Exhaust lining having a connecting element
11566556 · 2023-01-31 · ·

An exhaust lining for an exhaust system of a motor vehicle has a first connecting element clamped between a first and second pipe. The first pipe forms a tailpipe. The second pipe forms a tailpipe cover. The tailpipe cover has a tubular inner part held on by means of the first connecting element which clings onto the first pipe via by means of a lever mechanism. A load arm of the lever mechanism, having the distance A, is shorter than an effort arm, having the distance B. The length of the effort arm is precisely defined, because the end of the effort arm lies against the first pipe via a punctiform contact area. A first contact surface of a clamping spring is designed offset from the longitudinal extent of a main body of the first connecting element to save space in the longitudinal direction of the main body.

System and method for a connector assembly in an aircraft
11691741 · 2023-07-04 · ·

An environmental control system for an aircraft includes a first conduit, a second conduit, and a connector assembly. The connector assembly is coupled to the first conduit and the second conduit for controlling a flow of air. The connector assembly includes a connector, a connector ring, and an orifice plate. The connector includes at least one wall including a ridge defining a receptacle and a connector slot defined within the ridge. The connector ring is attached to the connector and defines a connector ring slot and a covering portion. The connector ring slot aligns with the connector slot and the orifice plate is inserted into through the connector ring slot and the connector slot into the receptacle during installation of the orifice plate. The covering portion covers the connector slot and retains the orifice plate within the receptacle during operation of the environmental control system.

A connector includes a jaw used to connect a connection element and a wellhead designed to better distribute tensions on the contact surfaces of the teeth thereof, including, for example, having contact surfaces with differentiated angles and differentiated spacing, resulting evened tensions on the contact surfaces of the teeth.

SINGLE-USE DISCONNECT FLUID COUPLINGS
20230043058 · 2023-02-09 ·

Some fluid coupling devices described herein are configured for use in fluid systems for purposes of providing a single-use, disconnection functionality that can substantially limit fluid spillage when being disconnected. In some embodiments, the coupling portions cannot be functionally reconnected to each other after being disconnected from each other.

Universal quick disconnect

Couplings are disclosed herein. A plug of a coupling includes a plug body and a socket interface coupled to the plug body. The socket interface includes a shoulder extending axially outward from the plug body, a neck extending axially outward and radially inward from the shoulder, and a socket guide extending axially outward and radially outward from the neck.
