Patent number: 6896005Abstract: An elongated multi-layer tubing is disclosed for connection to a motor vehicle system to handle fluids containing hydrocarbons. The tubing includes a first layer disposed radially innermost and having an inner surface capable of prolonged exposure to a fluid containing hydrocarbons and an outer surface spaced a first predetermined radial thickness from the inner surface, the first layer consisting essentially of an extrudable, melt-processible thermoplastic. The tubing also includes a second layer having a second predetermined radial thickness at most equal to the thickness of the first layer. The second layer is uniformly and homogeneously connected to or bonded to the first layer and consists essentially of an extrudable, melt-processible thermoplastic capable of sufficiently permanent laminar adhesion with the first layer to prevent delamination during a desired lifetime of the tubing. At least one of the first and second layers is resistant to permeation by hydrocarbons.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2001Date of Patent: May 24, 2005Assignee: ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: David L.

Patent number: 5718459Abstract: The present invention is a high pressure quick connector especially for use in connecting brake lines of a vehicle. The connector includes a housing which selectively receives a tube retainer cap. Retaining means such as a garter spring or snap ring allow for a low force insertion of the cap into the housing with an very high pull-off force. The cap is used to trap a tube with a bead upset, and the tube may be removed after the cap is unlocked. A second way of releasing the tube includes the use of a tube retainer plug selectively received in the cap, the upset trapped between the plug and cap. The plug can be removed while the cap is still locked in the housing, releasing the tube. A release tool may be used to unlock the cap from the housing. An insertion indicator ring is used to establish the locking of the cap within the housing. A dust boot prevents contaminants from interfering with the operation of the connector.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 1994Date of Patent: February 17, 1998Assignee: ITT CorporationInventors: Robert M.

Patent number: 5460771Abstract: A method for producing polymeric tubing which is resistant to permeation by organic material contained therein which has at least one region defined by a plurality of outwardly extending annular ridges. In this method, tubular polymeric material having a first outer diameter and composed of at least three overlying polymeric layers is introduced into a mold device upon exit of the tubular polymeric material from a suitable extrusion device, the surface of the mold device having at least one region defined by an annular depression in an essentially cylindrical surface. Once the tubular material is introduced, it is expanded to a second outer diameter such that the tubular material deformably contacts the mold surface. The corrugated tubular material then exits from the die device after completion of the expansion step.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 1994Date of Patent: October 24, 1995Assignee: ITT CorporationInventors: Frank L.
