The present invention relates to a connection device for plastic pipe elements (1) which allows performing pre-assembly and being finally assembled without requiring skilled labor, comprising a pipe element (1) having at least one end, a plastic connection element (2) which is connected to an outer surface of said pipe element (1) through said end, which comprises a resistance wire (3) wound on the outer surface of the pipe element (1) itself.

A coupling component (60,30) having a first end (61,71) and a second end (66,76), the component having a longitudinal axis between the first end and the second end, the first end of the component comprising a first tubular portion (62,71) having a first internal diameter adapted to form a sliding fit with a first pipe section, and a first seal adapted such that the first end can be sealed in use to the first pipe section; the second end having a second diameter or cross-sectional area which is larger than the first diameter and wherein the second end incorporates a flange (67,77), wherein at least part of the face of said flange is in a plane substantially non-perpendicular to, or offset from, the longitudinal axis of the component.

Fittings to join and tightly seal tubes such as plastic tubes used in but not limited to various plumbing applications. The fittings allow for rigorous and non-destructive tests of the integrity of seals, where the integrity of seals can be readily and quickly tested one by one, as a pipe system is being built. The seals can also be tested again, after installation and completion of the plumbing arrangement. The fitting comprises two pairs of sealing zones, each pair having in between sealing zones a pressure testing chamber with an inlet, which allows for pressurizing the chamber and testing the integrity of the adjacent seals. The fittings have a series of cold zones that enhance flexibility and integrity of the fittings.

The invention relates to a method for producing a plug-in connector, and to a plug-in connector comprising a first tubular component and a second tubular component, and also a first connection geometry and a second connection geometry. A method for producing a plug-in connector is to be made available that permits an easier modification of the relative angle between the longitudinal axes of the two components in the finished plug-in connector. To this end, the two connection geometries are arranged in a connection plane inclined with respect to the longitudinal axes, such that the relative angle between the longitudinal axes can be modified by rotating the components. After a relative angle has been selected, the two connection geometries are connected by integral bonding.

A pipe adapter includes a first tubular element, a second tubular element, and an annular securing member disposed around and fixed to a second portion of the first tubular element. The annular securing member has a flange portion that contacts and secures the second tubular element axially relative to the first tubular element while also allowing the second tubular element to rotate relative to the first tubular element and the annular securing member. An annular sealing member is located around the first portion of the second tubular element to provide an axial seal along the adapter.

According to one embodiment a plug-in connector is provided that includes a female connector and a male connector. The female connector includes a head configured for being connected to the male connector and a body fixed to the head which is configured for being attached to a pipe/hose. A contact area comprising a line of contact communicated with the inside of the female connector is defined between the head and the body. The plug-in connector also includes a sealing gasket configured for assuring leak-tightness between the female connector and the male connector, the line of contact being arranged in a previous axial position with respect to at least part of the sealing gasket in the direction of insertion of the male connector into the female connector, such that the sealing gasket itself also assures the leak-tightness in the line of contact.

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.

A pipe coupler (30) comprises: an axis (500); a body portion (70) surrounding the axis; a circumferentially segmented collar (72) extending from a first axial end of the body portion and having an inner diameter surface (80) and an outer diameter surface (82); and a plurality of fingers (90) projecting from a second axial end of the body portion, axially opposite the first end and having inward radial projections (96).

An aluminum profile injection bonding method including a product preparation operation of manufacturing a plurality of aluminum profiles to be bonded in accordance with a product design, a mold preparation operation of manufacturing a mold designed in accordance with the aluminum profiles prepared through the product preparation operation, a seating operation of seating the plurality of aluminum profiles to be bonded in the mold in a state of being in contact with each other, and an injection filling operation of constructing the aluminum profiles to be bonded in an integrated form by filling contact portions of the aluminum profiles with an injection molded material through the mold.

A sealed fluidic component for use in a fluidic flow path is made by providing a composite material comprising a first material and a second material, wherein the first material and the second material are different PAEK materials with the first material having a lower melting point than the second material. The composite material is heated to provide a sealing by the first material.
