A clothes dryer vent connection system 10 includes a vent housing 14 that has a forward inlet for receiving the dryer exhaust and a side outlet for routing the dryer exhaust to an outlet hose. The vent housing 14 includes a flat forward face 18 with a center hole 16 that can be placed in registry with the center opening of a magnetic boot 46 of a connector 24, which is attachable to a clothes dryer vent tube 26. The vent housing 14 is positioned in fixed location so that the clothes dryer vent tube 26 is in alignment with the housing opening 16. As such, the connector 24 attached to the dryer vent tube is also in registry with the housing opening. A secure connection is achieved by placing the magnetic boot 46 of the connector 24 against the housing front face 18 with the center of the boot section 46 aligned with the opening 16 of the vent housing front face 18.

A hose coupling system includes a first hose coupling defining a through passage with first and second open ends, the first hose coupling having a hose fitting at the first open end and a flange at the second open end, the flange having a face defining a plurality of circumferentially spaced recesses. Magnets are disposed respectively within the circumferentially spaced recesses. The hose coupling system further includes a second hose coupling defining a through passage with first and second open ends, the second hose coupling having a hose fitting at the first open end and a body with a face at the second open end, the face defining an annular recess receptive to the flange of the first hose coupling, the body further defining a receptacle for a mount and having a boss protruding outwardly from within the receptacle. A ferromagnetic ring is disposed within the annular recess.

A water delivery device includes a first conduit section and a second conduit section rotatably coupled to the first conduit section by a magnetic joint. The magnetic joint includes a plurality of magnets that cooperatively define a plurality of rotational positions between the first conduit 5 section and the second conduit section.

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 removable hood for a fume extractor comprises a shield defining an internal cavity and having one or more vent openings in an upper portion, a welding opening in a rear portion, one or more viewing openings in one or more sides, and a pipe opening in a bottom portion of the shield. The pipe opening comprises arcuate portions on either side thereof for placement adjacent to a pipe. The hood also comprises a removable attachment mechanism on the upper portion of the shield configured to selectively couple the one or more vent openings to an extraction arm of the fume extractor, one or more layers of window material coupled to the shield to cover each of the one or more viewing openings, and one or more internal airflow spaces shaped to direct air flow to cool the window material when suction is applied to the vent openings.

A coupling device is provided for mounting on a bib of a faucet to releasably secure a hose or some other component to the bib. The coupling device includes an engagement surface, a gasket ring, a clamp assembly and a locking assembly. The coupling device is configured so that the clamp assembly can be actuated to mount the coupling device on the bib. The gasket ring is configured to be compressed between the engagement surface and the bib to enable liquid to flow from the bib into the coupling device and out of it into the hose or other component without leakage. The locking assembly is configured to lock the coupling device on the bib, but is releasable when desired to dismount the coupling device from the bib.

A water delivery device includes a plurality of magnetic joints each including a plurality of magnetic members, and a plurality of conduit sections each rotatably coupled to each other by a magnetic joint of the plurality of magnetic joints. The plurality of conduit sections collectively define a spout of the water delivery device. The spout extends from a first portion configured to be coupled to a mounting surface to a second portion configured to discharge a fluid. The water delivery device is configured such that magnetic joints located closer to the first portion include a greater number of magnetic members than magnetic joints located closer to the second portion.

A pure electric modular subsea test tree is provided, which includes a connect-disconnect device, wherein the first channel is formed in the connect-disconnect device; the connect-disconnect device is provided with a locking assembly and a connection drive mechanism for driving the locking assembly, and the first electrical connection plug is embedded in the connect-disconnect device, and the connection drive mechanism is electrically connected with the first electrical connection plug; a shear-seal assembly, wherein a second channel communicated with the first channel is formed in the shear-seal assembly; the shear-seal assembly includes at least one shear-seal device capable of plugging the second channel; a connection part is formed on the shear-seal assembly; a heating device is arranged at one end of the shear-seal device far from the connection part. The disclosure relates to a pure electric modular subsea test tree, which has fast response speed and high operation safety.

A hose connector is disclosed that provides a magnetized connection of hoses, tubes, cables, ducts, pipes, chains, straps, wires, twine, cord and/or rope creating a continuation in length for versatile and extended flow for, but not limited to, watering needs eliminating conventional connector threads currently requiring multiple turns to release or attach or existing pronged coupling requiring a degree of hand agility and strength. Thereby the disclosed matter provides the means for a fast, single motion attachment or twisting detachment of, but not limited to hose, tube, cable, duct, pipe, chain, strap, wire, twine, cord and/or rope ends without requiring the hand strength or precision that some conventional hose, tube, cable, duct, twine, cord, and/or rope connectors may require. There may be any combination of connecting the ends of hoses, tubes, cables, ducts, pipes, chains, straps, wires, twines, cords, and/or ropes. In some scenarios, flow is not required.

A headset for a hydration system is disclosed. The headset includes a fluid conduit adapted to connect to a distal end of a hydration system supply tube, and a magnetic quick connect having an upstream and a downstream coupling member. The upstream and downstream coupling members have a common mating axis and together define a portion of the fluid conduit. The upstream member also includes an off-axis arm that may be rotated about the mating axis without decoupling the coupling members. A headgear mount for use in headsets for hydration systems, such as the disclosed headset, is also provided.
