  • Patent number: 11634275
    Abstract: A fluid coupling includes a body, a poppet valve assembly, a handle shaft assembly, and a retention member. The body has a fluid conduit, a through-hole extending through a sidewall, and one or more openings that extend between an external surface of the body and an interior of the through hole. The poppet valve assembly is disposed within the fluid conduit and is selectively movable between an open position and a closed position. The handle shaft assembly extends through the through-hole and into the fluid conduit and is interconnected with the poppet valve assembly such that the handle shaft assembly can be actuated to move the poppet valve assembly between the open position and the closed position. The retention member is insertable through the one or more openings and into the through-hole to interact with the handle shaft assembly to selectively hold the handle shaft assembly in the body.

  • Patent number: 10767799
    Abstract: A fluid system coupler includes a coupler body having an open end for receiving an adaptor therein. A seal assembly is movably disposed within the coupler body for selective sealing engagement with an adaptor. Lever cams pivot into or out of slots in the coupler body between locked and unlocked positions to fasten or unfasten the adaptor to the coupler. A handle is movably connected to the coupler body. Movement of the handle moves the seal assembly within the coupler body. Movement of the handle also results in movement of the lever cams between the locked and unlocked positions. A poppet assembly is mounted to the seal assembly. The poppet assembly can selectively open or close a fluid passageway through the coupler.

  • Publication number: 20150177051
    Abstract: A tanker management system includes an integrated measurement unit that monitors liquid volumes managed by a tanker and records transfer volumes. The measurement unit has a tank interface that receives liquid level measurements for a tanker reservoir and a transfer interface that receives measurements for liquid transfers between the tanker reservoir and external liquid stores. The tanker management system has a control system that calculates the volume of liquid retained in the tanker reservoir, based on the received level measurements, and the volume of liquid exchanged with an external liquid store, based on the received measurements. The control system and measurement unit are an integrated unit within a unitary housing that includes an operator interface.
