  • Self-compensating hose coupling
    Patent number: 6779269
    Abstract: A connection for a tube is formed by placing a coiled spring around an end of a tube and inserting a barbed tubular portion from a connection into the tube. The connection forces the tube to expand applying pressure against the coil spring and forcing it to expand and exert radial pressure against the tube towards the inserted tubular portion.

  • Coiled laminated air brake tubing
    Publication number: 20030145896
    Abstract: An improved coiled air brake tubing is formed from a nylon polyurethane laminate. The laminate includes an innermost nylon layer surrounded with a thick intermediate polyurethane layer in turn covered with an outermost thin nylon layer. The polyurethane layer is fiber reinforced. The product is extruded and coiled around a heated mandril causing it to assume a coiled set. This exhibits improved low temperature properties and is less expensive than a nylon product.
