International Classification:

A62C 3100

US Classification:

239443, 239440, 239449, 23922211, 23922217

Abstract:

A shower head has a housing with a water inlet and a control valve which connects to the housing inlet and has a plurality of water outlets. The control valve regulates the flow of water to a plurality of circumferentially arranged spray openings and to a nozzle which is located within the periphery of the spray openings. The nozzle has the ability to turn or spin, thus providing a soft spray which may be independent of or concurrent with the discharge of water from the spray openings. The nozzle may also wobble, which movement may be described as nutational, or the slow movement of the axis of the nozzle about another axis. Wobbling movement provides a somewhat more concentrated spray than that provided when the nozzle only spins. The shower head further has an auxiliary port which may be utilized with other spray devices such as fixed sprays or hand-held shower heads.

Assignee:

Swagelok Quick-Connect Co. - Hudson OH

International Classification:

B23P 1100

US Classification:

29508

Abstract:

An end fitting is secured to a flexible metal hose comprised of a corrugated tube enclosed in a tubular braid in a manner that provides a single weld operation. An end of the hose is cut to bring the tube and braid ends into alignment. Thereafter, an end fitting is moved over the hose end and radially swaged into gripping engagement with the hose. A circumferential deep penetration weld integrally secures all the components, namely, the tube, the braid, and the fitting.

International Classification:

B21D 3900

US Classification:

29508

Abstract:

A fitting is secured to a flexible metal hose comprised of a corrugated tube, braid, and sleeve in a manner that provides a single weld operation. An end of the tube is axially compressed to define a generally planar surface with the braid and sleeve ends. Thereafter, a consumable flanged fitting is welded in a single weld to integrally secure all four components, namely, the tube, braid, sleeve, and fitting together.

Angela Rodriguez - Cleveland OH, US

International Classification:

F16L 33/207

Abstract:

A hose assembly includes a hose, a connector body, and a collar. The connector body has an outer end portion defining a fluid connector, an inner end defining a nose portion received in an inner bore of the hose end portion, and an intermediate portion including first and second annular flanges spaced apart to define a dog lock groove. The collar includes an outer end portion defining an inner radial dog lock received in the dog lock groove, an annular step portion extending radially outward of and axially inward of the dog lock in axial alignment with the first annular flange, and an inner end portion extending radially outward of and axially inward from the step portion, the inner end portion being in radial compression against an outer surface of the hose end portion.

International Classification:

F16L 55/07
F16L 11/20

Abstract:

A hose assembly includes an inner core tube, a metal outer tube, a first coupling member, and a first collar. The first coupling member has an inboard nose portion extending into a first end of the inner core tube. The metal outer tube surrounds the inner core tube and terminates at a first end axially inward of the first end of the inner core tube, with an outer cavity disposed between the inner core tube and the metal outer tube. The first collar has an outboard clamping portion surrounding the nose portion for clamping retention of the first end of the inner core tube therebetween, and an inboard venting portion welded to the first end of the metal outer tube, with the inboard venting portion including a venting port in fluid communication with the outer cavity.
