Автор: Spencer Nicholson
Принадлежит: PARKER HANNIFIN LTD

A coupling for attaching to an end of a tube, pipe, conduit or other round solid or hollow section. The coupling includes an inner body and a collar to be provided around the inner body. The inner body has an interior bore passing through at least a portion thereof to receive a tube and the bore has one or more interior annular protuberances extending into the bore. When the collar is provided around the inner body it applies a circumferential compressive force to deform the inner body such that the one or more annular protuberances engage the tube or the like to seal with it.

Tool for coupling fluid lines

Номер: US20130093184A1
Автор: John M. Peirce
Принадлежит: American Grease Stick Co

A swage or coupling tool is provided for use in coupling a fluid line to a compression fitting, a fluid coupler, or the like. The swage tool provides multiple degrees of freedom and/or multiple pivots or pivot joints to facilitate and maintain alignment of the jaws with the compression fitting during use of the swage tool to facilitate properly-aligned assembly of the compression fitting, and to limit bending or kinking of the fluid line when the fitting is being attached. The swage tool includes a pair of movable jaws, which may have stepped or rounded engagement surfaces, which may be forced against corresponding engagement surfaces of the compression fitting to securely assemble the fitting to the fluid line. The shape of the engagement surfaces facilitates properly-aligned assembly of the compression fitting, and limits bending or kinking of the fluid line when the fitting is being attached.

A mounting device facilitates connecting an Internet of Things (IoT) device, such as thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) and automatic temperature balanced actuator (ABA), to a hydronic heating/cooling system to control the temperature of a room by changing the flow of hot/cold water through radiator. The mounting devices includes a male section and a female section, which is attached to the IoT device. The mounting device may be installed in two stages. First, a male section is attached to a component of the hydronic heating/cooling system (for example, a valve or manifold) by threading the male section onto the component. Second, a female section, is positioned to male section and locked into place by releasing a sliding sleeve. The female section (with the IoT device) may be easily removed by retracting the sliding sleeve.

A fluid connector assembly includes a connector body receiving a tubular member locked in place by a retainer clap carried on the connector body. An assurance cap mounted over the tubular member is movable to a forward most latched position on the connector body relative to the tubular member only when the tubular member is in the fully inserted, latched position in the connector body. The assurance cap body includes a plurality of alternating primary latch fingers and step fingers respectively engageable with a recess groove in the connector body and a raised surface on the tubular member. Secondary latches can include an inner support ring carried on the assurance cap body having an inner end engageable with a raised surface on the tubular member when the primary latched fingers are engaged with the recessed groove in the connector body. 1. A fluid connector assembly comprising:a tubular member having an endform spaced from a first insertion end defining a radially disposed shoulder;a connector body having a bore with one open end receiving the tubular member;a retainer clip carried on the connector body and extending partially into the bore to engage the shoulder of the tubular member to lock the tubular member in the connector body when an insertion end of the tubular member is fully inserted into the bore in the connector body;an assurance cap slidably mounted relative to the tubular member, the assurance cap defining an annular body with a plurality of primary latch fingers with end projections configured for latching in a recessed groove in the connector body spaced from one end of the connector body to latch the assurance cap on the connector body only when the tubular member is fully inserted into the connector body; anda secondary latch carried on the assurance cap body for engaging one of the retainer clip and the tubular member to secondarily latch the assurance cap to the tubular member and only when the tubular is fully inserted into the bore in the ...

The fluid connector assembly includes a connector body with an intermediate portion that extends between opposite end portions and has a first bore. The connector body has an elongated wall that projects outwardly from the intermediate portion and that surrounds a second bore which opens to the first bore. A flat tube, which is made of a second material that is different than the first material and has at least one fluid passage, is in fluid communication with the second bore of the connector body. The flat tube has generally flat side walls and is lockingly retained with the connector body by male and female locking structures that cooperate with one another. 1. A fluid connector assembly , comprising:a connector body made of a first material, said connector body having a tubular intermediate portion that extends between opposite end portions, and said connector body having a first bore which extends through said intermediate portion;said connector body having an elongated wall that projects outwardly from said intermediate portion and that surrounds a second bore which opens to said first bore;a flat tube made of second material that is different than said first material, said flat tube having at least one fluid passage in fluid communication with said second bore of said connector body, and flat said tube having generally flat side walls; andmale and female locking structures cooperating with one another outside of said second bore to lockingly retain said flat tube with said connector body.2. The fluid connector assembly as set forth in wherein said connector body is made of plastic and said flat tube is made of metal.3. The fluid connector assembly as set forth in wherein said male locking structures are locking tabs and said female locking structures are locking are locking arms with openings shaped to receive said locking tabs.4. The fluid connector assembly as set forth in wherein said locking tabs are disposed on said flat side walls of said flat tube and ...
