A clamping device suitable for securing a pair of flanges together is a unitary strip of a polymeric material that defines a multiplicity of clamping segments linked by flexible strip portions. The ends of the unitary strip define latching elements shaped to interconnect when the ends are brought together. Along one face of the unitary strip the clamping segments define teeth that project at opposite sides of the unitary strip, and these teeth define faces that are adapted in use to contact outer faces of the pair of flanges. Each clamping segments may define two opposing teeth. The clamping device can be operated with a single hand, being bent around the outside of the pair of flanges so that the clamping segments engage opposite faces of the pair of flanges and hold them together, and the latching elements are interconnected.

A quick connector is disclosed comprising a receptacle having first and second channels formed on opposite sides of the exterior of the receptacle. A flange includes a retainer mounting part fixed on a first end of the flange. A first pair of clamping jaws extends from a second end of the flange with each clamping jaw of the first pair of clamping jaws accepted into a respective receptacle first and second channel, clasping the receptacle to the flange. The clamped bracket retainer and receptacle are then guided to have a tube inserted into an interior passage of the receptacle and the bracket retainer is attached to a rigid structure using a fastening arrangement that retains the quick connector receptacle and endform in a connected state.

A fluid dispensing apparatus includes an actuator body with an actuator and a valve stem coupled for movement with the actuator, and a fluid body having a fluid chamber capable of fluid communication with an outlet. The valve stem is adapted to extend from the actuator body into the fluid chamber for dispensing fluid from the fluid chamber through the outlet. A quick connect member is provided to selectively fully engage and disengage a first coupling element on the actuator body with a second coupling element on the fluid body, to connect and disconnect the actuator body and the fluid body with respect to each other. The quick connect member advantageously connects or disconnects these bodies without requiring disassembly or dismounting of the bodies from other elements associated with the fluid dispensing apparatus, with a simple manual movement such as a sliding linear continuous movement.

The invention relates to a part (2) for coaxial connection of two tubes (3 and 4), characterised in that it comprises two connection portions (6, 7) each provided with an area for receiving a connection element (31, 41) of each tube (3, 4), and in that the two connection portions (6, 7) are capable of sliding inside one another, between a separated position of the two portions (6, 7) and a tightened position of the two portions (6, 7) in which the two receiving areas form a closed contour and are capable of holding the connection elements (31, 41) together.

A connection structure for water input/output ports of a booster pump, that is used to connect to an outside pipeline through the water input/output ports of the booster pump, comprising: a fixing tube, formed integrally with an outer shell of the booster pump, and having a window hole on a side wall of the fixing tube; an insertion tube, with one end of the insertion tube connected to an outside pipeline, with one other end of the insertion tube inserted in the fixing tube, while a fastening slot is provided on a side wall of the insertion tube; and a fastening pin, inserted into the fixing tube to act in cooperation with the fastening slot, and when the insertion tube is inserted in the fixing tube, the fastening pin fixes and restricts the position of the insertion tube.

An assembly, connector and process for a quick connector is disclosed that includes a receptacle having first and second interior passages including a chamber in fluid communication between the first and second passages. A flow control insert is installed in the chamber to regulate fluid flow between the first and the second passage.

Provided is a quick connector assembly for joining a male member and a female connector member together to secure fluid communication in a fluid line system. The quick connector assembly includes a primary latch and a secondary latch configured to toggle between engaged and disengaged positions and to allow for a visual, audible, and/or tactile indication as to the status of a secure attachment between a male member and a female connector member.

A tamper-evident cover for a component, the component comprising: first and second portions; and an actuator mechanism for moving the first and second portions or allowing the first and second portions to move relative to one another; wherein the cover comprises: a cover portion defining a cavity configured to receive the actuator mechanism of the component so as to prevent access to the actuator mechanism from the exterior of the cover portion; and a retention barb connected to the cover portion and housed within the cavity formed by the cover portion such that it is inaccessible from the exterior of the cover portion, the retention barb being configured to engage with the component so as to retain the cover portion over the actuator mechanism.

An improved quick connector with code verification is provided. The quick connector includes a connector body, a connector sleeve, and a sliding lock latch. The connector body includes a verification indicia on its outer surface, and the connector sleeve is movable over the connector body and includes an indicator window that aligns with the verification indicia. The sliding lock latch is moveable from an unlatched position to a latched position through transverse openings in the connector sleeve and the connector body. The sliding lock latch includes first and second wing elements to prevent clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation of the connector sleeve relative to the connector body. The sliding lock latch also includes a locking tab on its outer surface to prevent retraction of the connector sleeve from the connector body.

A retainer for a fluid connection assembly, including a first end, a second end, a first section, a second section displaceable with respect to the first section, a radially inward facing surface, a radially outward facing surface, and an indicator slidably connected to the first section.
