Abstract: A tubing clamp and method using an inner ring providing shape support to a layflat tubing to provide a compression surface against which an outer split ring with segmented pressure fingers can be compressed using an overcenter clamp to secure a back folded first end of a piece of tubing to a second overlaid tubing end.

Abstract: A refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator includes a body defining a storage space; a door selectively shielding the storage space; a container connecting part disposed in the storage space or the door; a water supply container separably coupled to the container connecting part, the water supply container including an opening for injecting water; an ice making device for making ice using the water supplied from the water supply container; a water supply passage fluidly connecting the water supply container to the ice making device, the water supply passage extending in an inside direction of the water supply container; and a pump connected to the water supply passage to supply the water within the water supply container into the ice making device. According to the refrigerator, installation cost is reduced, and quality and reliability are improved.

Abstract: A pressurized water container for water fountains, ponds, swimming pools, and aquariums has at least two housing parts and at least one seal arranged between the at least two housing parts, wherein the at least two housing parts are connectable to one another in a lockable way. The at least two housing parts have projections and matching recesses, wherein the projections engage the recesses and, by a displacement of the at least two housing parts relative to one another in opposite directions, they are lockable on one another and releasable from one another when reversing the displacement.

Abstract: A remotely releasable brake hose coupler for pressure fluid operated brake systems, such as on a motor truck and semi-trailer unit, and a retrieval mechanism for retrieving flexible hoses connected to the coupler. Pressure air from the truck tractor brake system is conducted through a valve to an actuator for effecting movement of a coupler member to release engagement with a corresponding coupler fitting mounted on a trailer. One or more air brake hoses connected to respective remotely releasable couplers are connected to tensioning mechanisms and to a movable boom mounted on the truck tractor for extending the hoses during a remote release operation and then retracting the hoses and couplers to a stored position when the remotely releasable couplers are disconnected from the trailer fittings.

Abstract: A pneumatic coupling is provided. The pneumatic coupling is configured to couple a plurality of pneumatic lines together. According to the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the pneumatic coupling includes first and second housings and a plurality of fittings sized to receive the pneumatic lines.

Abstract: The invention provides a connector system and methods for attaching a first and second connector. Each connector includes an elongate connector body and a coupling nut rotatably coupled about the connector body. Each coupling nut includes a center plate and a pair of latch arms, with each arm having a groove therein to define a tooth at a distal end of each arm. The arms are substantially parallel to the connector body. Each connector further includes at least one resilient member which resists movement of the arms away from their parallel orientation relative to the elongate body. The first and second connectors may be connected by abutting the connector bodies and rotating the coupling nuts so that the grooves and teeth of corresponding arms mate with each other.

Abstract: In an apparatus for connecting a hose end to a connecting spigot in the form of one half of a dog clutch on which a hose socket is formed, on to which the hose end is slipped and clamped, and which is enclosed by a clamp formed by at least two part shells and has a tension lever closure whose tension lever is hinged to a part shell and whose spring connects the tension lever releasably to the other part shell, the device having formed on the connecting spigot an annular collar engaged over by retaining flanges on one side of the part shells, while the clamping flanges forcing the hose against the socket are provided on the other side of the part shells, the retaining flanges being of dimensions such that the clamp is prevented from being pulled off axially of the socket even when the tension lever closure is opened, the clamp having a pivot pin with a shank, the dog clutch having clutch halves provides with cams, a U-shaped bent wire member which non-rotatably connects the clamp to the connecting spigot, the
