Separator device

An in-line fitment for connection of a filter to a pipe includes first and second fluid-carrying portions and a non-fluid-carrying spacer. Each fluid-carrying portion includes a socket for receiving an open end of a pipe and a connector for connection of the filter. A screw compression fitting is provided on each of the sockets of the first and second fluid-carrying portions for forming a sealed connection with the open ends of the pipe. The socket of the first fluid-carrying portion has a pipe receiving depth greater than that of the socket of the second fluid-carrying portion for enabling movement of the fitment parallel to the pipe when engaged with one of the open ends of the pipe. The sockets of the first and second fluid-carrying portions are positioned on a common axis and facing away from each other when the fluid-carrying portions are linked by the spacer.

A ring member is disposed on a ring member mounting position. The ring member mounting position is a region between a pair of locking walls and is formed in a straight pipe shape. The ring member is in a substantially C shape with an opening at a part of its circumferential direction. The ring member may also be formed in a ring shape being connected at ring member joint parts. The ring member includes a reduced diameter part and first click parts protruding from the reduced diameter part substantially parallel in the pipe axial direction to form a slide guide. The ring member also includes second click parts of which outer diameters expand gradually from the reduced diameter part toward their tip ends. A male fitting part and a female fitting part are fitted with each other using the above ring member to obtain an electrical conduit. A connection structure for the electrical conduits, a bell block, a method for connecting electrical conduits, a method for connecting an electrical conduit and a bell block, a pipe coupling, and a ring member can be obtained thereby. The present invention can also provide a double-wall conduit of which an outer conduit is the electrical conduit having the same structures as the male fitting part and the female fitting part, a connection structure for the double-wall electrical conduits, and a conduit line using the connection structure.

ADAPTERS FOR CONNECTING A SEPARATED-OUTLET FLUID CARTRIDGE TO A SINGLE-INLET MIXER, AND RELATED METHODS
20170356582 · 2017-12-14 ·

An adapter for connecting a separated-outlet fluid cartridge to a single-inlet static mixer includes a lock mechanism and a lock release mechanism. The adapter includes a connection portion that engages the mixer. The lock mechanism has at least one snap arm that lockingly engages the cartridge in a snap fit manner so as to secure the adapter to the cartridge in fluid communication. When in the locked position, separate fluids are evacuated from the cartridge into the mixer where they are mixed prior to dispensing. The lock release mechanism quickly and easily unlocks the at least one snap arm from the cartridge for allowing a user to separate the adapter from the cartridge. The adapter sealing engages with both the mixer and the cartridge so that fluid flowing from the cartridge to the mixer does not leak.

Lockable Exchangeable Fluid Connector and Method
20230184362 · 2023-06-15 ·

Disclosed herein is a fluid connector system configured to couple a first fluid line structure, e.g. port, with a second fluid line structure, e.g. catheter. The connector system can include a connector body and one or more locking mechanisms designed to transition between an unlocked position and a locked position. The locking mechanism includes a first lever arm rotatably coupled to the connector body, and a second lever arm rotatably coupled to the first lever arm. The second lever arm can further be rotatably and releasably coupled to the port. Rotating the first lever arm uses mechanical advantage to urge the port to engage a catheter ensuring a tight seal therebetween even under high fluid pressures.
