device for fluid is proposed which is very simple in construction and requires little installation space, such that it can also be used in stationary or driven tool holders and in other restricted installation situations.

The invention relates to a quick coupling, made up of a male element and a female element. The male element includes a cylindrical male body, defining a longitudinal cavity, a distal mouth, and a valve movable axially inside the cavity between a forward position in which the valve closes off the mouth and a withdrawn position in which the valve does not close off the mouth. The female element includes a cylindrical female body, defining a longitudinal cavity and a distal mouth, a push-piece, and a slide valve. The male body or the push-piece delimits a fluid passage channel connecting an inside of the cavity to the distal mouth, and the passage channel, emerging inside the cavity of the male element or the female element, fits inside a circle, the diameter of which is respectively larger or smaller than that of the first and second sealing gaskets.

A check joint structure for a connection of an air nozzle of a tire and a connector of a connection hose of an air compressor, the air compressor contains: a box, a sealant supply can, and a connection hose. The box includes a body of the air compressor. The sealant supply can includes an open segment and a supply tube. The connection hose includes a first segment and a second segment. The second segment has a check connector which includes a fitting sleeve, and the fitting sleeve has a threaded orifice, a through orifice, and a projected shoulder. A cylindrical base includes a cylindrical room, a stepped coupling segment, a conduit, and a first stepped portion. A first spring is received into the cylindrical room to abut against the first stepped portion. A valve bolt includes a contacting element fitted thereon.

A coupling having a male nipple (12) and a female coupler (14), in which one or both of the coupling members provides a simplified construction with a reduced number of parts for minimizing assembly time and overall costs. The coupling member(s) may include unique interlocking elements (38, 49), such as flexible finger elements, that slidably secure the valve sleeve(s) to the valve bodies. The female coupler (14) may include a valve body (23) with a unique interface, such as interlocking teeth, for rotatably coupling to a thread sleeve (51). The thread sleeve (51) may have a bendable web for facilitating assembly of a spring for an actuating sleeve. The actuating sleeve may be formed with a hollow annular internal chamber. The male nipple (12) may include the actuating sleeve instead of the female coupler (14). Other features also may be optimized, such as via additive manufacturing techniques, including

A zero-flow thread-lock quick connect/disconnect coupling having male and female couplers that enhance the fire-resistance capability of the coupling in a zero-flow pressurized state. The couplers include a fire-resistant seal assembly including a seal ring and non-metallic backup rings disposed. A first backup ring is made with a high-temperature non-metallic material and is formed as a delta ring for enhancing sealing performance during a fire event. A second non-metallic backup ring is formed as a half-delta ring between first and third backup rings. The third backup ring is made with a non-metallic material that is softer than the first and second backup rings and which abuts the seal ring. The female coupler includes a bearing ring that operatively connects a rotatable threaded support to the coupler body, a protrusion-slot interface between an actuating sleeve and the rotatable support, and a seal in the actuating sleeve for damping and/or debris-resistance.

A male coupling member detachably couplable to a female coupling member includes an outer coupling body having a first end inserted and fitted into the female coupling member, a second end opposite to the first end, and a passage extending from the first end to the second end. The male coupling member further includes an inner coupling body disposed coaxially with the outer coupling body at a position closer to the first end, and a filtration member detachably attached to the inner coupling body. The inner coupling body is attachable to and detachable from the outer coupling body from the first end. The filtration member is held in the passage when the inner coupling body is attached to the outer coupling body. The filtration member is detachable when the inner coupling body is detached from the outer coupling body.
