| 20120104746 | QUICK CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY - A quick connector assembly that provides fluid communication between a first conduit and a second conduit. The quick connector assembly includes a housing and a retainer. The housing has a first end that connects with the first conduit, has a second end that connects with the second conduit, and has a fluid passage that extends between the first and second ends. The retainer is carried by the housing and has a portion located in the fluid passage of the housing. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120056420 | CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY - A connector assembly that provides fluid communication between a first conduit and a second conduit. The connector assembly includes a first coupler, a retainer, and a second coupler. The retainer is carried by the first coupler. The second coupler has a groove. When the first and second couplers are brought together, they fluidly communicate with each other and the retainer is received with the groove so that the first and second couplers are prevented from unintentionally coming apart. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20120018999 | GASKETED PIPE CLAMP - A pipe clamp that includes a band having an inner surface defining a first channel segment located inwardly of first and second axial ends of the band, a tightening mechanism for drawing first and second circumferential ends of the band toward each other to tighten the band, and a bridge abutting the inner surface and circumferentially spanning a break in the first channel segment that is located at the tightening mechanism, The bridge has a second channel segment aligned with the first channel segment such that the first and second channel segments together define a substantially continuous circular channel located at an interior portion of the clamp. The pipe clamp further includes a gasket seated at least partially within the channel. The bridge can be attached to a reaction block used in the tightening mechanism to maintain proper position during tightening of the band. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20110210546 | PIPE CLAMP WITH SLEEVE AND GASKET - A pipe clamp that includes a band, tightening mechanism for the band, a split sleeve within the band, and gasket located inside a circumferential channel in the split sleeve. The split sleeve includes a tongue-and-groove joint in which said tongue has at least one side edge that confronts and engages a side edge of the groove during penetration of the tongue into the groove in response to tightening of the outer band using the fastening mechanism. This provides a metal-to-metal seal at the tongue-and-groove join. The relative construction of the tongue and groove is such that during penetration of the tongue into the groove, there are areas of spaced separation between the confronting side edges of the tongue and groove. Also during tightening the gasket is forced into these areas of spaced separation which provides a second, gasketed seal at the tongue-and-groove joint. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110018263 | BAND CLAMP WITH EMBOSSED GASKET FOR SLOTTED PIPE LAP JOINTS - A band clamp used for forming a pipe lap joint. The band clamp includes a band, tightening mechanism, and gasket. The band extends circumferentially from a first end to a second end and is sized to fit over an outside pipe end. The tightening mechanism is connected to the band at the first and second end. The tightening mechanism includes at least one fastener to bring the first and second ends toward each other to tighten the band over the outside pipe end. The gasket is constructed to fit over an inside pipe end and within the outside pipe end such that the gasket is at least partially sandwiched between said inside and outside pipe ends. The gasket has an embossment extending radially outwardly from an outer surface of the gasket and being constructed to be received at least partly within a slot of the outside pipe end. | 01-27-2011 |
