285900100 | WITH MAGNETIC ELEMENT | 8 |
20090146412 | MAGNETIC QUICK DISCONNECT FITTING - A fitting for releasably coupling two structures and for maintaining fluid communication between the two structures has a first and second fitting member. The first fitting member includes a first ferromagnetic coupling element, and the second fitting member includes a second ferromagnetic coupling element. The first and second fitting members are constructed and arranged so as to be moved into engaged relation with one another and to be moved apart from on another so as to be separate from one another. Magnetic attraction between the first and second fitting members maintains the fitting members in engagement, and the fitting members are decoupled by applying force sufficient to overcome the magnetic attraction. | 06-11-2009 |
20110084474 | HIGH RETENTION MAGNETIC COUPLING DEVICE FOR CONDUIT ATTACHMENT - A magnetic coupling having two or more elements for providing a conduit. The coupling provides high retention of conduit elements with minimum size magnetic components, while also providing for intentional detachment of the magnetically coupled elements. The coupling is configured to facilitate detachment with applied loads that are substantially less than operational retention force (i.e., breakaway force) of the magnetically coupled elements. The magnetic coupling device includes a connecting male element and a female element and at least one internal conduit integral to at least one of the connecting male and female elements. Magnetic attraction is accomplished via a magnetic circuit where the magnetic circuit includes ferromagnetic material and at least one permanent magnet. | 04-14-2011 |
20120013117 | MAGNETIC AIR HOSE CONNECTOR - A magnetic air connector ( | 01-19-2012 |
20130285365 | Magnetic Capping Device and Method - Each of a flange and an end cap have at least two magnets or magnetic pieces arranged in complementary fashion to removably attached the end cap to the flange. The end cap removable seals an orifice of the flange by magnetic attraction between the at least two magnets or magnetic pieces of the end cap and the at least two magnets or magnetic pieces of the flange. The seal between the end cap and flange provides for pressure relief as the force of a pressure within the orifice exceeds the force of magnetic attraction between the at least two magnets or magnetic pieces of the end cap and the at least two magnets or magnetic pieces of the flange. | 10-31-2013 |
20140232101 | Magnetically Attracted Fluid Transfer System - A magnetic connection system with at least three components for connecting host and target systems. A first magnetic connector is attached to the host system, a second magnetic connector is attached to the target system; a third magnetic connector or puck is positioned between the first connector and the second connector. The first, second, and third connectors fit together with their magnets aligned, and the magnetic attraction is stronger between the puck and the target system connector than the puck and the host system connector. The system can transfer fuel, data, or electricity. In one example, the system transfers fuel from a fuel supply vessel to a target vessel with minimal human effort to attach the fuel connector components. The puck can have a conduit for fuel, data, or electricity that is centrally aligned with a receiving conduit in the target system connector. | 08-21-2014 |
20150014986 | MAGNETIC CONNECTION STRUCTURE - A magnetic connection structure, includes a ring-shape magnetic sleeve body, made of mixed magnetic iron powder and plastic by means of ejection-to-mode; and a plastic fastener, provided in an arc-shape opening on both sides of the ring-shape magnetic sleeve body, for fastening a faucet seat or an ejection head. In the magnetic connection structure, the magnetic sleeve body and the plastic fastener are formed by means of ejection-to-mode separately. The magnetic sleeve body is formed by ejection-to-mode using magnetic iron powder and plastic mixed at a certain ratio; while the magnetic fastener is formed by means of ejection-to-mode separately. Then, the magnetic sleeve body and the plastic fastener are fastened together, to achieve said magnetic connection structure, that is low in production cost and easy to install. In case the plastic fastener is damaged, it can be replaced readily. | 01-15-2015 |
20160033067 | MAGNETIC VACUUM HOSE COUPLER - A magnetic vacuum hose coupler. The abstract of the disclosure is submitted herewith as required by 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b). As stated in 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b): A brief abstract of the technical disclosure in the specification must commence on a separate sheet, preferably following the claims, under the heading “Abstract of the Disclosure.” The purpose of the abstract is to enable the Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and gist of the technical disclosure. The abstract shall not be used for interpreting the scope of the claims. Therefore, any statements made relating to the abstract are not intended to limit the claims in any manner and should not be interpreted as limiting the claims in any manner. | 02-04-2016 |
