  • Patent number: 5364134
    Abstract: An end fitting for flexible conduit or the like includes a generally cylindrical conduit insert which has a retainer rim, a journal barrel, and a base ring. The retainer rim and journal barrel are inserted into the conduit up to the base ring. A crimp ring dimensioned to engage the outer surface of the conduit, press fits the conduit to the journal barrel. The retainer rim being of a diameter larger then the diameter of the journal barrel prevents removal of the insert past the crimp ring. The base ring also being of a larger diameter than the journal barrel limits the depth of insertion of the insert into the conduit. The conduit insert further has a force flange and a tip which extend outward from the base ring. A cone washer is received by the tip and abuts a first surface of the force flange. A threaded cap has an end wall with a coaxial bore which is in rotatable engagement with the base ring with the end wall engaging a second surface of the force flange.

  • Patent number: 5228571
    Abstract: A tubing and tubing fitting selection apparatus includes the provision of a tubing size identifying code letter on a rectangular box enclosure having a partial cut out exposing portions of the contained coil, there being a different code letter for coils of different dimensional characteristics. A display is provided on the side of the coil box which includes a first array of tubing selection indicia, specifically rows of tubing code letters, the letters of the same rows representing tubing of the same outside diameter size, which is aligned with an array of vertically oriented tubing-fitting indicia which specifically comprise background lining, dots, plain coloring, or speckled indicia.
