Abstract: An adjustable coupling device is provided which can be secured to each of two sections of conduit, such as two hoses or pipes, by hand, without the need for employing tools. The coupling device comprises a socket member and a plug member which are adapted to be adjustably positioned with respect to each other as one or both members wear, said plug member being adapted to be removably and adjustably disposed in said socket member. The above plug member includes interior walls which define a bore, and securing means, such as teeth or recessed portions. The socket member comprises a body portion having a bore running therethrough defined by the interior walls thereof, which bore is adapted to receive said plug member in a manner such that the bore of said plug member is in communication with the bore of said socket member, and at least one connecting member attached to said socket member and adapted to engage said securing means of said plug member.

Abstract: A multiple plate valve is provided which is designed to continue to function to close off a conduit even after portions of the valve have worn. The valve includes a body portion in the form of a pair of outer cover members each having an aperture therein, at least a pair of closure members, such as plates, operatively retained between said outer cover members and adapted to be moved between open and closed positions and to cooperate with each other to close off the apertures in the outer cover members, and means for repositioning the closure members with respect to each other and the apertures, as the closure members wear out, so that the closure members will continue to cooperate with each other to close off the apertures.Such a valve is particularly useful where it is employed in a conduit used for delivering abrasives or caustic chemicals which tend to wear out the closure members of the valve.
