  • Publication number: 20060226650
    Abstract: An assembly includes a first member having an inner surface and a second member having an outer surface. One of the two members has greater rigidity than the other member and at least one groove. The rigid member is partially received within the less rigid member and a coupling mechanism provides radially inward pressure to generate a seal between the inner surface of the first member and the outer surface of the second member. The groove includes an opening and a base each having a predetermined width. The predetermined width of the opening is generally less than the predetermined width of the base. The more rigid member may comprise an insert with a surrounding sleeve wherein the sleeve includes the grooves.

  • Publication number: 20050156430
    Abstract: A coupling assembly includes a female member having a bore and a male member capable of being received in the bore of the female member. A trigger assembly is disposed between the male and female members and includes an actuator, housing, and biasing member. The male member includes an engagement mechanism to engage the trigger assembly and facilitate axial movement of the actuator. Axial movement of the actuator induces expansion of the biasing member and the engagement of the actuator and the male member. Accordingly, the male member is urged or propelled into the bore of the female member upon expansion of the biasing member. To disconnect, the male and female members are utilized to return the trigger assembly to an inactivated position.

  • Publication number: 20050132946
    Abstract: A fluid indicator assembly comprising an indicator tube having an upper portion and a lower portion. A stop associated with the indicator tube is defined by the transition from the upper portion to the lower portion of the indicator tube. An indicator stick is removably disposed within the indicator tube. The indicator stick has an upper portion and a lower portion. A stop associated with the indicator stick is defined by the transition from the upper portion to the lower portion of the indicator stick. The stop in the indicator tube and the stop in the indicator stick are proximate a fluid sump. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. This abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).
