A hose connecting device has a connector, an inner locking ring, an outer connector and a tubal body. The connector has an insertion section and an engaging section, the engaging section has a size greater than the insertion section, and the engaging section further has a stopping ring at a top end. The inner locking ring is jacketed onto the engaging section of the connector and abutting the stopping ring of the connector. The inner locking ring has an outer threaded section and an abutting portion disposed at a bottom end of the inner locking ring. The outer connector has one of a female connector and a male connector, and a channel, the channel has a positioning step at a middle portion, an inner threaded section disposed below the positioning step of the channel. The tubal body is jacketed onto the insertion section of the connector.

A hose assembly, preferably a garden hose assembly, including a fabric jacketed tube that is lightweight, durable and versatile. The tube is radially expandable when pressurized by a fluid, such as water, but does not increase in length. The two layer construction of the hose assembly allows for storage in relatively compact spaces, similar flow rates, approximately one-half the weight, and improved maneuverability when compared to conventional hose constructions. In one embodiment the jacket is formed around the tube in a continuous process that welds a fabric, preferably using hot air, into the jacket. The welded joint forms a region of jacket that is preferably about twice the thickness of the rest of the jacket. This thicker region results in a stiffer section of jacket that makes the hose more controllable and consistent in use.

Disclosed is a fluid connection system including a sleeve, a pipe and a fluid connector, the fluid connector including at least one rigid body made from a sterilizable biocompatible material, and the pipe including a flexible connection portion made from a sterilizable biocompatible material that is at least partially elastomeric. The fluid connector and the flexible connection portion of the pipe are assembled to one another, with the flexible connection portion of the pipe surrounding the rigid body, and the sleeve being shrunk tightly, but with free movement, on the pipe.

The press fitting for a pipe, is provided with a fitting body which has a supporting sleeve with a free end and a pressing sleeve. The pressing sleeve is held substantially concentrically with respect to the supporting sleeve by means of at least one spacer element arranged at the holding end of the pressing sleeve. I the region of the holding end of the pressing sleeve, the fitting body has a locking depression or a locking projection. At the holding end, the cylindrical wall of the pressing sleeve has at least one opening through which a locking element extends to the axial fitting of the pressing sleeve to the fitting body, wherein the locking element projects into the locking depression of the fitting body and ends in the depression, or the locking element engages around or behind the locking projection of the fitting body.

A fitting (3, 3′) for connecting to a tubular element (5, 5′) having a first end section (9, 9′) comprising at least one first connection element (21, 21′), wherein the diameter of at least a part of the first connection element (21, 21′) can be reduced in a radial direction in order to produce a connection, wherein the first connection element (21, 21′) comprises at least one first hook element (21, 21′) and/or at least one first crimp (237, 437) configured to be connected in force-fit and/or form-fit manner to at least one second crimp (7, 7′) and/or at least one second hook element (235) formed on the outer surface of the tubular element, when the diameter of at least a part of the first connection element (21, 21′) is reduced, as well as a tubing connection and a method for connecting a fitting to a tubular element.

A pipe connector comprises a first connection, a second connection and a third connection. Longitudinal axes of the connections are located substantially in a first plane. The first connection and the second connection are arranged on a common side in relation to a second plane, wherein the second plane is aligned perpendicular to the first plane and runs through the longitudinal axis of the third connection. The first connection and the second connection are linked by means of a U-shaped pipe section, wherein an elongated pipe section has the third connection being formed out from the U-shaped pipe section. The first connection and the second connection are spaced from one another in such a manner that the first connection and the second connection are accessible for connection of pipe lines by means of a tool, in particular a pressing tool.

The present disclosure relates to a hose-line connector, comprising a connection part having at least one elongated hose connection for slipping a hose line onto the at least one hose connection. The hose connection has a sealing segment having a circumferential sealing surface at a free front end and a retaining segment axially adjacent thereto as a clamping region for the circumferential radial clamping of a hose line that is slipped on. On the outer circumference of the retaining segment, the retaining segment has a radially protruding rib structure, which has at least one circumferential rib in the form of an annular ridge and/or at least one longitudinal rib distributed over the circumference and extending axially and/or at an angle to the axial direction.

An anchor of an anchoring arrangement for a protective sleeve which locates, in use, over a conduit assembly, the conduit assembly including a conduit end connector configured to engage and fasten an end of a conduit to a conduit connection assembly. The anchor comprises a mounting element which is configured, in use, to be removably mountable on and around at least a portion of the conduit end connector, the mounting element having an outer side; and at least one fastening groove formed in and extending around the outer side of the mounting element. Each fastening groove is configured to receive, in use, a portion of a co-located protective sleeve and at least one securing element such that the securing element captures a portion of a co-located protective sleeve between the securing element and the mounting element within a cooperating fastening groove.
