  • Patent number: 9815583
    Abstract: A kit for use in combination with a squeeze bottle includes a bottle cap or plug configured to seat and seal multiple sizes of a bottle opening or spout by threaded attachment to or compression fit in the spout. The cap or plug includes an axial throughbore which receives multiple sizes and configurations of fluid tubes and discharge nozzles which when properly attached to an inserted into a squeeze bottle enables controlled pumping and discharge of fluid such as hydraulic fluid or liquids.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7415887
    Abstract: A tap assembly and method for mounting on a compound of a fluid system to test fluid in the system employs a non-elastic yet flexible band adapted to extend around a portion of the shell of the component. A tap having a fluid passageway is disposed on the band. Pliers, a ratchet or other structure may used to tighten the band thereby to force the tap to penetrate the shell of the component and establish fluid communication with the fluid therein. In one embodiment, the band is formed as two connectible sections to allow adjustability in size. The assembly and method are especially used for measuring oil pressure in an oil filter.
