A grease and lubricating oil line coupler includes a nozzle and a receiver which can be intercoupled for grease or lubricating oil delivery. Each component has a normally closed, easily-cleanable, flush-faced mating surface, which prevents the entrance of contaminants into the free ends thereof when decoupled. The nozzle has a handle-operated internal valve with an interlock that is controlled by a quick disconnect slidable collar, which prevents the release of lubricants from the nozzle unless it is coupled to the receiver. Only when the nozzle and receiver are interconnected can the valve be opened; only when the valve is closed can the nozzle be decoupled from the receiver. A high-pressure bleed-off feature returns high-pressure excess lubricant within the coupler to the lubricant storage tank when the handle of the nozzle is returned to its OFF position prior to decoupling it from the receiver.

A hydraulic valve coupling has an interlock mechanism that includes at least one blocking member within an interlock passage of a body of the valve coupling. The interlock passage has a first end opening to the valve shaft and a second end opening to an interface groove of the valve coupling. The at least one blocking member can be retracted within the interlock passage such that the valve coupling can be rotated and disengaged from a mating coupling. When the valve is in the open position, the at least one blocking member is positioned within the interlock passage such that it contacts the mating coupling and prevents rotation of the valve coupling relative to the mating coupling. The second end of the at least one blocking member can be shaped such that it is retracted as a result of contact with the mating coupling without assistance from a biasing mechanism.

A male coupling member is configured such that, even if a front end surface of a valve member is hit with a hammer, the valve member cannot bite into an opening surface of a coupling body. The male coupling member has a coupling body, a valve member, and a spring member. The valve member has a front end portion fitted into a front end opening of the coupling body, and a valve body. The front end portion has a circular front end surface, a front end annular surface having a smaller diameter than an opening surface of the coupling body, and a reduced-diameter surface having a smaller diameter than the front end annular surface. The reduced-diameter surface is configured such that when the valve member is tilted and, consequently, the reduced-diameter surface engages a rear end edge of the opening surface, the length b from the point of engagement between the reduced-diameter surface and the rear end edge to the outer peripheral edge of the front end surface of the valve member through the axis of the valve member is not larger than the diameter a of the front end surface.

Improved latching connectors that can be used to connect a fluid system, such as manufacturing, test, or processing equipment, to an external system, for example charging, evacuation and/or testing equipment. In one embodiment, the connector includes elements by which to protect connector seals from being exposed to fluid being transferred, thereby lengthening the lifetime and reliability of the connector. In another embodiment, the male connector portion and the female connector portion are both valved in a normally closed position. The connector is designed to achieve connection of the male portion to the female portion, and sealing between the male portion and the female portion, prior to the valves in each connector portion being opened and fluid flowing through the connector. The latching connector includes a pressure locking sleeve that, once the connector is under pressure, locks the connector to prevent accidental disconnection.

This female quick-connect coupling element is for releasably joining together pipes for pressurized fluid. This female element, which is suitable for receiving, along a longitudinal axis, an end-piece of a male element in interfitting manner, is equipped with at least one locking member for locking a male element in the interfitted configuration, a fluid flow duct and a valve for controlling the flow of fluid through the flow duct, which valve includes an element mounted to move relative to a seat. It is also equipped with a discharge circuit for discharging the fluid contained in an internal volume portion forming the flow duct downstream from the seat of the valve, and a hollow end-piece defining the flow duct in part and suitable for coming to bear against a seal carried by a male element fitted into the female element.This female element is characterized in that the hollow end-piece is constituted by an inner sleeve and by an outer sleeve that are coaxial and mounted to move axially relative to each other, and in that a space defined between the two sleeves is in fluid connection with the discharge circuit.

A chuck includes an annular ring portion, a first engaging portion which extends along a central axis of the annular ring portion and which engages with the first tube joint member, and a second engaging portion which extends from the annular ring portion along the central axis of the annular ring portion and which elastically engages with a second tube joint member. A-three-dimensionally shaped portion, which is an end of the second engaging portion, includes a pair of expanded portions on a metal plate. The annular ring portion is formed by rounding the metal plate with both ends, which are not fixed to one another so that both ends are displaceable circumferentially.

A female coupling member is provided for a pipe coupling that handles a high-pressure fluid. The female coupling member has collet-type locking members capable of correctly connecting the female coupling member and the associated male coupling member. The male coupling member receiving portion 22 has an inward inner surface 35-2 that slidingly engages a forward end outer peripheral surface 12-2 of the male coupling member 12 when the male coupling member 12 is inserted into the male coupling member receiving portion 22 and before as the male coupling member 12 reaches a position where the engaging portion 12-1 of the male coupling member 12 is engaged by the latch portions 32-1 of the locking members 32. The male coupling member receiving portion 22 further has a forward end inner surface 20-1(2) that slidingly engages an outer peripheral surface 12-3 of the male coupling member 12 that is more rearward of the forward end outer peripheral surface 12-2 than the engaging portion 12-1 of the male coupling member 12 at the same time as the inward inner surface slidingly engages the forward end outer peripheral surface 12-2 of the male coupling member.

A fluid connector with adjustable flow control includes an adapter having a first threaded portion, a sealing surface and an orifice. The fluid connector also includes a valve body having a second threaded portion for engagement with the first threaded portion and a central body passage connected to at least one port. Upon rotation of the valve body relative to the adapter, the port is displaced axially relative to the sealing surface thereby effecting a change in fluid flow through the fluid connector and into or out of the orifice.

An air conditioner service fitting is provided and includes a valve body comprising a threaded bore and an annular valve seat extending around the bore. The valve body is configured and the valve seat is positioned such that all fluid that passes through the bore crosses the valve seat. A twist-to-open valve is disposed in the bore and threadedly engages with the valve body. The twist-to-open valve includes a valve element configured to form a polymer-to-metal seal with the valve seat. The polymer-to-metal seal stops substantially all fluid flow through the bore and the flow path when the twist-to-open valve is closed. The valve body further includes an external connection feature disposed around the bore. The valve body comprises an external sealing surface.

A single-service package coupling and valve includes a fitment having a spout and a sliding tubular valve member mounted therein for receiving a cooperating dispensing connector of a liquid distributing and dispensing system, and an external adapter ring designed to cooperate with the mounting mechanisms of a plurality of conventional commercially available dispensing connectors. An internal adapter sleeve is mounted with in the sliding tubular valve member to provide a tight seal with any of the conventional dispensing connectors. The external adapter ring is provided with a pair of radially extending flanges adapted to accept and position different dispensing connectors. At least one of the radially extending flanges is provided with at lest two wings to engage a threaded mounting collar of a service line connector.
