  • Patent number: 12650186
    Abstract: A connection arrangement device for making a secure connection with at least one tube in a fluid line includes at least one adapter body having a passage bore with at least two outlets, and a mating block which is formed with at least one component and also has at least one channel receiving the adapter body. The adapter body includes a retention feature formed outside the adapter body and the mating block includes a mating feature formed inside the channel. Further, the retention feature of the adapter body is configured to interact with the mating feature of the mating block when the adapter body is coupled to the channel of the mating block such that the adapter body is securely retained within the channel of the mating block.

  • Publication number: 20260063227
    Abstract: A block fitting device for making a secure connection in a fluid line system includes an adapter body having a passage with two outlets and an adapter bead radially and outwardly formed around the adapter body, a primary block formed with at least one bore along a longitudinal axis and an inward directed step around the at least one bore to receive the adapter body, a mating block having at least one mating bore and being securely coupled with the primary block and the adapter body, and a seal washer having an inner seal member and an outer seal member. In an assembled configuration, the at least one bore and the passage are aligned and communicated to define a fluid channel along the longitudinal axis. Further, the seal washer is placed in the inward directed step for a sealing contact with the adapter body and the primary block.

  • Publication number: 20250242742
    Abstract: A recreational vehicle (RV) may include a chassis, at least one axle assembly, a vehicle body, and a slide out compartment. The slide out compartment may be integrated with the vehicle body, extendable to expand an interior volume of the vehicle body, and retractable over a body-side edge of the floor of the vehicle body to reduce an interior volume of the vehicle body. The slide out compartment may include a slide out floor assembly including an impact resistant sheet, a core floor component, a weather resistant sheet, and an entry bevel. The entry bevel may be positioned along an entry edge of the core floor component of the slide out compartment and may include a leading edge, a transitional surface, an angled contact surface, a sheet concealment ridge, an exterior sheet accommodating surface, and an anchoring tail.
