A utility coupler that includes a coupling unit and a tool unit that can be selectively engaged together. The coupling unit may include a body, a cam member, a handle, and one or more utility couplings. The tool unit may include a body, a latching pin, and one or more utility couplings. In operation, the coupling unit may be placed into a decoupled position with the handle in a first position. The coupling unit may be moved into proximity of the tool unit. The handle may be moved to a second position causing the cam member to engage with the latching pin and couple the coupling unit to the tool unit. The utility couplings engage together to pass the one or more utilities to the industrial equipment.

A substantially ring-shaped clamp has a first clamp body component joined to a second clamp body component in a manner permitting the first clamp body component to pivot relative to the second clamp body component. A shaft extends from the first clamp body component such that the shaft is able to pivot relative to the first clamp body component. The shaft has a free end that is receivable within and removable from a pocket formed in the second clamp body component. A cam-lever is connected to the first clamp body component in a manner permitting the cam-lever to pivot relative to the first clamp body component. The shaft may be a threadless shaft, and the clamp may be self-locking, adjustable, and/or have a relatively smooth outer periphery.

A coupling system having an inner tube, a collar, a circular gasket concentrically disposed between the inner tube and the collar; a pair of CAM levers structurally engageable with the collar, and a handle connecting the pair of CAM levers such that a user can single-handedly move the handle between the locked position and the unlocked position.

A tool-less joiner clamp includes a hinged circular body having a forward mating flange and an aft mating flange configured to selectively attach to a forward section flange and an aft section flange of an underwater vehicle, respectively. The forward mating flange has a threaded inner diameter configured to integrate with a threaded outer diameter of the forward section flange, such that rotating the joiner clamp about the forward section flange causes the clamp to move in an axial direction. Also included is a cam lock for selectively closing and tightening the tool-less joiner clamp onto the forward and aft section flanges of the vehicle and may include a quick release mechanism for opening the cam lock. The clamp may also include collapsible handles, and multiple buttons configured to press against a flat surface of the aft mating flange when the joiner clamp is rotated about the forward section flange.

Method and apparatus for an improved camlock fitting having outer/inner cam lever which are restrained against unintended opening or rotation by a pivoting locking member which is pivotally mounted onto an axle disposed in a corresponding hole on the cam levers so that the pivoting locking member can be easily pivoted in the vertical plane relative to the cam arms. Each of the outer and inner arms has a pivoting locking member mounted on its underside in a protective housing. The camlock fitting may also have an air vent. Together this provides a safety lock assembly for the cam lock fitting so that when the cam lock fitting is pressurized unbeknownst to the operator and the operator attempts to open the cam lock fitting, the safety lock assembly will prevent operation or complete separation of the male and the female portions of the fitting to prevent inadvertent pressurized discharge of hazardous materials.
