A connecting assembly for operatively and fluidly connecting at least first and second hose segments together. The connecting assembly includes at least one insert portion, and corresponding bulge(s), securing device(s) and fluid passage(s).

The securing device is removably mounted onto and displaceable about a portion of a given length span of the insert portion, and configured for operation between a first release mode, where the securing device being is drawn away from the bulge and thus an extremity of the hosing segment is releasable, and a second connecting mode, where the securing device is removably and selectively displaced over an outward overlapping of the extremity of the hosing segment extending over the bulge, so as to securely maintain said extremity of the hosing segment in place, operatively against the bulge and thus, prevent the first extremity of the first hosing segment from being removed from the bulge. Quick and easy.

A tubing splicing device for repairing tubing includes a pair of housings. Each housing comprises a barrel, which is open-ended. A pipe, which is externally threaded, is positioned in and rotationally coupled to the barrel. The pipe is configured to be threadedly inserted into a respective segment of a tubular substrate so that the tubular substrate is drawn into a first end of the housing to sealably couple the pipe to the tubular substrate. A first coupler is coupled to a second end of one of the housings. A second coupler is coupled to a second end of other of the housings. The second coupler, being complementary to the first coupler, is positioned to couple to the first coupler to couple the one of the housings to the other of the housings. Concurrently, the pipes are sealably coupled to sealably couple two segments of the tubular substrate.

A connector for use with a dialyzer to connect a conduit from a dialyzer with a conduit from a dialysate source. The connector includes a sleeve (female component) and a collet (male component). The sleeve has a generally cylindrical shape with an opening at one end having a circular shape with at least one slot positioned along the periphery of the circular shape. The sleeve also includes at least one flexible finger having a barb at a free end. The collet is configured to be housed within an interior chamber of the sleeve and has first and second gaps to house the barbs and first and second deflectable flanges to lock into recesses in a conduit.

The utility model discloses a pipe connection mechanism, a refrigeration system having the same, and a refrigeration appliance. The pipe connection mechanism is used for connecting a flexible pipe and a rigid pipe, and includes: a joint pipe and a sleeve sleeving the flexible pipe, wherein the joint pipe has a first pipe part fixedly connected to the rigid pipe, and a second pipe part forward inserted into the flexible pipe and stretching the flexible pipe in an interference manner; and the sleeve backward sleeves the second pipe part and the sleeve and the second pipe part clamp and fix the flexible pipe together. The refrigeration system includes a rigid pipe and a flexible pipe which are fixedly connected in a fit manner through the pipe connection mechanism.

Systems, devices, and methods for treating a patient are disclosed. The systems can include a cryotherapy apparatus for selectively treating targeted tissue. The cryotherapy apparatus includes one or more stress relief couplings located along a conduit to help keep an applicator positioned at a treatment site without significant rotational torque being imparted to the applicator by the conduit so that the applicator does not tend to move relative to patient skin during a tissue treatment. The stress relief couplings can include swivel connectors and clamps that cooperate to minimize or limit a rotational force exerted on the applicator by the conduit after the applicator is applied to the patient's skin.

A connector for a fluid line includes a sleeve having a hollow portion at least partway therethrough. The sleeve includes an engaging portion. A collet having an engaging part is secured to the engaging portion. A grab part has one or more teeth configured to retain the fluid line, and the teeth are located in the hollow portion. A locking part is provided having a locking portion, and the locking part is configured to move from a first position to a second position where the locking portion locks with a locking piece to assist with forming a fluid seal with the fluid line.

A corrugated piping assembly for use in an irrigation system for bridging between different pipe sections and/or irrigation appliances. The assembly has a corrugated pipe section fitted at a rear end to a connector and a sleeve overlaying a region where the pipe section fits over the connector. The sleeve is arranged to press inwards against the pipe section to press it against portions of the connector.

A sliding sleeve connection between an expanded end of an all-plastic pipe or of a plastic composite pipe and a connecting element includes an expanded end of an all-plastic pipe or of a plastic composite pipe; a connecting element having at least one support body provided with circumferential external ribs, onto which the expanded end of the all-plastic pipe or of the plastic composite pipe is slid, and at least one circumferential collar; and a sliding sleeve made of elastically deformable polymer material axially slid onto the expanded end. The connecting element includes a pre-stop between the circumferential collar and the nearest circumferential external rib to the latter. The pre-stop constitutes a limitation for sliding onto the end of the pipe. The end of the sliding sleeve facing the circumferential collar protrudes beyond the end of the pre-stop facing the circumferential external rib.

An anti-jet joint structure of a connection hose of a vehicle air compressor contains: an accommodation box, an adhesive supply can, and a connection hose. The accommodation box accommodates the vehicle air compressor started by a power to produce air. The adhesive supply can accommodates chemical adhesive for repairing a tire, and the adhesive supply can includes an open segment and a supply hose. The connection hose includes a first joint and a second joint opposite to the first joint. The first joint is engaged with the supply hose, and the second joint is screwed with a gas nozzle of the tire. The second joint is the anti-jet joint structure and has a first connection assembly and a second assembly. The first connection assembly is connected with or is removed from the second connection assembly having different interior structures and volumes so as to mate with various tires.

A shield assembly for logging tool sensors includes a single piece cylindrical shield and first and second cylindrical end clamps deployed about opposing axial ends of the cylindrical shield. The cylindrical shield is deployed about a logging sensor disposed on a logging tool collar. At least one of the first and second end clamps includes one or more keys for engaging a corresponding slot in the shield and a corresponding pocket in an outer surface of the tool collar. Engagement of the key with the corresponding slot and the corresponding pocket is operative to prevent relative rotational and relative axial motion between the cylindrical shield, the first and second end clamps, and the tool collar.
