Abstract: A pipe stalk for a pipe-in-pipe pipeline, the pipe stalk including an outer pipe and at least one inner pipe located within the outer pipe, and having a retaining assembly moveable between a first configuration for preventing axial movement of the inner pipe with respect to the outer pipe in a downwards direction and a second configuration for allowing axial movement of the outer pipe with respect to the inner pipe, whereby axial movement of the inner pipe with respect to the outer pipe can be prevented when the outer pipe is held during welding to an adjacent pipe stalk.

Abstract: A pipe stalk for a pipe-in-pipe pipeline, said pipe stalk including an outer pipe and at least one inner pipe located within the outer pipe, and having retaining assembly moveable between a first configuration for preventing axial movement of the inner pipe with respect to the outer pipe in a downwards direction and a second configuration for allowing axial movement of the outer pipe with respect to the inner pipe, whereby axial movement of the inner pipe with respect to the outer pipe can be prevented when the outer pipe is held during welding to an adjacent pipe stalk. CAPEX and OPEX are reduced by reducing the time taken to join the ends of adjacent pipes and reducing the total number of welds required, and by avoiding the need for the use of half shells.

Abstract: A connector for connecting a pump to a portable engine. The engine being connected to the pump through a shaft extending along a central axis and adapted to be mechanically connected to the engine. The connector includes a first and second coupling members designed to be attached together. The first coupling member including a first contact surface having a plane perpendicular to the central axis, a first sleeve projecting outwardly from the first contact surface. The first sleeve having a radius larger than the radius of the shaft. The first coupling member further including at least one flange projecting inwardly from the sleeve. The flange defines at least one opening. The second coupling member is coaxial to the central axis and is adapted to be installed on the other one of the pump and the engine. The second coupling member comprises a second contact surface complementary to the first contact surface, a second sleeve projecting outwardly from the second contact surface.

Abstract: A fuel supply adapter for pumping fuel out of fuel cans through a pump. The adapter is shaped to fit in the pouring neck of the fuel can and be secured therein. The adapter has a U-shaped cross-section with a thick bottom portion and a hollow top portion, and a connector is located inside the top portion so it does not interfere with the closing of the cap of the fuel can. Radial gripping pins are provided inside the bore the handle the adapter.

Abstract: A fuel injector for an internal combustion engine comprising a body traversed by an injection conduit and provided with a lateral fuel inlet located in the lower half of the body, the body containing an injector needle continued by a push-member provided with a head upon which bears a return spring urging the injection needle to the closed position and prestressed by means of an adjusting screw, the push-member being sufficiently short to allow the lateral fuel intake to be located above the upper end of the assembly constituted by the adjusting screw, the spring, the push-member and the needle.
