An assembly of a male coupling part 200 and a stiff tube 100 is disclosed, the stiff tube 100 having an attachment means 110; and the male coupling part 200 requiring a relative axial displacement between the male coupling part 200 and the stiff tube 100 for connecting to a female coupling part 500, the male coupling part 200 comprising an axial through opening 210. The Assembly further comprises an element 300 detachably connected to the male coupling part 200 and slidably attached to the stiff tube 100, the element 300 having an opening 310 allowing relative axial displacement 340 between the male coupling part 200 and the stiff tube 100, and the attachment means 110 being movable within the opening 310. A method for coupling and un-coupling the assembly to a female coupling part is also disclosed.

A delivery assembly for a crop input delivery system. The delivery system includes a boom adapted to be supported at a proximal end from a mobile vehicle, the mobile vehicle holding a supply of the crop input, the boom supporting a conduit having a proximal end in fluid communication with the supply of crop input. The delivery system further includes a first coupler and a second coupler. The first coupler is supported on a distal end of the boom and is coupled to the conduit. The second coupler is in fluid communication with a storage tank disposed on the implement, the second coupler configured to fluidly couple with the first coupler. A clamping assembly releasably couples the first and second couplers in fluid engagement.

Coupling element (1) with tolerance compensation for flexibly connecting two elements for guiding media, having two components (2, 3), which can be connected captively to each other in a fluid-guiding manner, wherein a translational, rotational or cardanically tilting movement of the first component (2) against the second component (3) is possible. The invention therefore addressed the problem of improving a tolerance-compensating coupling element (1) of the kind described at the outset in such a way that materials with high strength but low elasticity demands can be used. This problem is solved by the fact that the captive connection (7, 8) has a slotted snap ring (8) that engages through an opening (6) of the first component (2) and behind a bead (7) of the second component (3), thereby preventing the two components (2, 3) from being completely pulled apart.

An exemplary bulkhead connector assembly may include a housing that has an inner diameter surface, a first opening and a second opening. The assembly may further have a retainer attached to the housing and one or more feet extending radially inward from the inner diameter surface of the housing. The assembly can also include a collar that has a portion received within the first opening or the second opening. The collar may have an outer surface that cooperates with the feet of the retainer to hold a conduit within the housing.

Disclosed is a fluid connection device (10) comprising a male connector (12) and a female connector (14), which are configured to be fitted one inside the other along an axis X so as to produce a fluid connection, and at least one annular seal (16) carried by one of the connectors and configured to engage with the other connector in order to ensure a seal between the connectors, the connectors being configured to be fastened to each other by resilient snap-fastening and to retain, after fastening, at least one degree of freedom with respect to each other, characterised in that the connectors are fastened together by a double fastening by resilient snap-fastening and by bayonet, this resilient snap-fastening being configured to be irreversible without deterioration so that, after fastening, the device cannot be dismantled without deterioration.

The inventive disclosures described herein pertain to an improved irrigation-system-coupling device, with a length-adjustment feature, that is designed to provide a coupling between polymeric irrigation-system hosing/tubing and a water-supply valve, such as solenoid-operated control/supply valves commonly used in automated irrigation systems. The length-adjustment configuration allows for easy installation in the field without the need to splice additional lengths of hosing/tubing in situations where various environmental conditions and/or necessitated repairs to or removal of sections of hoses/tubing has caused an extra gap between a supply-valve manifold housing and the end of the existing hose/tubing.

An exemplary bulkhead (104A) connector assembly (100) includes a housing (106) having a first opening (138) and a second opening (130). The assembly (100) may further include a collar (108) that has a portion received within one of the first and second openings. The collar (108) may be rotatable to a latched position to hold a conduit (104B) within the housing (106). Further, the assembly (100) may have a detent (118) holding the collar (108) in the latched position when the detent (118) is moved to a locked position. The detent (118) in the locked position may have an indicator surface (112) providing tactile feedback indicative of the detent (118) holding the collar (108) in the latched position.

Art aircraft fluid line coupling assembly includes: an inner tube; an outer tube assembly having an outer tube, the inner tube extending into the outer tube, and having first connector element of a twist-to-connect joint disposed on a front end of the outer tube; a retention member having second connector element of the twist-to-connect joint, the first and the second connector elements being detachably mated to releasably interconnect the retention member and the outer tube with each other, the retention member being arranged outwardly around a longitudinal portion the inner tube so as to prevent detachment of the inner tube from the outer tube when the twist-to-connect joint is in a connected position, and so as to allow detachment of the inner tube from the outer tube when the twist-to-connect joint is in an unconnected position; and a locking mechanism for locking the twist-to-connect joint.

An embodiment of a fluid valve includes a substantially flat face plate, a receptacle, a cavity, and a drain assembly. The receptacle is disposed in the face plate and has at least one protrusion each configured to engage a respective one of at least one groove of a valve-opening-and-fluid-dispensing device. The cavity has a top end in fluid communication with the receptacle, and has a bottom end. And the drain assembly has a top end in fluid communication with the bottom end of the cavity, has a bottom end, and is configured to allow fluid to drain from the cavity in response to the valve-opening-and-fluid-dispensing device being absent from the receptacle.
