A push to connect fitting includes a body member adapted to receive a conduit end, a conduit comprising a first end that can be axially inserted into the body member and a conduit gripping device attached to an exterior surface of the conduit, and a retainer that retains the conduit in place when said conduit is fully inserted into the body member. Additional embodiments include providing a seal with the fitting that seals the exterior surface of the conduit, an optional load retaining sleeve for the conduit gripping device, and an optional gimbal. The push to connect aspect may be realized in the form of a single action unthreaded mechanical connection.

A hose connection for tubes of automated analyser systems transferring mediums like liquid fluids. The invention provides A connector for a hose transferring a medium, consisting of an inner part, wherein the inner part comprises at a first end a first section comprising an opening for accommodating a hose and a second section comprising a duct arranged between an inner base of the opening for the hose and a second end of the inner part that is opposite of the first end, wherein the first section has a greater outer diameter than the second section; and an outer part, wherein the outer part comprises a thread surrounding the second section and a grip surrounding the first section, wherein the outer part is fixed rotational movable around the inner part between a flange at the inner part's second end the first section with the greater outer diameter

A pipe fitting configured to be coupled to a pipe. The pipe fitting includes a body that is elongate along a central axis that extends in a longitudinal direction. The body includes a shell, a stiffener, and a shell-stiffener. The shell includes a shell inner surface that defines a shell through hole that extends through the shell in the longitudinal direction. The stiffener is positioned within the shell through hole, and the stiffener includes a stiffener outer surface that faces the shell inner surface such that the stiffener outer surface and the shell inner surface cooperate to define a pocket configured to receive the pipe. A shell-stiffener seal member is positioned about the stiffener such that a seal member inner surface is substantially flush against the stiffener outer surface and a seal member outer surface abuts against the shell inner surface.

The inventive system and method advantageously enable superior preserved storage and selective dispensation of liquids by storing wine (or other liquids) in a pressurized environment to ensure that the stored liquid does not come into contact with air, and then by selectively dispensing a portion of the stored liquid, in accordance with a desired dispensing regime, by utilizing a controlled source of pressure force to apply a sufficient pressure to the pressurized environment to expel the desired volume of the liquid in a pressurized stream directed to a dispensing/pouring interface through a conduit or equivalent delivery system. In at least several novel embodiments thereof, the system and method of the present invention are configured for use with wine-in-bag (“WinB”) products.

A conveying device for use in the field of plastics has a frame and a weighing cell connected to the frame. A separating unit is suspended from the weighing cell. A first coupling is connected to the frame and connects a vacuum source to the separating unit. A second coupling is connected to the frame and connects a conveying line for goods to be conveyed to the separating unit. At least one of the first coupling and the second coupling has a first coupling part connected to the separating unit and a second coupling part connected to the frame, wherein the first and the second coupling parts do not contact each other in a region of no contact. At least one sealing element is provided to seal the region of no contact between the first and the second coupling parts.

A connection socket for a tubular connection includes a socket cup having a metal alloy composition and a sealing portion. A primary seal is positioned within the sealing portion. The primary seal includes an elastomeric material having a service temperature. One or more spacer rings are positioned within the sealing portion. A secondary seal is positioned within the sealing portion. The secondary seal includes a metal composition, wherein the secondary seal has a melting temperature at or above the service temperature of the primary seal. One or more locking rings are positioned within the sealing portion, wherein each of the one or more locking rings comprises a biting feature defined along an internal circumference of the locking ring.

A plumbing fitting couplable with a free-end portion of a pipe. The fitting has a chamber with an opening, and an end bushing with an interior opening sized to receive the pipe free-end portion. An inward seal and gripper ring within the chamber seal with and releasably grip the pipe free-end portion. An anti-intrusion outward seal is positionable within the end bushing interior opening in fluid-tight engagement with an end bushing interior wall portion and the free-end portion of the pipe when positioned within the end bushing interior opening to prevent contaminants reaching an interior portion of the chamber containing the gripper ring and inward seal.

Stab-type pipe fittings capable of being inserted onto plastic pipes are provided. The pipe fittings have an outer casing with pipe ports, a hollow inner casing positioned within the outer casing, a pipe gripper and stiffener positioned within the inner casing. The pipe ports have an elongated lip that straightens a pipe inserted into the fitting. The stiffener provides a multi-compression seal to facilitate the leak proof connection.

A push-to-connect coupling with integrated filtration is disclosed. In one aspect, the coupling comprises a tube support, a collet and a filter element. The coupling may include a seal. The coupling connects to a cavity, which may be a portable fitting. The cavity may be a connection on a separate device or system, such as an air tank or other devices. The filter element may be dome-shaped. The tube support is easily assembled with the cavity, for example by threading, to capture the filter element. The tube is connected to the coupling by pushing the tube over the tube support and through the collet. The collet interacts with a reduced diameter section of the cavity to apply a clamping force from the collet on the tube and secure the tube in place. The tube is easily removed from the cavity simply by pushing the collet farther into the cavity to remove the clamping force on the tube, and then pulling the tube out.
