20110291405 | Connecting System for a Line Tube, Which Can Be Pivoted About a Rotation Axis, of a Solar-Thermal Installation - A connecting system is accordingly provided for a line tube, which can be pivoted about a rotation axis of a solar-thermal installation, which line tube is filled with a carrier fluid, wherein the line tube extends between two ends and is connected, for transportation of the carrier fluid, at a first end via a flexible tube connection to a fixed-position fixed line and at its second end via at least one connection means to a further line tube. According to the invention, the line tube is supported such that the flexible tube connection experiences only forces acting at right angles to the rotation axis, and the connection means experiences only forces acting parallel to the rotation axis. | 12-01-2011 |
20120175870 | FLUSH VALVE PIPE STABILIZER - A bracket assembly for stabilizing the connection between a pair of joined pipe segments includes a bracket element attached to each pipe segment, and a yoke element connecting the brackets and reinforcing the connection between the pipe segments. The pipe segments may be in a linear arrangement or may have an angular arrangement. The bracket may be a collar, a split ring, or a pair of joined arcuate pieces. The yoke element may be straight or curved. | 07-12-2012 |
20130015653 | SCISSOR DUCT FLEX JOINT DAMPERAANM Cipra; Dale O.AACI ChatsworthAAST CAAACO USAAGP Cipra; Dale O. Chatsworth CA US - A flex joint assembly includes a damper mounted to a first scissors linkage and a second scissors linkage. | 01-17-2013 |
20140361531 | TUBE STRAIN RELIEVERS - A strain reliever for a hollow tube is disclosed. The strain reliever has a fitting dimensioned to fit at a tube segment and a tapered sleeve extending from the fitting. The tapered sleeve is configured to surround the tube segment and to provide relief of strain imposed by forces exerted on the tube. Strain relievers having helical conic and slotted tapered sleeves are also described. | 12-11-2014 |
20150035271 | HYDRAULIC HOSE GUIDE - The disclosed hose guide may prevent a hose from bending within a specified distance of a hose fitting, and therefore prevent weakening of the hose at the hose fitting interface. The hose guide may include a hose fitting stage, a straight hose stage, and a bell stage. The hose fitting stage may secure the hose guide around the hose fitting. The straight hose stage may prevent the hose from bending. The bell stage may allow the hose to bend at a radius greater than a minimum bend radius for the hose. | 02-05-2015 |
20150048612 | SEISMIC SLIP JOINT, SEISMIC-MITIGATING PIPING SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF MITIGATING SEISMIC EFFECTS ON A PIPING SYSTEM - A seismic slip joint may include a fixed sealing surface, a moveable sealing surface, and a solenoid device. The moveable sealing surface is configured to engage the fixed sealing surface to form a sealing interface during a deactivated state. The sealing interface may be a juncture that precludes passage of a fluid therethrough. The solenoid device is configured to switch between the deactivated state and an activated state. The solenoid device may include a piston and a spring structure. The piston is connected to the moveable sealing surface. The spring structure exerts a force on the piston so as to press the moveable sealing surface against the fixed sealing surface to form the sealing interface during the deactivated state. The piston may be configured to compress the spring structure and retract during the activated state so as to separate the moveable sealing surface from the fixed sealing surface. | 02-19-2015 |
20150345679 | GROOVED-ENDED RESILIENT EXPANSION JOINT FOR RESILIENTLY JOINING TOGETHER A PAIR OF GROOVED-ENDED PIPES - A grooved-ended resilient expansion joint is disclosed. The expansion joint has a resilient expansion member with a central resilient portion and two resilient axially disposed cylindrical ends. Each cylindrical end has a radially outwardly raised distal cylindrical gasket portion with at least one inside shoulder having an inner diameter sized substantially the same as an outer diameter of a pipe to be joined. Each cylindrical end also has a neck portion between the central portion and the gasket portion that is sized to receive a grooved-ended pipe nipple. | 12-03-2015 |
20160016024 | Fluid Conduit Ramp - A fluid conduit ramp construction provides partitions within a low profile outer conduit to reduce weight and increase strength while having a reduced device pressure loss at high flow rates such as are required for fire-fighting circumstances where large quantities of water must be supplied across a road or thoroughfare. The fluid conduit ramp may be rigid or flexible and of sufficient width to unconditionally provide fluid conduit cross-sectional areas larger than the nominal diameter of fire hose with which it is used. The fluid conduit ramp can be quickly deployed by one or two persons requiring only a short duration of traffic interruption after which traffic flow may be resumed at higher speeds than are possible using hose bridges. | 01-21-2016 |

20090250924 | Anti-kink hose support sleeve for garden hoses - The present invention is directed toward an anti-kink support sleeve for flexible hoses such as garden hoses. The construction of the device permits flexation of the hose while preventing the hose from kinking or collapsing in proximity of the support sleeve and most particularly near the hose bib. The anti-kink support sleeve includes a plurality of interconnected section members. Each interconnected section member includes a ball end and a socket end. The socket end being constructed to cooperate with the ball end of an adjacently positioned section to construct a universally swiveling connection having an inner diameter of sufficient size to pass the hose member therethrough. A plurality of sections are interconnected to assemble the anti-kink hose sleeve having a sufficient length to support the desired section(s) of hose. | 10-08-2009 |
20150115597 | FLEXIBLE HOSE GUARD - There is disclosed an anti-kinking device having a neck portion having a threaded internal surface; and a mesh pattern portion connecting the neck portion and a terminal portion; wherein the mesh portion has a central axis and comprises a plurality of equally configured rectangular open spaces between each mesh pattern in a relaxed state, each mesh pattern having a plurality of rectangular inner walls, a plurality of substantially rectangular outer walls, and a plurality of opposing sidewalls connecting the inner and outer walls, the sidewalls having planar linear portions with respect to the central axis. There is also disclosed a hose system comprising a hose inserted through the disclosed device. The device can prevent kinking of the hose. | 04-30-2015 |
20160053929 | FLOATING LOAD RING FOR FLEXIBLE JOINT - A free-floating load ring for assembly into a flexible coupling having a convoluted bellows and a surrounding mesh sleeve, said ring captured by said sleeve at an end of said coupling and spacing said sleeve from said bellows when forces are applied to said coupling. Various ring alternate structures are disclosed, and can be added to existing non-load supporting or flexible couplings having no previous rings. The load ring is retained in place by engagement of coupling components with the ring without physical connection of the ring to any coupling component. | 02-25-2016 |
