Abstract: A coupling for interconnecting pipes, hoses, or the like, includes a male coupling component configured to form a coupling with one or more female coupling components. The male coupling component comprises an annular, hollow body portion having a nose at one end defining an annular sealing surface and a locking ring mounted on an exterior of the body portion adjacent the nose. The locking ring has at least one slotted-opening extending longitudinally therethrough and is rotatable and translatable relative to and about the hollow body portion. A female coupling components is able to be locked to the male coupling component via engagement with the locking ring of the male coupling component.

Abstract: A quick-disconnect coupling including a hollow coupler body having opposite open ends and defining an adaptor-receiving socket therein, a gasket housed within the coupler body at a base of the adaptor-receiving socket, the gasket having a sealing ring and a bellows portion, and at least one locking tab connected to the coupler body such that the at least one locking tab is able to pivot relative to the coupler body between a locking position and an unlocking position for purposes of locking and releasing an adaptor to the coupler body.

Abstract: An intake manifold provided as an integral one-piece manifold body. The manifold has a base plate with a series of spaced apart discharge ports and an elongate tapered pipe portion formed integrally with the base plate, having an inlet, and having inner tapered walls for directing flow through the manifold body from the inlet through the discharge ports of the base plate.
