US 2024/0252806 A1 · FLUID-FITTING TOOL

Abstract

A fluid-fitting tool is disclosed that can align with and rotationally couple with a fluid fitting where the fluid-fitting tool can include a passage and an engagement feature for engaging against the fluid fitting such that when the fluid-fitting tool is spaced apart from the fluid fitting, the fluid-fitting tool can move in a longitudinal direction toward and away from the fluid fitting, and can rotate relative to the fluid fitting around a longitudinal axis of the passage, and when a portion of the fluid-fitting tool and the fluid fitting are rotationally aligned and longitudinally overlap, the fluid-fitting tool can move longitudinally relative to the fluid fitting, and the fluid fitting is rotated when the fluid-fitting tool is rotated around a longitudinal axis of the passage.

Dependent claims

A fluid-fitting tool comprising:

a body, a first arm, and a second arm, the body having an inner surface forming a passage that extends through the body, and a first engagement feature comprising a first wall that extends along the inner surface of the passage, the first and second arms forming a cavity that is continuous with the passage such that a longitudinal axis of the passage extends through the cavity;
wherein the passage is configured to receive at least a portion of a fluid fitting therein such that the first engagement feature engages an outer surface of the fluid fitting and rotationally couples the body and the fluid fitting such that, when the body is rotated around a longitudinal axis of the passage, the first engagement feature is configured to rotate the fluid fitting.
