  • Patent number: 11123782
    Abstract: A hand-held tool for straightening tubing such as brake fluid lines in vehicles, the tool provides a housing having an outer covering, internally thereof, a series of sets of rollers, that are adjustable radially, supported by end frames, and intermediate the rollers and the outer covering is an adjuster ring, shiftable longitudinally within the housing, operatively associated with the rollers, such that when the adjuster ring is pulled outwardly, longitudinally, from the tool housing, the rollers shift radially outwardly, for accommodating larger tubing, and when the adjuster ring is pushed inwardly of the housing, the rollers are forced inwardly against smaller diameter tubing, in preparation for its straightening. A sector of the tool, usually along a quadrant, is opened from one end to the other of the tool, so as to allow the tool to be applied to the tubing to be straightened, anywhere along its length, and not only at its ends.

  • Patent number: 9534735
    Abstract: A high pressure dispensing nozzle for providing fuel from an inlet reserve to a connector of an outlet receptacle, including a generally tubular nozzle construction having an outer sleeve extending from adjacent a proximal end towards a distal end of the nozzle construction, an internal passageway construction disposed within the outer sleeve, and a plurality of radially movable jaw members disposed between the internal passageway construction and the outer sleeve extending to near the distal end of the tubular construction, wherein the internal passageway construction includes interacting components responsive to insertion of the connector into the distal end and engagement thereof with the internal passageway construction to effect movement of the jaws to lock the connector in engagement and to establish a fuel passageway through the nozzle construction for the delivery of fuel therethrough and wherein the internal passageway construction components include a pistonably slideable outlet tube construction th

  • Publication number: 20130327439
    Abstract: A high pressure dispensing nozzle for providing fuel from a reserve to a connector of an outlet receptacle, having a generally tubular nozzle construction, with an outer sleeve, an internal passageway constructed within the sleeve, a plurality of jaw members provided near the distal end of the tubular construction and provided for engagement to lock the connector to establish a fuel passageway through the nozzle for delivery of fuel therethrough and to the receiving tank. The nozzle includes a slidable piston that operates the various components for locking the jaws in position and aligning the fuel passageway with the fuel tank.
