    Abstract: A coupling device includes an engagement surface, a gasket ring, a clamp assembly, and a locking assembly. The coupling device is configured so that the clamp assembly can be actuated to mount the coupling device on the bib. The gasket ring is configured to be compressed between the engagement surface and the bib to enable liquid to flow from the bib into the coupling device and out of it into the hose or other component without leakage. The locking assembly is configured to lock the coupling device on the bib, but is releasable when desired to dismount the coupling device from the bib.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a connecting device (10) for connecting a first line end (12) to a second line end (14), wherein the first line end (12) has a flange-like radial first widening (16) with a first end face (18) and a first rear face (20), and the second line end (14) has a plurality of flange-like radial second widenings (22) each with a second end face (24) and a second rear face (26), wherein the second widenings (22) are separated from one another by interruption portions (84), and the connecting device (10) comprises a connecting ring (74) with a first closure face (76) and a plurality of second closure faces (70) which are separated from one another by passage portions (80), wherein the first closure face (76) can be brought into contact with the first rear face (20), and the second closure faces (78) can be brought into contact with the second rear faces (26) by virtue of the fact that the second widenings (22) are guided with an axial movement through the passage portions (80) and then a relative rotational movement is carried out between the connecting ring (74) and the first line end (12) and/or a relative rotational movement is carried out between the connecting ring (74) and the second line end (14). Moreover, the invention relates to a method and a connecting arrangement (85) for connecting a first line end (12) to a second line end (14) using such a connecting device (10).

    Abstract: A coupling device is provided for mounting on a bib of a faucet to releasably secure a hose or some other component to the bib. The coupling device includes an engagement surface, a gasket ring, a clamp assembly and a locking assembly. The coupling device is configured so that the clamp assembly can be actuated to mount the coupling device on the bib. The gasket ring is configured to be compressed between the engagement surface and the bib to enable liquid to flow from the bib into the coupling device and out of it into the hose or other component without leakage. The locking assembly is configured to lock the coupling device on the bib, but is releasable when desired to dismount the coupling device from the bib.

    Abstract: A remotely-operated fluid connection assembly to hold higher internal pressures in larger diameters. The assembly comprises a fluid connection adapter and a fluid connection housing assembly. When the adapter enters the housing assembly: (A) locking elements on the housing assembly constrict about the adapter; and (B) at least a first seal section on the adapter sealingly contacts a first seal bore on the housing assembly. Progressive engagement of a locking ring upon the locking elements urges the locking elements to tighten against the adapter. Internal pressure encourages adapter displacement, which then further tightens the adapter against the locking elements as now restrained by the locking ring. Internal pressure further encourages the first seal section on the adapter to expand radially to tighten the contact with the first seal bore in the housing assembly.

    Abstract: A quick connect hose adapter connects a flexible transfer hose from a mower deck to an inlet tube on a container for storing debris. The adapter includes a first cylindrical portion fixed in the discharge end of the flexible hose, and a second portion with a clamp assembly that clamps to the inlet tube. The clamp assembly has first and second semi-cylindrical segments connected together on one side by a continuous hinge, and at least one latch for latching the other side of the semi-cylindrical segments together to cause the clamp assembly to be clamped to the inlet tube. When the latch is released, the second semi-cylindrical segment can be moved from a closed position to an open position. In the open position, the adapter is easily removable from the inlet tube. A seal ring provides a smooth inner surface and seal between the adapter and the inlet tube.

    Abstract: A safety coupling assembly can be used to connect segments of a conduit, such as a hose or a flexible pipe. The safety coupling assembly comprises a female member and a male member, which are held together by spring operated toggle latches. The force required for connecting the female member with the male member of the safety coupling assembly can be selected independent from the force required for disconnecting the male member form the female member.

    Abstract: A coupler configured to be attached to an end of a corrugated tube having a hollow shaft configured to be inserted within the corrugated tube and a flange surrounding at least a portion of the hollow shaft. The flange has a width larger than the inside diameter of the corrugated tube. A first and second arm is attached to the flange by flexible hinges. Each arm defines a clamp configured to engage an outer surface of at least one of the plurality of corrugations when the arm pivots about the flexible hinge. Each clamp may include a locking feature configured to lock the clamp to the first arm to the second arm and the clamp of the second arm to the first arm.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a safety coupling assembly (100) for connecting segments of a conduit, such as a hose or a flexible pipe. The safety coupling assembly comprises a female member (50) and a male member (10), which are held together by spring operated toggle latches (70A,70B). The force required for connecting the female member with the male member of the safety coupling assembly can be selected independent from the force required for disconnecting the male member form the female member.
