  • Publication number: 20240271735
    Abstract: A valve coupling assembly has a first fluid line connector with a first fluid line and a second fluid line connector with a second fluid line. In an operational state, the first and second fluid line connector are engaged to each other and the first fluid line and the second fluid line are connected in fluid communication. In a disengaged state, the first fluid line connector and the second fluid line connector are disengaged from each other and the first and second fluid line are disconnected from each other. A first valve is arranged in the first fluid line, the first valve being configured to control a flow of a fluid in the first fluid line. In a closed state of the first valve, the first fluid line is sealed, and, in an open state of the first valve, the first fluid line is open. The second fluid line connector comprises at least one push element mounted to a body of the second fluid line connector.

  • Publication number: 20210317935
    Abstract: A profile clamp has a clamp strip that has a base with flanks on both sides. A flank angle ? is enclosed between the flanks and a clamping head is arranged at each end of the clamp strip. For even stress distribution, the flank angle ? decreases from a clamping head of the clamp strip up to a region diametrically opposite the clamping heads, and then increases again from that region to the other clamping head.

  • Publication number: 20210164597
    Abstract: A clip has a clip strap which has a first edge and a second edge and a clamping device for clamping the clip strap. The clip strap has recesses which are arranged between the first edge and the second edge and are spaced apart. The clamping device has a guide channel designed so as to complement the clip strap, for guiding through the clip strap. The clamping device has at least one first sprung detent tongue having a first free end, which protrudes into the guide channel and is oriented obliquely with respect to a clamping direction of the clip strap predefined by the guide channel in such a way that when the clip strap is guided through the guide channel in the clamping direction, the first free end latches successively into recesses of the clip strap.

  • Patent number: 10975993
    Abstract: A fluid line connector and assembly provides remote securement detection and is hence equipped for initial assembly, subsequent quality inspection, and subsequent service techniques that are automated, robotic, and/or autonomous. The fluid line connector includes a body, a radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip, and a switch. The body has a passage for fluid-flow therethrough. The RFID chip has an antenna for transmitting and receiving radio frequency (RF) signals. The switch interacts with the antenna to enable the antenna to transmit and receive RF signals, and to alternatively disable the antenna from transmitting and receiving RF signals.

  • Patent number: 10544812
    Abstract: The invention relates to a clamp comprising a clamp band having a clamping head with two clamping jaws, in each of which a guide-through opening is formed, through which a clamping element for clamping the clamp is guided, wherein at least one contact surface is formed on a respective edge of the guide-through openings, on which contact surface a support surface of the clamping element can at least partially be contacted. In order to achieve minimum inner tensions in the clip, the clamping jaws are arranged at an angle to one another, wherein at least one reinforcing bead is formed in the clamping jaws and one of the clamping jaws has an anti-rotation means for the clamping element.

  • Patent number: 10490993
    Abstract: A wind-protection casing includes a plastic shell having a first partial shell and a second partial shell, wherein the first partial shell and the second partial shell surround an accommodating space and form a first and second line opening, which connect the accommodating space with the surrounding region outside the accommodating space. A retaining means is provided with an accommodating geometry for a line plug connector, which is arranged on the first partial shell and is designed in such a way that a line plug connector accommodated by the accommodating geometry is retained in the accommodating space at a distance from the first partial shell and the second partial shell via an air gap. A plug-connector device including such a wind-protection casing of this type is also provided, wherein a line plug connector is accommodated in the accommodating geometry.

  • Patent number: 10295097
    Abstract: A coupling connection device includes a line coupling connector and a wind guard. The line coupling connector has first and second coupling elements, fitted together in an axial direction. Arresting means of the first coupling element engage with the second coupling element. The wind guard has a plastic shell with a first part-shell and a second part-shell, enclosing a receiving space, and forming first and second line openings, which connect the receiving space to the surrounding region. The first coupling element is coupled in an axially fixed manner in the axial direction to the first part-shell and/or the second part-shell in the receiving space by interlocking engagement. By a movement of the wind guard in the axial direction and away from the second coupling element, an arresting means can be actuated and the first coupling element can be separated from the second coupling element.

  • Patent number: 10220571
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a plug-in connector, and to a plug-in connector comprising a first tubular component and a second tubular component, and also a first connection geometry and a second connection geometry. A method for producing a plug-in connector is to be made available that permits an easier modification of the relative angle between the longitudinal axes of the two components in the finished plug-in connector. To this end, the two connection geometries are arranged in a connection plane inclined with respect to the longitudinal axes, such that the relative angle between the longitudinal axes can be modified by rotating the components. After a relative angle has been selected, the two connection geometries are connected by integral bonding.
