  • Patent number: 11152746
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first member, a second member, and a sleeve connected to the first member. The sleeve may connect with a first component. The second member may connect with a second component. The first member may include a flange. The first portion of the sleeve may be disposed substantially at a first axial side of the flange. A second portion of the sleeve may be disposed substantially at a second axial side. The first and second members may include corresponding latching portions configured to selectively connect the first member with the second member and restrict relative axial movement between the first member and the second member. The latching portion of the second member may include a latching spring, and the latching portion of the first member may include a latching spring groove. When latched, the latching spring may be at least partially in the latching spring groove.

  • Patent number: 9810427
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel apparatus and way for directing a supply of compressed air into a fuel nozzle assembly for mixing with a fuel source. The apparatus comprises a fuel nozzle assembly having a plurality of coaxial tubes and radially-extending swirler vanes for directing a supply of fuel to a mixing tube. Compressed air is directed to flow in a primarily axial direction by passing through a hemispherically-shaped dome portion at an air inlet region of the fuel nozzle assembly. The hemispherically-shaped dome includes a plurality of openings for directing air into the fuel nozzle assembly in a direction having a radial and axial component.

  • Publication number: 20160281978
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel apparatus and way for directing a supply of compressed air into a fuel nozzle assembly for mixing with a fuel source. The apparatus comprises a fuel nozzle assembly having one or more coaxial flow dividers and radially-extending swirler vanes for directing a supply of fuel to a mixing tube. Compressed air is directed to flow in a primarily axial direction by passing through one or more coaxial flow dividers spaced axially and radially about the air inlet region of the fuel nozzle assembly so as to form a non-uniform radial distribution of compressed air to the inlet region of the fuel nozzle assembly.
