20170336012 · 2017-11-23 ·

A protective cover structure of a water hose includes a water hose connector, a rigid protective cover, and at least one sealing member. The water hose connector has elasticity. A front end of the water hose connector is formed with a mating portion for connecting with a spray nozzle. A rear end of the water hose connector is formed with a concave step and a connecting portion. A rear end of the metallic press member is inserted into the water hose. A front end of the metallic press member is formed with a mating cap having an evaginated rim. The concave step of the water hose connector is movably mated with the metallic press member through the evaginated rim of the mating cap, such that the spray nozzle can be turned at will relative to the water hose and won't be turned reversely, twisted, bent.

ENCAPSULATED SYSTEM FOR PRESSURIZED FLUID PROCESSES

Fluid management systems for handling pressurized fluid connect various subsystems or subunits without the need to use reinforced tubing. The system utilizes one or more segments of unreinforced conduit that are encapsulated at various points along a length of the segment with one or more rigid encapsulating members. The unreinforced conduit may be made a disposable element while the rigid encapsulating members may be re-used. In one aspect, the encapsulating member may include a two-part valve body that surrounds and encapsulates a portion of the unreinforced conduit. In another aspect, the encapsulating member may include a two-part jacket that surrounds and encapsulates a portion of the unreinforced conduit. The two-part valve bodies and two-part jackets may be joined at various points within the system as part of the overall flow system.

CLADDING TUBE FOR ENVELOPING AN UNDERWATER CONDUIT
20170328509 · 2017-11-16 ·

A dadding tube (1) for enveloping an underwater conduit (2), such as a pipeline or a cable line, has at least one clamping portion (6), which comprises at least one deformation portion (6A, 6B, 6C) being integrally manufactured with the cladding tube (1), which deformation portion (6A, 6B, 6C) is a first wall portion of the cladding tube (1), which has a larger thickness in the radial direction than at least one second wall portion (8) of the clamping portion concerned, in such manner that by said larger thickness the first wall portion is, and the at least one second wall portion (8) is not, pressed against the underwater conduit (2) by a tensioning strap (7) being tensioned all round. The deformation portion concerned is easy to produce, durable and reliable. Thanks to the at least one clamping portion the dadding tube can be designed in harder and lower-cost materials than the soft, flexible poly urethane, which is usually applied nowadays.
