US Patent:

53641353, Nov 15, 1994

Filed:

Jul 28, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/099661

Inventors:

Neill E. Anderson - Valencia CA

Assignee:

Anderson-Barrows Metal Corporation - Palmdale CA

International Classification:

F16L 5507

US Classification:

285 38

Abstract:

An end fitting for flexible conduit or the like includes a generally cylindrical conduit insert which has a retainer rim, a journal barrel, and a base ring. The retainer rim and journal barrel are inserted into the conduit up to the base ring. A crimp ring dimensioned to engage the outer surface of the conduit, press fits the conduit to the journal barrel. The retainer rim being of a diameter larger then the diameter of the journal barrel prevents removal of the insert past the crimp ring. The base ring also being of a larger diameter than the journal barrel limits the depth of insertion of the insert into the conduit. The conduit insert further has a force flange and a tip which extend outward from the base ring. A cone washer is received by the tip and abuts a first surface of the force flange. A threaded cap has an end wall with a coaxial bore which is in rotatable engagement with the base ring with the end wall engaging a second surface of the force flange.

International Classification:

B65D 8504

US Classification:

206394

Abstract:

A tubing and tubing fitting selection apparatus includes the provision of a tubing size identifying code letter on a rectangular box enclosure having a partial cut out exposing portions of the contained coil, there being a different code letter for coils of different dimensional characteristics. A display is provided on the side of the coil box which includes a first array of tubing selection indicia, specifically rows of tubing code letters, the letters of the same rows representing tubing of the same outside diameter size, which is aligned with an array of vertically oriented tubing-fitting indicia which specifically comprise background lining, dots, plain coloring, or speckled indicia. The tubing-fitting indicia are provided as background indicia in association with merchandise selection indicia which are located individual in the bodies of selection matrices on the display which provide for a customer selection of such merchandise selection indicia as a permutation of two different characteristics of the fitting.
