A seed cart coupler system for providing efficient connection of air seeder hoses between a seed cart and air seeder with a corrosion resistant coupler. The seed cart coupler system generally includes a first connector adapted to be removably connected to a second connector. The first connector includes a plurality of tubes that fluidly connect to corresponding seed hoses of a seed cart and the second connector includes a plurality of tubes that fluidly connect to corresponding seed hoses of an air seeder. The first connector and the second connector fluidly connect the seed tubes of the seed cart and the air seeder when connected together. The first connector and the second connector are preferably constructed of a material that is not corroded by fertilizer.

A coupling assembly includes a coupling body defined by first and second arcuate coupling members each having a first end and a second end, a hinge arrangement for pivotally connecting the second ends of the first and second arcuate coupling members together such that the first and second arcuate coupling members are pivotally moveable between an open position and a closed position, the first and second arcuate coupling members surrounding a central axis of the coupling body when in the closed position, the first and second arcuate coupling members defining a circumferential gap between the second ends, the hinge arrangement including first and second links that are parallel and that are spaced-apart from one another, and a latching arrangement for latching the first ends of the first and second arcuate coupling members together to latch the first and second arcuate coupling members in the closed position.

A clip for fastening a pipe to a support, comprising a fixed part, a mobile part, a first joint connecting a first edge of the fixed part and a first end of the mobile part, and a system for holding the mobile part a closed state. The system comprises a lever and a second joint connecting the lever to a second end of the mobile part, and an angled U-shape connected to the second edge of the fixed part, configured to permit the lever and the second joint to pass through the angled U-shape and to permit the lever to be positioned in a folded position against an external face of the mobile part to hold the mobile part in the closed state.

A pipe coupler includes a first jaw member, a first jaw extension, a second jaw member defining an open channel, a mounting board, a ratchet, and a first biasing member. The first and second jaw members are hinged to each other. The mounting board extends outwardly from the open channel of the second jaw member. The first jaw extension extends from the first jaw member, and is configured to extend into the open channel. The first jaw extension has a plurality of rack teeth. The ratchet is rotatably mounted on the mounting board, and has a plurality of ratchet teeth configured to mesh with the rack teeth. The first jaw extension is permitted to drive the ratchet to rotate unidirectionally against a first biasing force of the first biasing member.

A clamping device (10) suitable for securing a pair of flanges (12) together, consists of a unitary strip of a polymeric material that defines a multiplicity of clamping segments (14, 15) linked by flexible strip portions (16). The ends of the unitary strip define latching elements (22, 24) shaped to interconnect when the ends are brought together. Along one face of the unitary strip the clamping segments (14, 15) define teeth (18, 20) that project at opposite sides of the unitary strip, and these teeth define faces that are adapted in use to contact outer faces of the pair of flanges. Each clamping segment (14, 15) may define two opposing teeth (18, 20). The clamping device can be operated with a single hand, being bent around the outside of the pair of flanges so that the clamping segments (14, 15) engage opposite faces of the pair of flanges (12) and hold them together, and the latching elements (22, 24) are interconnected.

Assembly for securing two components by tool free engagement. The assembly including a clamped component and a shouldered component. The shouldered component including a channel for receiving the clamped component. The channel having a first wall and a second wall. The clamped component being in contact with the second wall. The first wall of the channel having a tapered interface. A clamp including a clamp segment having a tapered interface, is adapted to wedge against the tapered interface of the first wall. The clamp segment being positioned between the first wall and the clamped component. Application of clamping force by the clamp on the clamp segment forces its tapered interface against the mating tapered interface of the first wall resulting in a force which translates from the clamp segment through the clamped component and against the second wall of the channel thereby securing the clamped component to the shouldered component.
