The stem (2) comprises a tubular body with a main axis (31) with an inlet and a connector for attachment to the keg at one end. The second end of the stem opposite to the first end has an outlet in fluid communication with the inner outlet port (12) and comprises a ball joint (61) rotatably mounted in and sealed with respect to the main body (1) so as to be rotatable (12) about the main axis (31) of the tubular body and rotatable (67, 68) to a limited extent about axes perpendicular to the main axis.
Holding element and terminal connector having such a holding element
A holding element for a terminal connector, having at least one socket part and at least one plug part, wherein the plug part can be inserted or is inserted in a socket portion of the socket part. The holding element can be plugged or is plugged onto the plug part for detachably holding the plug part in the socket part. The holding element has a holding element body, holding arms having latching lugs that are directed inwards with respect to the holding element, holding arms having latching lugs that are directed outwards with respect to the holding element, and axially on both sides, has an uninterrupted, continuous edge on the end side. The holding arms each have a free end that is spring-elastically movable in the radial direction, and an end opposite thereof that is fixed to the holding element body.
CONNECTION DEVICE BETWEEN A PIPE AND A BASE
A connection device for connecting at least one pipe and a base and topped by a collar comprises a connection end piece for fluidly connecting the pipe to the base and a retaining ring for keeping the connection end piece assembled with the base. The connection end piece comprises a tubular body and at least one first retaining element. The retaining ring comprises an annular body provided with a second retaining element engaging with the first retaining element to retain the retaining ring on the connection end piece. The retaining ring also comprises at least one locking tab integral with the annular body in order to grip the collar and keep the retaining ring assembled with the base.
Equipment for connecting fluid conveying pipes
Connection equipment for a fluid transport circuit, the equipment comprising both a connection device (1) and also a disconnection tool (50) for disconnecting the device, the connection device comprising a tubular body (2) having at least one end segment (2.1) in which a tubular insert (100) is engaged in leaktight and removable manner, the insert being for connection to a duct (T) and including an external projection (104) extending into a housing of the body, the body including at least one a retaining tab (3) that is elastically deformable between a projecting position in which it projects into the housing, and a retracted position. The tool has two lifting ramps (55) and the body has two transverse passages (4) opening out both to the outside of the body and also into the housing on either side of the retaining tab in order to enable the lifting ramps to be inserted into the housing under the sides of the retaining tab (3) in order to bring the retaining tab into its retracted position and allow the tubular insert to be extracted.
COUPLING CONNECTOR WITH AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED RETAINER
A coupling connector has a coupling body as well as a plug lock. The plug lock comprises a retainer and a verifier, wherein the plug lock can be inserted into the coupling body in a radial direction. The verifier has two legs and a back, wherein the ends of the legs facing away from the back are allocated to a bottom of the coupling body. If a coupling plug is inserted into the coupling connector, the plug lock is automatically transferred from a disengaged position into an engaged position. The coupling connector is designed in such a way that bottom-side ends of the legs retain their distance to each other while being deflected by the coupling plug.
Quick connect coupling devices for fluid carriers
A coupling device is provided for mounting on a bib of a faucet to releasably secure a hose or some other component to the bib. The coupling device includes an engagement surface, a gasket ring, a clamp assembly and a locking assembly. The coupling device is configured so that the clamp assembly can be actuated to mount the coupling device on the bib. The gasket ring is configured to be compressed between the engagement surface and the bib to enable liquid to flow from the bib into the coupling device and out of it into the hose or other component without leakage. The locking assembly is configured to lock the coupling device on the bib, but is releasable when desired to dismount the coupling device from the bib.
Coupling element for connecting a first fluid-conducting line to a second fluid-conducting line, and coupling assembly
The application relates to a coupling element for connecting a first fluid-conducting line to a second fluid-conducting line. Here it is provided that an indicator device is mounted on a latching device and has a retaining element which can be elastically deflected in the radial direction relative to a guide element of the indicator device and which in a latched position engages in the latch receiving area and secures the indicator device in the axial direction by interacting with a main part and in a non-latched position lies outside the latch receiving area and releases the indicator device to move in the axial direction. The invention additionally relates to a coupling assembly.
Releasable connect/disconnect fitting connection
A connection to releasably connect and disconnect to a pipe to a fitting provides a pipe fitting body for receiving a pipe and a retaining ring located within the fitting body for retaining and releasing the pipe. The retaining ring has axially extending resilient retaining tabs, each of which has a radially inwardly extending portion for engaging the pipe, and, a radially outwardly extending portion which extends through corresponding radial openings in the fitting body. When the pipe is inserted into the fitting body to an inserted position and the retaining ring is in the first locked axial position, the radially inwardly extending portions engage and retain the pipe in the inserted position. Relative axial movement of the retaining ring with respect to the fitting body from the first locked axial position to a second unlocked axial position causes the radially outwardly extending portions to operatively engage the corresponding body radial openings to resiliently radially outwardly deform each resilient retaining tab thereby disengaging the radially inwardly extending portions from the pipe and permitting removal of the pipe from the inserted position.
COMPACT AND DEMOUNTABLE FLUID CONNECTION DEVICE
A connection device for connecting a tubular connector to equipment comprises: a connection end fitting formed by a tubular body and a head mounted thereon, the head being provided with an opening leading into the tubular body and comprising a retaining groove; a flexible lock, which has an annular shape and is intended to be partially received in the retaining groove, the lock being provided with lugs extending radially toward the center of the lock, wherein the flexible lock is deformable and the lugs can close on the tubular connector and abut against the collar when the tubular connector is introduced into the connection end fitting; an unlocking ring having a collar for insertion into the connection end fitting, the collar including unlocking elements for interacting with the flexible lock to force the opening thereof when the unlocking ring is rotated.
