Patent number: 11739864Abstract: A hose assembly defines a longitudinal axis and includes an inner core tube, a reinforcement layer, a tensile strength braided layer, and a cover layer. The reinforcement layer surrounds the inner core tube and includes one or more filaments of a fiber. The tensile strength braided layer surrounds the fiber reinforcement layer and includes strands that form a braid pattern. A braid angle of the braid pattern is 10° to 40° relative to the longitudinal axis. A coverage value of the braid pattern is 20% to 50% relative to a surface of a layer adjacent the tensile strength braided layer. The cover layer surrounding the braided layer.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Parker-Hannifin CorporationInventors: Lee D. Beitzel, Ty Henry, Scott T.

Publication number: 20230243452Abstract: A metallic fitting assembly 10 employs a clip-to-body attachment for locking a tube end 12 of a fluid system component to the fitting assembly. The fitting assembly 10 includes a fitting body 14 defining a fluid flow path 26 between a first end and a second end opposite from the first end, wherein the first end is configured to receive a tube end 12 of a first fluid system component, and the fitting body 14 defines a clip slot 34 adjacent to the first end, and a material of the fitting body includes metal; and a clip 16 wherein a material of the clip includes metal. When the tube end 12 is inserted through the first end of the fitting body 14, the clip 16 is inserted through the clip slot 34 and around the tube end 12 to engage the tube end in a connected state in which the tube end 12 is locked within the fitting body 14.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2021Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Steven M.

Patent number: 11143350Abstract: A wrapped heating assembly may be wrapped around a tubular member for heating the tubular member. The wrapped heating assembly includes an outer insulation sleeve and a pocketed heating system that is fixed to an inner surface of the outer insulation sleeve in a manner that forms longitudinal pockets that extend between a first end of the outer insulation sleeve and a second end of the outer insulation sleeve. One or more heater strips are each respectively inserted longitudinally into a corresponding one of the pockets, wherein heat is generated by the heater strips when electrical current flows through the heater strips for heating the tubular member in a wrapped position. Multiple wrapped heating assemblies may be daisy chained together by electrical connectors into a heating system with a single thermostat and linked to a single power source to accommodate a wide range of configurations of tubular member systems.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2017Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Parker-Hannifin CorporationInventors: David Amos, Ty Henry

Publication number: 20170009926Abstract: A heated hose assembly (10) includes a tubular member (12), a heater device (14) having an electrical resistance element (18) in thermal communication with the tubular member (12), and a thermal regulating device (30) that controls a flow of electrical current through the heater device (14) based on a sensed temperature of the hose assembly (10). Heat generated by the heater device (14) when the electrical current flows through the resistance element (18) heats the tubular member (12) to prevent or minimize condensation of gases, or coagulation or freezing of liquids, within the tubular member (12) at relatively low ambient temperatures.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2015Publication date: January 12, 2017Inventors: Nicholas Marucci, Ty Henry, David Amos, William Tasker, Michael Swails, Anthony Maynard, Matthew Peter

Patent number: 8819922Abstract: Electrically-heated hose assembly including a hose and a first and a second fitting. The hose is constructed as having a core tube, a pair of spiral wound wires surrounding the core, and a jacket surrounding the core tube. A first end of each of the fittings is within a corresponding end of the hose, with a second end of the fittings extending beyond the hose end. The wires are wound around at least a portion of the second fitting end of a corresponding one of the fittings.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2011Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Parker-Hannifin CorporationInventors: Steven M. Powell, Mark G. Silber, Ty A. Henry, Gerald F. Edwards, James L. Johnston, Thomas B. Lininger, Matthew R. Peter, William C. Fisher, Nick A. Martino

Publication number: 20090026760Abstract: A hose coupling assembly for attachment to a hose having an inner surface and an outer surface. The hose coupling assembly includes a first member (e.g., a nipple) and second member (e.g., a socket). The nipple includes a tapered outer surface, an outwardly facing groove extending inwardly from the tapered outer surface, and a set of external threads disposed rearward of the tapered outer surface. An annular seal is positioned within the groove. The socket includes a nipple receiving portion and a hose receiving portion secured to the outer surface of the hose, where the nipple receiving portion has a set of internal threads configured to mesh with and threadingly engage the external threads on the nipple. Upon insertion of the nipple into the nipple receiving portion of the socket and the subsequent threading of the external threads of the nipple into the internal threads in the socket, the annular seal on the nipple sealingly engages the inner surface of the hose.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2008Publication date: January 29, 2009Applicant: Eaton CorporationInventor: Ty A.
