Abstract
A fluid conduit connector includes a monolithic body having a first opening at a first side and a second opening at a second side. A throughbore extends from the first opening to the second opening. A first array of holes in the first side is positioned around the first opening, each hole of the first array of holes terminating within the body. A second array of holes in the first side is positioned around the first array of holes, each hole of the second array of holes extending through the body to the second side.
Claims17
A fluid conduit connector, comprising:
- a monolithic body having a first opening at a first side and a second opening at a second side;
- a throughbore extending from the first opening to the second opening;
- a first array of holes in the first side positioned around the first opening, each hole of the first array of holes terminating within the body;
- and
- a second array of holes in the first side positioned around the first array of holes, each hole of the second array of holes extending through the body to the second side.
A fluid conduit connector system, comprising:
- a first fluid conduit connector including:
- a first body having a first opening at a first side and a second opening at a second side,
- a throughbore extending from the first opening to the second opening,
- a first array of holes in the first side positioned around the first opening, each hole of the first array of holes terminating within the first body, and
- a second array of holes in the first side positioned around the first array of holes, each hole of the second array of holes extending through the first body to the second side;
- a second fluid conduit connector including:
- a second body having a first opening at a first side and a second opening at a second side,
- a throughbore extending from the first opening to the second opening,
- a first array of holes in the second side positioned around the second opening, each hole of the first array of holes terminating within the second body, and
- a second array of holes in the first side positioned around the first opening;
- and
- a plurality of connection rods;
- wherein upon assembly:
- the first side of the second body is positioned adjacent to and facing the second side of the first body,
- the first opening of the second body is aligned with the second opening of the first body, and
- each connection rod extends through a corresponding hole of the second array of holes in the first body from the first side of the first body, out of the second side of the first body, and into a corresponding hole of the second array of holes in the second body.
