Abstract: A connector for use with a coupled first hose and second hose, the second hose including a hose fastener is provided including a connector body configured to mount to a first hose end. An arm extends generally perpendicularly from the connector body. A front side of the arm has a first end arranged at an angle to the arm. The first end of the arm is configured to engage a portion of the hose fastener. A back side of the arm has a biasing mechanism extending therefrom. The arm is pivotally mounted to the connector.

Abstract: A ground-hole forming apparatus is provided and includes a drivable element, a bulb coupled to an end of the drivable element and including first and second resilient portions, a driving element including first and second ends and being movable by an operator in first and second directions such that the first and second ends drivably impact the first and second resilient portions of the bulb, respectively, to thereby drive the drivable element in the first and second directions, respectively. The first and second resilient portions are configured to absorb and deaden respective impacts thereof with the first and second ends.

Abstract: A pipe coupling assembly for preventing longitudinal movement of first and second coupling rings disposed on first and second pipe sections is provided. The pipe coupling assembly includes a first clamping assembly disposed around a portion of an outer surface of the first pipe section and to abut against the first coupling ring. The pipe coupling assembly further includes a second clamping assembly disposed around a portion of an outer surface of the second pipe section and to abut against the second coupling ring. The pipe coupling assembly further includes a first threaded shaft coupled to both the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly to prevent longitudinal movement of the first and second clamping assemblies.
