Patent number: 11404815Abstract: A scaled connector has a sealed plug and a sealed receptacle, each including a housing, support, bladder assembly, tagger assembly, and contacts coupled to the equipment. The bladder assembly includes an expandable bladder, and a seal plate earned by the expandable bladder between an expanded position about an opening in the housing and a contracted position a distance from the opening. The trigger assembly includes rod(s) extendable through the bladder and the seal plate. When the housing of the sealed receptacle is matingly connected to the housing of the sealed plug, the trigger assemblies extends through the seal plates and into triggered engagement with each oilier, a passageway through the seal plates are open, and the contacts of the sealed plug extend through the passageways and into engagement with the contact of the sealed receptacle.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2018Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Ormond Energy Innovations Inc.Inventor: Srikanth Ramasubramanian

Patent number: 8511908Abstract: A connector has first and second connector units, each unit incorporating an oil-filled chamber housing one or more contact elements to be joined. At least one connector unit has a face seal assembly which seals the forward end of the contact chamber in the unmated condition. The face seal assembly comprises three elements. One element is an annular elastomeric seal situated radially outward. The two other elements are inner seal elements which are pressed together radially to form a substantially disc-like shape. The resulting disc-like shaped seal fills the central, circular end face opening of the outer annular seal. As the connector units are mated, elements of the elastomeric face seal assembly are displaced, one axially, and others both axially and radially, creating an opening between the oil-filled chambers that is sealed from the outside environment.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2012Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Teledyne Instruments, Inc.Inventors: James L. Cairns, Srikanth Ramasubramanian, Stewart M. Barlow

Patent number: 7618198Abstract: First and second connector units each have a contact chamber with a front wall having an opening closed by a stopper. Seals in the respective openings surround and seal the stoppers prior to mating. The stopper in the first connector unit is retracted into the housing during mating while the front wall of second connector unit is retracted into its housing during mating, pushed back by the front wall of the first connector unit, separating the stoppers from the end wall openings and allowing communication between the contact chambers through a passageway defined by the aligned openings. The seals in the end walls seal the passageway during and after mating. A contact assembly in the first connector unit moves transversely into alignment with the passageway for contact with a corresponding fixed contact assembly in the second connector unit as the units move into mating engagement.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2008Date of Patent: November 17, 2009Assignee: Teledyne ODI, Inc.Inventors: Peter R.

Publication number: 20080296426Abstract: An apparatus for managing flexible lines has first and second spool members secured together by a hinge which allows the spool members to be folded between an open condition in which the spool members are in co-planar, side-by-side positions and a folded, closed condition in which the spool members are folded towards one another until they are aligned and substantially face-to-face. Each spool member has a groove extending in an at least substantially continuous loop which receives successive windings of a line or strip as it is wound in a figure eight pattern between the two spool members in an open condition. When winding is complete, the spool members can be folded together into the folded, closed condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2007Publication date: December 4, 2008Inventors: James L.
