Systems and methods for early detection of pneumatic transport element leaks

A system for detecting a leak in a duct is disclosed, including a sheath covering a duct section, a fluid concentrating device and a sensor. The sheath is attached to a boundary portion of the duct section and forms an inner space between an outer surface of the duct section and the sheath. The fluid concentrating device has an opening through the sheath connecting the inner space to an external space outside the sheath. The inner space is sealed except for the opening through the sheath. The sensor is stationed outside the opening of the fluid concentrating device and is configured to detect fluid flow from the inner space through the opening at a level corresponding to a duct leak in a pre-burst condition.

CAP ASSEMBLY
20230081636 · 2023-03-16 ·

A cap assembly includes two caps each pivotable about an axis of a respective pivot rod between an open position and a closed position, the two pivot rods arranged adjacent each other with parallel pivot axes (B) to define a hinge region, each cap having a pivot end extending into the hinge region between the two pivot rods; and a common pivot mechanism arranged to push against the pivot ends, in response to actuation of the pivot mechanism, to pivot the caps substantially simultaneously to the closed position, the common pivot mechanism comprising: a lever; a cam in connection with the lever and located in the hinge region such that actuation of the lever causes movement of the cam in the hinge region along the direction of the pivot axes; a plunger located in the hinge region between the cam and the pivot ends.

11635164 · 2023-04-25 ·

A pipeline clamp cover has a body and a flange. The body has a front face in sealing engagement with at least one peripheral side wall such that an enclosure having a rear opening is formed. The flange is provided in sealing engagement with a bottom edge of the at least one peripheral side wall and extends outwards away from the body.

CONNECTOR COVER AND METHODS
20230060911 · 2023-03-02 ·

A removable cover to protect a connector between two conduits includes a single body having a wall surrounding an interior volume. The body has a neck sized to grip a portion of a first of the conduits. The body has a size-adjustable section to permit the body to be shortened or lengthened. The body has a casing section. The casing section protects a coupling connecting together the two conduits.

Cover
11644137 · 2023-05-09 · ·

A cover for a connector, wherein the cover is adapted to be locateable over at least a portion of the connector, and wherein the connector has a fluid pathway formed therethrough. The connector has a first portion and a second portion, and wherein, when the cover is located over the portion of the connector, ingress of impurities into the fluid pathway is prevented.

Push-in Tube Connector Port

A push-in tube connector port for connecting a tube to a pressurized fluid system is provided. The push-in port includes a central recess for receiving the tube, a sealing arrangement inside of the recess, a locking ring engaged within the recess, and a tube gripping ring having an inwardly directed gripping edge. The locking ring has a U-shaped cross-section. A number of circumferentially distributed slots subdivides an outer ring wall of the locking ring into a number of outer ring wall portions configured to be elastically deflected towards the center by the flange of an insertion end opening, when the annular double ring component is pressed into the recess, and to elastically flex back outwardly once the outer ring wall portions have passed the flange such that an upper edge of each of the outer ring wall portions engages an inner surface of the flange to secure the locking ring in the recess.

COUPLER DOOR PUSH BUTTON RELEASE FOR AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE

A locking assembly for a door assembly of an agricultural vehicle includes: an actuator that defines an actuator axis and is linearly movable between a first position and a second position and rotatable about the actuator axis between a first locking orientation and a second locking orientation and includes a pair of locking features; a biaser configured to bias the actuator toward the first position; an energizer configured to bias the actuator toward the first locking orientation when the actuator is in the second locking orientation; and a lock configured to engage a second locking feature when the actuator is in the second locking orientation. Linear movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position while the actuator is in the second locking orientation causes the lock to disengage from the second locking feature so the energizer rotates the actuator towards the first locking orientation.

Tube Connector
20170336004 · 2017-11-23 ·

A tube connector for attachment to an end of a tube of a pressurized fluid system has a housing, a main sealing element, a gripping element and a cone element. The main sealing element is arranged for sealing an inner surface of the housing to an outer surface of a tube. The gripping element comprises a gripping edge for engaging with an outer surface of a tube. The cone element limits a movement of the grip-ping element. The tube connector further has an integrated release element. The release element has a tubular part, a top part and an environmental sealing. A release edge of the tubular part engages with the gripping element and the environmental sealing is adapted for sealing a receptacle formed in the housing of the environment.

MAGNETIC QUICK CONNECT
