    Abstract: An innovative washing and also sanitizing device (10a, 10b) for a conveyor belt (200), which can be easily integrated into the supporting structure (201) as an accessory, being composed of two parallel spray bars (101, 102) with aligned atomizing nozzles (104) which are joined on only one side to a riser for the supply of the fluids (103, 130), forming a tubular fork-like structure. The upper spray bar (101) has a preassembled fixing group (106), of the clamp tightening type where a flat bracket (110) is interposed and protrudes to be fixed to a side rail (201, 204) in the proximity of the belt (200), after inserting the spray bars (101, 102) on one side, thus fixing the entire device (10a, 10b) in an integral and reversible way. The lower spray bar (102) is self-supporting in an oscillating way (133) and is connected with a swivelling connection (103, 105) to direct the nozzles as needed.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of the inventive subject matter are directed to components that are used to form lengths of conduit. Such a system can include a male component and a female component, where the male component has a male conical tapered surface on a threaded end and the female component comprises a female conical tapered surface on a threaded end. A B nut can be slid over the male component so a sleeve can be screwed onto the threaded end of the male component, and the B nut can then screw onto the threaded end of the female component, thereby pulling on the sleeve to bring the male component and the female component toward each other. Systems of the inventive subject matter are made from non-metal materials such as machinable ceramics, plastics, polymers, and the like.

    Abstract: A brake union for providing a secure and leak free connection between first and second fluid carrying lines inserted into a female union body having a first and second open ends. Each of the fluid carrying lines exhibits an expanded, typically flared, end form which, upon inserting through the female body, seat against one another. A mating flare nut coaxially surrounds one of the fluid carrying lines and includes exterior threads which inter-engage interior threads of the female body, with tightening to establish a fluid-tight connection between the opposing end forms.

    Abstract: An object is to provide a joint in which a tapered portion of a body to which surface treatment has been applied is not seized when a pipe is attached. The joint includes a body having a tapered portion on an inner peripheral surface of at least one end portion, a threaded portion on an outer peripheral surface of the at least one end portion, and a flow path therein; a ring having a tapered outer peripheral surface in sliding contact with the tapered portion of the body; and a nut pushing the tapered outer peripheral surface of the ring against the tapered surface of the body by being screwed with a parallel threaded portion of the threaded portion of the body to which a pipe is connected and, in which surface treatment for preventing adsorption of liquid is applied to a surface of the body.

    Abstract: A fluid fitting includes a nut, a sleeve, and a union. The union and the nut may include corresponding stops and corresponding markings. Corresponding stops and corresponding marking may engage with each other when the nut is sufficiently connected with the union. A method of connecting a fitting includes connecting a sleeve of the fitting with a nut of the fitting, connecting the nut with a union, rotating at least one of the nut and the union until a stop of the nut engages a stop of the union, restricting over torque via the stop of the nut and the stop of the union, and verifying a sufficient connection if first markings of the nut align with second markings of the union.

    Abstract: A fitting body is tubular, whose first and second axial end portions include a connector for a tube and an annular groove, respectively. A sleeve has first and second axial end portions including an annular protrusion and a connector for another tube, respectively. A nut is engaged with an external thread of the fitting body or the sleeve. Engagement of the external thread with the nut causes press—fit of the annular protrusion into the annular groove to form a seal region. Under a condition that a depth of the annular groove is three or more times as large as a thickness of a radially inward or outward wall of the annular groove, an axial distance from the seal region to a bottom of the annular groove exceeds ten times an increment width of the annular groove caused by the press-fit of the annular protrusion into the annular groove.

    Abstract: In order to make it possible to ensure the axis alignment performance while reducing the processing cost, and to make a coupling structure compact to perform the coupling work and the detaching work of pipe members without difficulty even in a narrow work space, the coupling structure according to the invention includes a pipe coupling that couples a pair of pipe members each including a flange at an end portion in a state where the flanges of the pipe members face each other, an annular gasket interposed between the flanges of the pair of pipe members, and recesses formed individually in facing surfaces of the flanges facing each other, in which the annular gasket fitted into the respective recesses makes pipe axes of the pipe members and the annular gasket coincide with each other.
