A pressure balanced swivel fitting characterized in that it employs simple squeeze type packing rings and plain ring bearings to retain the swivel fitting members together in axially interfitting relation and to support said members for relative rotation, the bearing rings being disposed in the fluid flow path so that the bearing surfaces are lubricated by flow of fluid through the swivel fitting, i.e., lubricant-laden air in the case of a pneumatic power system or hydraulic oil in the case of a...

A tapered end fitting for a glass fiber rod applies a substantially uniform stress to the portion of the rod falling within the end fitting, and thus can withstand tensile loadings up to the tensile strength of the rod itself. A uniform stress distribution is achieved by designing the end fitting so that it subjects to the rod to a uniform volume strain. This, in turn, is achieved either by properly tapering the inner surface of the end fitting outer jacket, or by properly choosing the character...

A pipe fitting which is capable of being attached to an existing pipe line for diverting a part of the flow of the pipe line through a branch line connected to the fitting, without interrupting the flow through the pipe line. A cutter carried by the fitting permits cutting of the pipe as the fitting is applied thereto to enable a part of the flow through the pipe line to be diverted to the branch line; and a valve carried by the fitting shuts off the flow from the fitting until the branch line i...

A fuel inlet fitting for an internal combustion engine carburetor has a depending hollow post with exterior lugs for cooperating with interior lugs depending about an inlet opening in the roof of the float bowl of the carburetor to draw and seal the fitting against the roof. A float valve is translatable in an outlet port through the post and is retained therein by an annular lip. The fitting and float bowl roof have detent means to lock the fitting in a fixed position with respect to the float ...

The pipe fitting is formed from a pair of coupling halves which are fastened together about a continuous pipe. One of the coupling halves includes a built-in cutter assembly capable of severing the pipeline into sections which are subsequently coupled together by the coupling halves. The other coupling half includes a valve compartment which receives a valve element insert-ed between the separated pipe sections. The valve may be adjusted to permit flow between the pipe sections; to divert flow t...

A fitting room assembly includes panel sides and posts, the latter having individual levelers which include a keeper plate cocked angularly with respect to the posts so that its corners project beyond the post periphery to prevent feature strips mounted in the posts from sliding down beyond the ends of the posts. The levelers are encased by a sheath which is slidably positioned on the post. The tops of the panels and posts are covered by cornices which include an integral trackway for mounting d...

The present invention relates to a fitting for cabinets, and in particular to a base or adjustment plate for the adjustable mounting of a hinge arm of a cabinet hinge. The fitting part consists of at least one expandable fastening element which engages into a first borehole in a cabinet part and to which the fitting part on the cabinet part can be fastened, the fastening element being expandable by an expansion element by moving the fitting part relative to the fastening element.

A pair of self-clamping couplings are secured to the opposite walls of a feeder duct. The ends of a pair of branch ducts are respectively supported on the couplings. A cover closes off the space between the branch ducts and is held in position by engagement with the ends of the branch ducts.

This disclosure is directed to a hinge fitting adapted to be secured to a leaf or frame and including a casing having a slot defined by a pair of spaced walls opening through interior and exterior surfaces of the casing, a locking member nonrotatably connected to a shaft which is in turn rotatably journaled to the casing and having an end portion with means for coupling a drive tool thereto for rotating the shaft to rotate the locking member to dispose a portion thereof beyond the casing and int...

A hose fitting which comprises a body having a longitudinal fluid passage adapted to receive a hose, an O-ring provided in the fluid passage so as to give water- or air-tightness to a space formed between the outside surface of the hose inserted in the fluid passage and the surrounding wall thereof, a quick hose-disconnecting mechanism provided between the O-ring and the outlet of a fluid passage for gripping the hose in such a manner as to prevent reverse motion and disconnecting the hose by th...
