A connector system for an aircraft, for connecting a hose line, includes a skin panel which has a clearance which extends between an external face and an internal face, a primary part which on the clearance is disposed on an internal side of the skin panel that is defined by the internal face, a cover mounted on the primary part and movable between a closing position in which the cover covers the clearance of the skin panel, and an opening position in which the cover releases the clearance of the skin panel, and a tubular connector port mounted on the primary part and movable between a storage position in which the connector port is disposed on the internal side of the skin panel, and a use position in which the connector port projects beyond the external face of the skin panel.

A wireless communication safety break device is disclosed which has an upper safety break portion having a fuel inlet, an upper portion check valve, an upper portion communications device, an upper portion contact point or switch, and a lower safety break portion having a fuel outlet, a lower portion check valve, a lower portion contact point or switch, and a locator device.

A work vehicle multi-coupler assembly having a controlled breakaway feature include a pair of coupling elements that mate along a coupling axis. A shear pin is carried by one of the coupling elements. A coupler mechanism connected to the second coupling element and configured to engage the shear pin to bring the first coupling element into mating engagement with the second coupling element. The coupler mechanism is configured to shear the shear pin to permit movement of the first coupling element away from the second coupling element along the coupling axis during a breakaway event.

A circuit breaker for a facility for handling pressurized fluid includes a male element and a female element. The male element includes a male body defining a first inner pipe, having a member for closing off the front end of the first pipe from at least one first radial passage of a movable valve, and a locking notch arranged on the male body. The female element includes a female body defining a second inner pipe and provided with at least one radial passage, a movable valve and several locking members movable between a first radial position, for the axial locking of the male and female bodies in the coupled configuration, and a second radial position, where the locking members free the passage of the male body in the female body. In the coupled configuration, the radial passages are in communication, while sealing gaskets cooperate radially with male and female bodies.

A coupling arrangement (100) for connecting thermally insulated, fluid-conducting lines (102, 104) has a coupling (101) comprising a first coupling part (106) and a second coupling part (108), and connecting means (110) for connecting the two coupling parts (106, 108). A covering (112) surrounding the coupling (101) is provided, which covering, on both sides of the coupling (101), in each case lies against the thermal insulation of the fluid-conducting lines (102, 104). A cavity (114) formed by the covering (112) is configured for thermal insulation between the coupling (101) and the exterior of the covering (112).

A safety joint capable of preventing a moment generated by swinging of a filling hose from acting on the safety joint when a tensile force more or equal to a predetermined value is applied to the filling hose. The safety joint includes a plug with a cylindrical shape in which a passage is formed, a socket in which a passage continuing to the passage in the plug is formed, and a shut off valve mounted on the passage in the socket. The shut off valve opens when the plug is inserted into the socket and closes when the plug is disconnected therefrom. Central axes of the passages of the plug and the socket form a straight line. A filling hose is connected to the plug, and a hose guide for limiting movement of the filling hose at a position separated from the plug.

A breakaway hydraulic coupler includes a coupler body assembly removably attachable to a fluid hydrant by a first lock member thereof. A sleeve assembly is connected to the coupler body assembly and includes a second lock member selectively movable into engagement with the first lock member to move the first lock member into locked position to attach the coupler body to the fluid hydrant. Upon an application of a load external to the hydraulic coupler exceeding a predetermined amount, the first lock member applies a sufficient force to the second lock member to cause a region of weakness of the second lock member to displace, allowing the first lock member to move to the unlocked position and the hydraulic coupler to detach from the hydrant.

The invention relates to a coupling for cryogenic liquefied media, said coupling comprising a coupling socket (10) and a coupling connector (30), which can be connected thereto, each being equipped with a non-return valve (15, 40). According to the invention, the coupling socket (10) comprises a front section (11), having means for connecting to the coupling connector (30), and a rear section (12), having the non-return valve (15). According to the invention, the front section (11) is connected to the rear section (12) by means of screws (33) having predetermined breaking points, which break upon exceeding a specified tensile stress. According to the invention, the sections (11, 12) separate from each other and the non-return valves (15, 40) automatically move to the closed position.

To provide a depressurizer with a function of depressurizing a filling hose separated from a filling device when a safety device (safety joint) operates (separates). A depressurizers (10, 11) according to the present invention are mounted to a filling hose (21) for filling hydrogen from a hydrogen filling apparatus (100) to a vehicle. In the present invention, it is preferable that on a main body portion (1) of the depressurizers (10, 11) is formed a depressurizing communication hole (1B) communicating with a hydrogen gas passage (1A); a plug (2) that can be inserted into the depressurizing communication hole (1B) is mounted; and on the depressurizing communication hole (1B) and the plug (2) are formed tapered portions (a pin tapered portion 2B of the plug 2 and a tapered portion 1BB of the depressurizing communication hole 1B) with complementary shapes.

A breakaway connector generally includes a first valve having a first rotating-type fluid control member, and a second valve that is attachable to the first valve and has a second rotating-type fluid control member. Each of the fluid control members has an open position in which fluid is permitted to flow through the respective valve, and a closed position in which fluid is prevented from flowing through the respective valve. Each one of the valves is configured to engage the fluid control member of the other one of the valves to move the fluid control member from the open position to the closed position upon detachment of the valves from one another.
