Publication number: 20230184365Abstract: A connection for a fluid includes a pipe; a connector in which a fluid is flows, and a housing in which the pipe is at least partially inserted. The pipe and the connector are in fluidic communication. A gasket is arranged in the housing and radially interposed between the pipe and the connector to prevent any leakage of fluid between the pipe and the connector. A closing element in which the pipe is inserted, is mounted both to the pipe (2) and to the connector by two respective welds ensuring fluid tightness.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicant: HUTCHINSON S.R.L.Inventors: Nicola MORETTI, Roberto BERTALMIO, Stéphane ULLY, Fabrizio ROCCA

Patent number: 11598461Abstract: A fluidic connection device for a fluid circuit of a motor vehicle includes a female fluidic connector, a U-shaped lock, and a locking indicator. The female fluidic connector includes a housing configured to receive a male fluidic connector, by translation along an axis (A). The U-shaped lock is carried by the female connector and includes a pair of elastically deformable legs that arranged substantially in a first plane, perpendicular to the axis (A) and on either side of the axis (A) and being configured to cooperate by elastic snap-fitting with the male connector to ensure retention of the male connector in the female connector along the axis (A). The locking indicator is carried by the female connector and configured to be translated in a second plane, perpendicular to the axis (A), between a first position for releasing the locking indicator and a second position for locking the locking indicator.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2019Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: HUTCHINSONInventors: Antoine Thillet, Steeven Escure, Stéphane Ully

Patent number: 8777275Abstract: A connection device including a tubular male termination, a connecting means adapted to be mounted around and accommodated in a groove of the female termination, and a locking member for locking these means in the female termination to be mounted around the male termination to reversibly move these means into a locking position in the groove. The device includes means for immobilizing and releasing the locking member that are rigidly fastened to the male termination, these means being adapted to prevent the connecting means from being moved to the locking position unless the male termination occupies a predetermined insertion position in the female termination and, only if the male termination has reached that position, to release the locking member, while allowing its movement toward the female termination so that a thrust on this member moves the connecting means into the locking position.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2012Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: HutchinsonInventors: Stéphane Ully, Denis Godeau

Patent number: 8336924Abstract: Coupling device is provided having a male tubular end fitting; a connection mechanism to be mounted around the male end fitting by being coupled to a female end fitting and including a coupling end to be housed in a groove of the female end fitting; and a locking member for locking this connection mechanism that is to be mounted around the male end fitting in order reversibly to bring the coupling end into a locked position in the groove. The connection mechanism includes a radially internal bearing zone to be mounted against the male end fitting and ending in the coupling end, which includes tabs that are elastically deformable in the radial direction extending the bearing zone, each tab being able to be jammed in the locking position by flexing against the groove and against one of the guide and locking-aid ramps of the male end fitting.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2010Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: HutchinsonInventors: Stéphane Ully, Damien Gillet
