20100001513 | Low Profile Seal For Floating Connector Interface - An electrical connector has a flexible boot to create a flexible, sealed interface. A connector body has a plurality of pin receivers positioned within a tubular sleeve. The flexible boot is received in the connector body and includes a tubular body of elastically flexible material. The tubular body has a body diameter dimensionally controlled to provide an interference fit when received in the tubular sleeve. A boot flexible sleeve is positioned outward of the tubular body. A boot joining wall homogenously joins the tubular body to the flexible sleeve. A flange extends from a free end of the flexible sleeve defining a circular ring oriented transverse to and encircling the flexible sleeve. A boot ring fixes the flange to a panel. The connector body is thereafter elastically displaceable with respect to the panel when the tubular body deflects with respect to the flexible sleeve and the flange. | 01-07-2010 |

20120038145 | Flange lock - A flange lock reduces the likelihood of theft of equipment connected by one or more flanges. The flange lock may include a specialized nut clamping the flanges together, a specialized bolt having a ribbed section to prevent rotation of the bolt, an anti-rotation bracket over a specialized nut or over a conventional nut thereby preventing rotation of the nut and/or a shim between the flanges minimizing the possibility of sawing through a security bolt. | 02-16-2012 |
20120074686 | CONNECTOR FOR AN OIL DRAIN VALVE - A connector for an oil drain valve has a body and a locking arm. The body has a sleeve and two pivotal ears separately formed on and protrude from the outer surface of the sleeve. Each pivotal ear has a pivotal hole and a locking hole. The locking arm is pivotally mounted between the pivotal ears and has a cam segment and a locking hole. The cam segment is formed on one end of the locking arm and is eccentric to a pivoting hole in the locking arm. The locking hole is formed through the locking arm and selectively aligns with the locking holes in the pivotal ears of the body. Accordingly, the connector can provide an excellent sealing effect and keep the connector disengaging unintentionally from the oil drain valve during the oil-draining process. | 03-29-2012 |
