  • Patent number: 6145893
    Abstract: A structure of a pipeline connector is mainly composed of a socket, a restriction ring, a cover ring, a fixed inner pipe, a fixed outer pipe and a stopping ring. The socket is composed of a cone shaped opening and secured with an inner pipe. The opening of the socket comprises a restriction ring and a locknut, with the fixed inner pipe secured within the socket by means of the locknut, the fixed inner pipe and the inner pipe of the fixed inner pipe been inserted through the fixed outer pipe and sleeved with a stopping ring at the end of the inner pipe so as to allow a smooth sliding of the fixed inner pipe and the fixed outer pipe, relatively.

  • Patent number: 5799702
    Abstract: The present invention provides a retractable conduit, which includes two retaining brackets, two adapters, a sliding pipe, two elastic retainers, two dust covers, bolts and two O-rings. The sliding pipe penetrates through hollow adapter at each end. Bond the adapter to the retaining bracket with an O-ring and bolts. A dust cover is nested on the front of the adapter, an elastic retainer is set in the adapter for fill the gap between the sliding pipe and the interior surface of the adapter. The sliding pipe can be adjusted to an appropriate length or angle due to the motion of earth crust or a great changing of temperature is happened while it is placed underground, also prevents from silt or dust seeping into the pipe, without affect the quality of the stored liquid.

  • Patent number: 5740839
    Abstract: The present invention provides a flexible extension conduit, in which a basic unit includes a joint base, two joints, two ball valves, a sliding pipe, two dirt covers, a flat pipe, two damping collars and two embedded retainers, and so on. Therein the embedded retainer is placed in the caulking groove of the ball valve so that the caulking groove of the embedded retainer catches the catching rim in the caulking groove of the ball valve. The sliding pipe is put in the ball valve and welded a thrust collar at the smaller end to limit the sliding range of the sliding pipe in the ball valve, and the combined ball valve is located in the spherical bearing consisting of the joint base and the joint. When the earth crust moves or the temperature gets a great changing, the dirt cover can prevent the sand and the soil from seeping in, and the conduit can change the length and bend an angle in each section.
