A seal cover for closing an annular opening portion having locking projections provided on an outer peripheral surface includes a fitting portion having a seal ring (example of a sealing member) fit on an outer peripheral surface and locking portions configured to be pushed and resiliently deformed by the locking projections and move over the locking projections to be locked to the locking projections when the fitting portion is fit into the opening portion. Tapered surfaces for delaying a time point when the locking portions are maximally resiliently deformed from a time point when the seal ring is maximally compressed when the fitting portion is fit and inserted into the opening portion are formed on front end parts of the locking portions in a connecting direction.

Provided is a liquid supply device including: a plug having a plug side liquid channel; a socket having a socket side liquid channel; a hand configured to grip the socket and arrange the socket in a predetermined attitude at a three-dimensional position within the motion range; and an image capturing unit configured to recognize the orientation of the plug axis of the plug. The hand grips the socket so that the socket and the plug are in an attitude where the orientation of a socket axis matches the orientation of the plug axis recognized by the image capturing unit, and the socket gripped by the hand is inserted in the plug to couple the socket side liquid channel to the plug side liquid channel.

Aspects of the disclosure provide for a method and apparatus for installing and removing a plug retainer that may be used in a fluid end hydraulic system.

The invention relates to a sealing device for cylindrical or conical orifices, which is composed of an elongate sealing body made from elastically deformable material, the following components being provided for the deformation of the sealing body: a tension bolt extending through the middle, free passage region of the sealing body, a pressure sleeve seated at the inner end of the tension bolt, a brace which is arranged at the outer end of the tension bolt and through which the tension bolt engages, and an actuation element which acts upon the outer end, projecting through the brace, of the tension bolt and which, when a tensile force is exerted upon the tension bolt, enlarges the sealing body and at the same time its outer circumference.
