A fluid container for use in accessing an obstructed fill port of a machine for inserting fluids therein includes a housing for containing a fluid, the housing having a top surface with an opening formed therein. A collapsible tube is aligned with the opening and affixed to the housing for providing a fluid exit path, the tube being manually extended and retracted. A channel is formed on the top surface of the housing for receiving the collapsible tube when the tube is in a retracted lateral pos...

The invention provides a fluid coupling for coupling a fluid source with a fluid supply line. The fluid coupling comprises a gladhand mounted to a body via a swivel connection. The gladhand is movable between a stored and protected position, wherein an outlet of the gladhand rests against a rubber cup to prevent fluid flow therefrom, and a use position, wherein the gladhand is removed from the rubber cup and can be connected to a fluid supply line. Additionally, the fluid coupling comprises a va...

This invention relates to a fluid accumulator comprising a wall (2) encompassing a reservoir (1) for receiving the fluid, part of the wall being elastically deformable. The wall (2) of the fluid accumulator comprises a first wall portion (2A) that is made of a first elastically deformable composite, with fibrous reinforcement material applied in a first density, and a second wall portion (2B) that is made of a second composite with fibrous reinforcement material applied in a second density and a...

The bedding of the present invention comprises a sealed bag body having an elastic body with a plurality of continuous pores and gas sealed with looseness present in the upper part of the elastic body. The bedding also includes a water-sealed bag body disposed on an upper part of the bag body, the water-sealed bag body having an elastic body with a plurality of continuous pores and liquid sealed therein. The elastic body within the water-sealed bag body has upper and lower parts having looseness...

An object is to improve the durability of wings and suppress vibration of the wings and generation of noise. A fluid machine includes a rotatably supported wing support, and a plurality of wings (21) formed on the wing support at a plurality of circumferential locations and protruding radially outward. The wings (21) each include a first wing element extending radially outward from a first attachment position on the wing support, a second wing element extending radially outward from a second att...

A fluid coupling transmits power from a drive side to a driven side by utilizing kinetic energy of fluid such as oil. The fluid coupling comprises a pump impeller (4) provided on a drive shaft (1), a turbine impeller (5) provided on a driven shaft (9), a housing (20) fixed to the pump impeller (4) and surrounding the turbine impeller, and a multiple disc clutch provided between a drive shaft side and a driven shaft side. The multiple disc clutch is operated to couple the drive shaft (1) and the ...

A surgical irrigating fluid composition, especially for endoscopic surgery, is provided comprising a rinsing fluid and nitrous oxide added as a marker to the rinsing fluid in an amount which is detectable in the expired breath from a mammal, especially man, that is subjected to the surgery.

A high-pressure fuel pump for internal combustion engines with direct injection includes a housing with a drive chamber in the housing and an eccentric shaft disposed in the drive chamber. A pumping element can be set into a reciprocating motion via the eccentric shaft. To lengthen the service life of the fluid pump the drive chamber in a region located ahead of the pumping element in terms of the direction of rotation of the eccentric shaft or camshaft, communicates with a lubricant relief regi...

A fluid dispenser comprising: a fluid reservoir (12) defining at least one actuating wall (21) suitable for being displaced; a dispensing orifice (41); and spring means (7) suitable for loading the actuating wall into a state in which the volume of the reservoir is at its maximum; said fluid dispenser being characterized in that the spring means (7) co-operate with cocking means (11) suitable for bringing the spring means to a state loading the actuating wall from an initial state in which the s...

Techniques for fluid measurement include the ability to introduce a vibration to a container wall and to detect the vibration after the vibration has propagated at least partially around the container wall. Based on the detection of the vibration, the techniques also include the ability to determine a fluid state.
