Abstract: A quick-releasable coupling device for a pipe in disclosed, said coupling device comprising a connector body having first, second, third and fourth concentric bores, a collar retained in said first bore having an inner surface inclined to the axis of said bores, a clamping member disposed about a pipe within the collar arranged for axial movement relative thereto, said clamping member comprising a plurality of flexible jaws and means cooperating with the inclined surface of the collar for moving the jaws inwardly to clamp the pipe within the connector upon relative movement between the collar and clamp member, means in the second bore for forming a seal between the outer surface of the pipe and the wall of the second bore, said pipe being disposed in the first, second and third bores, and means fixed to the collar for guiding the pipe into the coupling having an abutment member for the end of the clamping member; and including the improvement wherein a separate pusher element is provided at the end of the con

Abstract: Instant fittings for reinforced multilayer flexible tubings for fluids, comprising a body internally provided with a cylindrical inlet whose diameter is substantially equal to that of the tubing, a bead extending radially inwardly and constituting a gripping ridge followed by a generally conical part, a bore whose diameter is equal to the large diameter of the cone, said conical part being internally provided with a channelled bush on which is engaged the end of the tubing 8. The invention is applied to the connection of multilayer pipes.

Abstract: Cocks having rotating manipulation spindles, comprising a body in which there is rotatably mounted a shut-off member connected by a spindle to a manipulation member, wherein the body of the cock has around the orifice of the bore in which the manipulation spindle is engaged a planar support surface defined at either side of the orifice by two parallel edges of a shape corresponding to that of the edges of a locking member of the spindle having a planar surface bearing against the said planar surface of the body and against a shoulder of the manipulation spindle which is flush with the planar surface of the body, the said locking member having a notch whereby the manipulation spindle is engaged. The invention is also concerned with a method of mounting the locking member of said cocks.

Abstract: Cocks comprising a spherical shut-off member seated on a gasket and formed of a body connected to elements of a canalization of fluid and wherein there is rotatably mounted a shut-off member having a surface in the form of a spherical zone which is capable of coming into contact with a gasket of generally annular shape secured in said body, wherein the shut-off member is extended at the side corresponding to the largest diameter of the surface of the spherical zone form by two lugs which extends parallel to the axis of the shut-off member passing through its center, one of said lugs being connected by a connection means having play to a manipulation member rotatably mounted in the body and the other lug having the shape of a fork the central recess of which is engaged on a stub integral with the body. The invention is also concerned with a method of mounting such cocks.

Abstract: A pipe union of the "banjo" type, comprising a body havng a first bore in which is located a quick fitting connecting member adapted to receive the end of a pipe, said first bore opening into a second bore axially substantially perpendicular to said first bore, and a connecting socket located in said second bore and defining a conduit communicating through at least one orifice with said first bore. The connecting socket may be common to several unions, and the provision of quick-fitting connecting members facilitates assembly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a connector for conduits, such as a pipe. Such a connector includes, a body, a ring member, a clamp having jaws and a throat on a pipe engageable by the jaws. Further, an O-ring seal is provided to seal the connector.

Abstract: A modular distributor box for distributing a fluid, consisting of a linear assembly of juxtaposed prismatic modules with contiguous modules connected together by engagement of a projection having an undercut, preferably dovetail, cross-section of one module engaging with one of at least two similarly undercut intersecting grooves of a corresponding face of the next module, each module having a central conduit therethrough between the faces on which the grooves and projections are defined so that the assembled distributor box has a continuous longitudinal conduit extending therethrough. The ends of the box may be blanked off with releaseable plugs. Transverse conduits formed in the various modules of the distributor box may include pressure sensors, manometers branching pipes or blanking plugs, and at least one of the modules may include a shut off tap effective to close said central conduit.
