  • Publication number: 20240044427
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a connector for piping and, more specifically, to a connector for piping which may prevent a cap nut part from being automatically loosened or locked due to external force, such as an external vibration, a bump, or a shock, that is not deliberately applied, before a connector product is used, and in addition, may prevent an O-ring from being separated from the inside of the connector due to pressing caused by erroneous assembly in a pipe fastening process. To this end, the connector for piping comprises: a body part of a pipe body; the cap nut part; a collet part; and an anti-loosening part which prevents the cap nut part from being loosened or locked due to external force that is not deliberately applied.

  • Patent number: 10969045
    Abstract: A shower head adapter includes a body part, which has one side connected to the inner circumferential surface of the inlet side of a main shower head body and the other side connected to a hose. The shower head adapter also includes a first circular groove formed along the outer circumferential surface thereof and a main body connecting part, which has an end on the other side protruding inwards from the inner circumferential surface thereof. A part of the inner circumferential surface is coupled to the outer circumferential surface of the inlet side of the main shower head body. A snap ring is inserted in the first circular groove. The diameter of the outer circumferential surface of the snap ring is larger than the diameter of the protruding inner circumferential surface of the main body connecting part.

  • Publication number: 20200386352
    Abstract: A cap loosening prevention device prevents a cap from loosening when the cap is fitted to a body. The device includes a body ring formed in a circular shape along the circumference of the body and having a cut portion. A protruding part is formed on the outward surface of the body ring. The protruding part has an incline with respect to the outward direction of the body ring, and the uppermost end of the protruding part is cut perpendicularly with respect to the outward direction of the body ring. The cap is prevented from completely loosening in the direction opposite to the rotational direction of the cap when the cap is fitted to the body, such that the cap can be firmly coupled to the body without separating from the body. The rotation of the cap is minimized to enable a rapid operation when a pipe is replaced.

  • Patent number: 8403370
    Abstract: A pipe coupling device includes a body part, fastening parts, and pressurizing parts. The body part has a multi-stepped insertion hole penetrating the central portion thereof, a stepped latching portion formed on the inner circumference of the insertion hole, and first projections continuously formed on the upper surfaces of the externally threaded portions. Each of the fastening parts has an internally threaded portion formed on the inner circumference thereof and is screwed onto the externally threaded portion, a coupling hole penetrating the central portion thereof so as to be in communication with the insertion hole, a first inclined plane formed around the boundary between the internally threaded portion and the insertion hole. Each of the pressurizing parts has a stepped foot portion formed on the outer circumference of one side thereof.
