Abstract: A custom blending hose for manifold mixing of various fuels for a fuel dispensing system, including a pair of fuel dispensing hoses, generally concentrically or coaxially arranged, for passing at least a pair of fuels into a manifold assembly, for blending and intermixing of said fuels, for further delivery through a dispensing hose assembly, to a nozzle, for refueling of a vehicle. The manifold includes a housing, incorporating internally a series of apertures, through which the fuels are passed, and blended, for delivery as a uniform fuel to a vehicle during dispensing. A vapor return line may locate through the manifold.

Abstract: A breakaway coupling including a pair of sleeves, one sleeve fitting within the other, each sleeve provided with a connector body, and a hose connector secured with one of the connector bodies. The first sleeve holds a metal annulus, while the second sleeve secures a ring separator, counterbored, to secure a series of round magnets therein, so that when the sleeves and their connector bodies are brought together, they are secured by the magnets into connection. When excessive force is encountered, the breakaway will separate, to prevent further discharge of fuel from the nozzle. A swivel connector secures with one of the connector bodies.

Abstract: A threaded inline swivel has a first nut and an opposite second nut each having the form of a generally hollow cylinder with an open end to receive fuel. Each nut has a collar that has a common nominal diameter. A collar provides at least two faces for gripping by a wrench. Each nut has threading for connection to a hose or other fitting. To further seal the swivel to a hose or a fitting, at least one O-ring and at least one gasket are provided as alternative embodiments. In a further alternate embodiment, the swivel has a threaded second nut and an opposite barbed end on the first nut with a clip. The first nut has its chamber that constricts in diameter through a throat as it enters the second nut. The swivel in all embodiments provides for flow of fluid through it with little turbulence.

Abstract: A breakaway coupling including a pair of sleeves, one sleeve fitting within the other, each sleeve having a hose connector secured therethrough, the first sleeve holding a metal annulus, the second sleeve securing a continuous magnetic annulus, so when the sleeves are brought together the magnetic annulus secures onto the metal annulus to hold the coupler in its connected position. The continuous metallic annulus includes a metal base, a spacer that holds a series of standard round magnets equally spaced around the approximate perimeter of the spacer and its base.

Abstract: A threaded adaptor has a first end and an opposite second end of a generally hollow cylinder. At least one end has threading for connection to a hose or fitting and the ends form the male half of the connection. Centered upon the adaptor, a collar provides at least two faces for gripping of the adaptor by a tool. Within the adaptor, the two ends open into a smooth chamber that allows for uninterrupted fluid flow. To further seal the adaptor, at least one O-ring and at least one gasket are provided as alternate embodiments. In another alternate embodiment, the adaptor has one threaded end, an opposite barbed end with a clamp, and a collar with six faces. These two ends open into a chamber with a stepped diameter. The adaptor provides for flow of fluid with little turbulence.

Abstract: A breakaway coupling including a pair of sleeves, one sleeve fitting within the other, each sleeve provided with a connector body, and a hose connector secured partially with one of the connector bodies. The first sleeve holds a metal annulus, while the second sleeve secures a ring separator, generally counterbored, to secure a series of round magnets, so that when the sleeves and their connector bodies are brought together, they are secured by the magnets into connection, but that when an excessive force is encountered, the breakaway will separate, and prevent further discharge of fuel from the nozzle or its fuel line hose. Connecting with one of the connector bodies is a swivel connector, which can furnish a degree of pivot to the swivel, and its connected nozzle, or the hose, during usage. The swivel connector includes male and female portions, which provide for a degree of pivot, while the male portion further includes a swivel nut, which adds further turnability to the entire unit, during installation.

Abstract: A safety breakaway connector begins with a body that receives a cooperating insert providing a coaxial flow path. The body has threads, a collar leading to an extension, and a hollow interior. The insert also has threads, a collar that leads to an inner wall, and a hollow interior. The inner wall fits snugly within the extension of the body. Generally, the insert simply slides into and interconnects with the body for quick installation. Two spaced apart biased check valves remain slightly outwardly from the narrow portions of the body and insert. A guard covers the body. Upon the application of the minimum force, the insert separates from the body, and the check valves abruptly close preventing further leakage of fuel. Alternatively, a strategically located O-ring or gasket seals the various components and withstands pressure variations.
