Abstract
A compression-type fitting for quick connection of two hoses or hose sections and pipe and hose section in-line is adapted primarily for industrial, heavy duty hoses typically in one to three inches in diameter, although not so limited. A commercial application for which the connector has shown to be particularly useful is in the media blasting industry where hoses are subject to extreme conditions and break or leak after a relatively short period of use, requiring frequent shut down and repair or replacement of the hoses.
Claims12
A compression-type quick connect/disconnect connector system for a hose, particularly suited for connecting two hose ends together in a substantially leak-proof coupling, the industrial hose connector system comprising;
- a. A compression body having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the inner surface defines a receptacle for a first hose;
- b. A compression lock adapted to be secured to the outer surface of the compression body;
- c. A compression system positioned between the compression body and the compression lock, the compression system having a first lock end secured to the compression body and adapted to receive a first hose end, and a second lock end extending outwardly from the compression body and adapted to engage the compression lock nut a second hose end, wherein the compression lock nut is adapted for being moved toward the compression body and for compressing the compression system into sealing contact with the second hose end.
The connector system of claim, wherein the compression body includes a receptor for holding the ring and limiting the movement of each plate.
