  • Publication number: 20240100313
    Abstract: A coupling arrangement for use in an air delivery circuit includes a first connector tube defining a first passage therethrough and a second connector tube defining a second passage therethrough. The second connector tube telescopically receives a portion of the first connector tube within the second passage. A release mechanism includes wedges coupled to the first or second connector tube. The first and second connector tubes have a number of corresponding features that latch the first connector tube within the second passage of the second connector tube when the first connector tube is axially inserted along the longitudinal axis a predetermined distance. Actuation of the wedges radially toward the longitudinal axis causes axial movement among the first connector tube and the second connector tube a second predetermined distance that is sufficient to unlatch the corresponding features.

  • Publication number: 20200254800
    Abstract: An example printable structure comprises a first fabric layer that includes a first side that is printable with water-based ink. The first fabric layer is permissive to migration of the water based ink through the first fabric layer. A first adhesive layer is bonded to a second side of the first fabric layer. An ink migration barrier is bonded to the first adhesive layer opposite the first fabric layer, a second adhesive layer is bonded to the ink migration barrier opposite the first adhesive layer, and a second fabric layer is bonded to the second adhesive layer opposite the ink migration barrier. The second fabric layer is permissive to migration of the water-based ink through the second fabric layer. The ink migration barrier is configured to provide resistance to ink bleed from the first fabric layer to the second fabric layer.
