  • Device to heat flexible hose connectors for transport vehicles
    Patent number: 10267448
    Abstract: A portable heating device for a fluid coupling in large transport vehicles and a method of using the same. The coupling includes a first coupling member and a second coupling member which are selectively engageable with each other. The heating device includes a jacket having a bore within which at least a portion of the fluid coupling is selectively received. The ends of the jacket define openings to the bore and these openings are selectively closed by fasteners which are engaged with a locking member. A heating assembly is provided to heat the coupled first and second coupling members. When the openings to the bore are closed, the jacket retains heat therein. The jacket may include insulation and a door that is selectively openable to gain access to a shut-off valve on the coupling.
