An overmolding method for forming joints in a fluid-flow apparatus utilizes a connector or fitting as a component for mold forming. The connector or fitting is not removed after the overmolding and thus forms part of the joint assembly.

A water passing component, a laser welding device and a welding method thereof are presented. The water passing component comprises a hose and a hose joint, the hose joint and the hose matched and connected to form a connecting and matching position. The connecting and matching position can be melted under laser beams to weld the hose and the hose joint into a whole; the width of a gap of a weld matching surface corresponding to the connecting and matching position is less than 0.075 mm. The present invention melts the connecting and matching position using the laser welding technology to weld the hose and the hose joint into a whole. The transparency of the hose and the hose joint is not limited, and there is no requirement for the transparency of the hose and the hose joint, thereby reducing production cost, increasing production efficiency and expanding use.

A fitting for use in fusion welding mating thermoplastic components includes a weld bead chamber to capture and conceal a bead formed as a result of the fusion weld. The weld bead chamber integrates the bead into the fitting so that the joined parts have a finished look without mechanical polishing or grinding of the completed piece. A stop ledge included in the weld bead chamber prevents over insertion of a pipe or other component into the fitting. A view window in the fitting permits inspection of the finished bead.

The invention relates to an injection molding device for manufacturing tubes having an internal thread, having a tool that forms an article cavity, having means for filling the article cavity with a thermoplastic molding compound, having an injection device for injecting a fluid toward a projectile to be driven through the article cavity, wherein the injection device comprises a projectile carrier having at least one injection nozzle and having at least one projectile receptacle for a projectile as a displacement member for the molding compound, wherein the projectile carrier at an end that is remote from the projectile receptacle is provided with a thread-bearing stamping core which is adjustable relative to the projectile carrier between a thread-forming first position and a demolded second position, wherein the stamping core in the thread-forming position plunges into the article cavity and seals the latter.

An overmolding method for forming joints in a fluid-flow apparatus utilizes a connector or fitting as a component for mold forming. The connector or fitting is not removed after the overmolding and thus forms part of the joint assembly.

A fluid interaction device for establishing an interaction with a fluid, particularly a brake fluid or a fuel fluid. A housing member accommodates a fluid interaction portion. The fluid interaction portion is adapted to interact with a fluid within the housing member. The housing member further comprises a connection portion which can be connected to a fluid supply element. The connection portion is formed as a weldable, tubular end portion so that the housing member can be connected to a joining portion of the fluid supply element by means of a welded joint.

T Split Hose, the Y Split Hose and the Cross Split hoses manufactured for the purpose of specialized pool couplings for easier maintenance. The device allows for the simple coupling through the threaded ends of new devices made for the same style and circumference of threads. Furthermore, water chlorinators, saltwater systems, and solar water heaters may be added and easily serviced with the use of the T Split Hose, Y Split Hose, and Cross Split hose.

A pipe processing apparatus, for forming branches on pipes made of thermoplastic material, including a base adapted to be fastened to the outer wall of a pipe and a supporting structure which extends from the base; a support member is slidingly associated with the supporting structure and is adapted to receive an interchangeable processing/handling means configured to interact with the pipe; the apparatus also includes a movement means which engages the support member in order to move it on command along a processing axis. The supporting structure includes a single elongated structural element.

A wrap-around heat shrinkable protective jacket is used on conduits such as cables, pipes or tubes carrying liquids, gas or electricity to name a few. The protective jacket is applicable to junction blocks, junction tees and wire harnesses and to protect or repair damaged areas of such configurations. A lay-flat design is used to easily install around existing cables, pipes or tubes. A shrinkable material is used to secure and protect these cables, pipes or tubes. Other materials can be added to the jacket interior for additional protection.

A machine for welding saddle connectors by polywelding, during pipe laying, includes a base which extends in a first direction, a clamp which can move along the base in the first direction, a bracket mounting means for detachably coupling the machine to a pipe arranged transversely to the first direction, and a means for detachably coupling the base to the bracket mounting means.
