SECURE COUPLING FOR IRRIGATION CONDUIT AND RELATED METHODS
20200088335 · 2020-03-19 ·

The present invention provides improved couplings for conduit systems. A male coupling and a female coupling may be mechanically engaged by inserting the male coupling into a receiver in the female coupling until fastening structures are aligned, and then rotating one or both of the male and female couplings until the fastening structures are overlapping and in interfacial engagement. The male and female couplings provide an efficient coupling solution for end-to-end conduit connection and also addresses a leakage problem in conventional irrigation pipe couplers.

QUICK COUPLING SET AND PLUG AND SOCKET THEREOF
20240027009 · 2024-01-25 · ·

A quick coupling set includes a socket and a mating plug. The socket has a rotation-restraining structure while the mating plug has a mating rotation-restraining structure. In the coupling of the socket and the mating plug, the rotation-restraining structure of the socket only allow the rotation-restraining structure of the mating plug to relatively rotate in a rotation direction, so as to complete the coupling of the socket and the mating plug. Other plugs which do not match the socket lack of a rotation-restraining structure matching that of the socket, and cannot relatively rotate in the rotation direction with respect to the socket and cannot achieve any coupling with the socket, which results in the socket and the mating plug being protected against misconnection.

LOW-EMISSION NOZZLE AND RECEPTACLE COUPLING FOR CRYOGENIC FLUID
20240084940 · 2024-03-14 ·

A low-emission nozzle and receptacle coupling for cryogenic fluid is disclosed. An example nozzle includes a body including a front end and a back end and defining a chamber through which the cryogenic fluid is to flow to the receptacle. The nozzle includes a shaft having a first end and a second end. The shaft is housed within and slidably extending through the chamber. The nozzle includes a poppet coupled to the first end of the shaft and an actuator including a stem coupled to the second end of the shaft. The stem is configured to linearly actuate to cause the shaft and the poppet to linearly actuate. The nozzle includes a coupling assembly coupling the actuator to the back end of the body. The coupling assembly includes insulating material to thermally isolate the actuator from the chamber through which the cryogenic fluid is to flow.
