Abstract:

A compressed air supply system includes an engine. The engine has at least one combustion chamber defined by a cylinder, a piston operable to reciprocate within the piston, and an injector operable to inject fuel into the cylinder. The engine further includes at least one intake valve, at least one exhaust valve, and at least one compressed air valve, all associated with the cylinder. The engine has a combustion cycle for producing power, wherein the combustion cycle includes a compression stroke, a power stroke, an exhaust stroke, and an intake stroke. The engine also has an air compression cycle for producing compressed air. The air compression cycle includes an air compression intake stroke and an air compression stroke. At least one control component is in communication with the engine and is configured to selectively control the engine to alternate between the combustion cycle and the air compression cycle.

F16L 21/03
F16L 21/08
F16L 15/00

Abstract:

A coupler releasably couples a tube to a threaded port. The tube has a circumferential bead formed on one end to engage the coupler. The coupler includes a fitting with a threaded portion to threadedly engage the port. A central passage extends through the fitting and is made up of a first cavity, a second cavity, and a third cavity.The second cavity has a larger diameter than the third cavity, which is at least partially surrounded by the threaded portion of the fitting. When inserted into the central passage, the tube extends at least partially into the portion of the third cavity surrounded by the threaded portion of the fitting. The coupler further includes a retainer that engages the bead on the tube to limit movement of the tube relative to the retainer when the tube is inserted into the central passage.

International Classification:

F16L 37/02

US Classification:

285 33

Abstract:

A connector system includes a plug portion and a receiving portion. The plug portion includes a resilient retention portion at the forward end of the plug portion, a sealing member distal from the retention portion, an orientation plate rigidly connected to the plug portion, wherein the orientation plate has a frontal profile including one or more straight edges. The receiving portion includes, a hole through the receiving portion, wherein the hole has a diameter smaller than a largest diameter of the resilient retention portion, a shoulder on one side of the receiving portion that cooperates with the retention portion to fix the axial position of the plug portion in the receiving portion, a recess on the opposite side of the receiving portion, wherein the recess has a frontal shape similar to the frontal profile of the orientation plate, wherein the orientation plate fits within the recess to fix the rotational orientation of the plug portion with respect to the receiving portion.

International Classification:

F16L 19/00

US Classification:

285 24

Abstract:

A fitting assembly for connecting a first tube to a second tube includes first and second end fittings fixedly coupled to the first and second tubes, respectively. The first end fitting has a first aperture and a first sealing surface. The second end fitting is sized to be at least partially received within the first aperture and includes a second aperture extending through the second end fitting. The second end fitting further includes a second sealing surface. A seal is disposed between the first sealing surface and the second sealing surface. A lock fitting is slidingly associated with the second tube, and is also rotatable about the second tube. The lock fitting selectively engages the second fitting to compress the seal between the first and second sealing surface.
