Abstract: A verification pull tab clip includes a pull tab. A generally planar body extends from the pull tab and has first and second opposite sides, proximal and distal ends, and top and bottom ends. The body is elongated in a longitudinal direction that extends between the proximal and distal ends. An indication surface is disposed on the first side of the body. A cantilevered arm extends from the pull tab in the longitudinal direction and is spaced apart from the body. The arm terminates at a free end and has first and second sides. A latch is disposed at the free end of the arm. An abutment projects outwardly from the second side of the arm. The arm is deflectable away from the bottom end for securing the latch, and is deflectable away from the bottom end for releasing the latch in response to a deflection of the abutment.

Abstract: An improved quick connector with code verification is provided. The quick connector includes a connector body, a connector sleeve, and a sliding lock latch. The connector body includes a verification indicia on its outer surface, and the connector sleeve is movable over the connector body and includes an indicator window that aligns with the verification indicia. The sliding lock latch is moveable from an unlatched position to a latched position through transverse openings in the connector sleeve and the connector body. The sliding lock latch includes first and second wing elements to prevent clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation of the connector sleeve relative to the connector body. The sliding lock latch also includes a locking tab on its outer surface to prevent retraction of the connector sleeve from the connector body.

Abstract: A dual-latch system requiring two distinct and sequential operations to verify that a proper connection has been made is disclosed. In the first operation, the fluid line is installed into the quick connector and is attached. In the second operation, the fluid line is locked into the quick connector using a separate sliding lock latch. The connector assembly comprises a housing having an inner bore for receiving a portion of the fluid line, a spring latch having radially-spaced engaging bodies for engaging the raised upset or bead of the fluid line, and a sliding lock latch having spring release interference abutments. The sliding lock latch is movable from an unlocked position in which the abutments allow movement of the engaging bodies relative to the raised upset or bead to a locked position in which the abutments restrict movement of the engaging bodies to the raised upset or bead engaging position.

Abstract: Liquid tank measuring systems that weigh/measure the amount of liquid in a fixed tank/vessel are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods that provide load cell failure detection of the liquid tank measuring system and the ability to continue operations post load cell failure detection.
