| 285003000 | FRANGIBLE ELEMENT | 9 |
| 20130043671 | TERMINATION COLLAR FOR AIR DUCT - The apparatus disclosed herein serves as a termination point for a connection of metal pipe, plastic pipe, flexible pipe, or duct elbows to a diffuser through a wall, ceiling, or similar surface structure. The projection portion of the apparatus into which the diffuser is installed is substantially rigid, and thus generally prohibits deformation and damage as the apparatus and surrounding surface/structure is installed. For modification, break points and tear-away markers may be provided to aid in removal of portions for specific applications such as low internal clearance. | 02-21-2013 |
| 20100032937 | QUICK CONNECTOR COUPLING WITH PULL TAB VERIFIER - A quick connector coupling for use with a fluid line includes a connector body defining a through bore extending from a male reception end of the connector body. The connector body is adapted to operably receive a male member extending through the male reception end of the connector body into the bore. A retainer is releasably coupled to the connector body. The retainer is movable relative to the connector body from an unlatched position to the latched position only when the male member is fully inserted into the body. A separable indicia element is releasably engaged to the retainer and is removable from the retainer only when the retainer is in the latched position. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100253065 | SECURE COUPLED TUBE ASSEMBLY - Secure assembly of a tube coupled to a body having a bore. The coupling is provided by an insert mounted in the bore, a releasable internal retainer for retaining the tube in the bore, and a release member slidably moveable in the bore, the release member being pushable into the bore to release the retainer for uncoupling the tube from the body. A spacer is provided to prevent the release member from being pushed in. The spacer includes a clip portion inserted in a groove formed between a stationary surface of the body or the insert and an opposing shoulder surface of the release member which projects outside of the bore. The clip portion is connected by at least one breakable bridge portion to a locking portion which abuttably engages the tube to prevent the clip portion from being removed unless the bridge portion is broken by a user. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100253064 | QUICK-CONNECT TUBE FITTING CONNECTION INCLUDING A SAFETY RING - A quick-coupling tube fitting for coupling a tube to a body having a bore. The fitting includes a retaining member received within the bore for retaining the tube, and a release member received within the bore to be slidably moveable to release the retaining member when pushed. The release member has a rear portion that projects outwardly from the body. The rear portion has a shoulder surface which faces a stationary surface of the body to define a groove therebetween in which a safety member is disposed to delimit the sliding of the release member. The safety member is provided in the form of an elongate member which is closable to form a ring in the groove. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100066073 | Engine Fitting and Method of Assembling Vehicles - A dual-purpose engine fitting is provided that may be used both during engine testing and during engine use, for vehicles with vacuum assisted brakes and for those without. The fitting has a body portion configured to fit within an opening in the manifold and defining a passage having opposing first and second ends. The fitting has a seal portion enclosing the first end of the passage. The second end of the passage is open to the manifold when the body portion is fit within the manifold. A thinned wall joins the body portion and the seal portion, establishing a predetermined fracture region at which the seal portion will separate from the body portion when sufficient torque is applied to the seal portion to thereby open the first end of the passage. A method of assembling vehicles is also provided. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20090261573 | PIPE JOINT - A pipe joint includes a sleeve that is non-movably integrated with a nut prior to the nut being threadedly coupled to a joint body. The sleeve is separated from the nut by threadedly coupling the nut to the joint body prior to contact between the sleeve and a guide surface of the joint body so as to stabilize the separation timing of the sleeve from the nut and ensure the sealing property at portions where the sleeve bites. When the nut is further threaded to the joint body, a distal end portion of the sleeve is pressed by a guide surface formed on the joint body and deformed. As a guided surface is guided by the guide surface, the distal end portion bites into an outer peripheral surface of the pipe. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20120001414 | Fitting for Thick-Walled Pipes and Method for Its Production - A fitting for thick-walled pipes, having a contact region and a pressing region, the pressing region being arranged on the side of the contact region facing towards the pipe insertion opening, and the wall thickness in the pressing region being at least in sections less than the wall thickness in the contact region. The invention also relates to a method for producing a fitting for thick-walled pipes, in which a thick-walled pipe is radially widened in a fitting region arranged at one pipe end so that the internal diameter of the fitting region corresponds substantially to the external diameter of the pipe and the wall thickness in the fitting region corresponds substantially to the wall thickness of the rest of the pipe. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120313366 | CONNECTOR FOR CONTAINERS CONTAINING A MEDICINAL ACTIVE SUBSTANCE - The invention relates to a connector for containers ( | 12-13-2012 |
| 285004000 | Score line or groove | 1 |
| 20080277918 | MODIFICATION DEVICE AND VENT HOOD HAVING SUCH A DEVICE - A modification apparatus for an object is provided. Generally, the modification device is in an object of substantially uniform thickness, has two grooves defining a strip therebetween, and a fingerpiece attached to the strip. The fingerpiece, strip, and material of the grooves can be removed from the object by moving the fingerpiece until the modification apparatus is torn away from the object. A vent hood comprising this modification apparatus is provided as well. A method of using the modification apparatus is also provided. | 11-13-2008 |
