Plastic Powder Filled Epoxy Paint For Tubing

View page
US Patent:
6835428, Dec 28, 2004
Filed:
Jan 28, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/493530
Inventors:
Duane J. Pontbriand - Metamora MI
Stephen John MacDonald - Bruce Mines, CA
Assignee:
Cooper Technology Services, LLC - Findlay OH
International Classification:
F16L 914
US Classification:
428 359, 428457, 428458, 428626, 428658, 428659, 4289088, 428911
Abstract:
An improved method of applying an epoxy paint coating to a tube includes the step of mixing plastic particles into the epoxy paint prior to application on the tube. The plastic particles improve the paints abrasion and corrosion resistance and also improves the paints ability to withstand downstream forming operations.

Asymmetrical Convolute Tube

View page
US Patent:
61231134, Sep 26, 2000
Filed:
May 1, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/848811
Inventors:
Duane J. Pontbriand - Metamora MI
David Bensko - Oscoda MI
Gary O. Klinger - Warren MI
Assignee:
ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
F16L 1111
US Classification:
138121
Abstract:
A tube having a cylindrical main body and a thin wall defined by an inner surface and outer surface. The tube includes a first segment having a generally constant cylindrical cross-section and another segment having a variable cross-section containing convolutions to allow for flexing of the tube during installation. The convolutions extend less than the entire circumference of the tube or have tapered side walls which substantially reduce the size of the convolutions as the convolutions extend from one position along the circumference to a second position.

Quick Connector

US Patent:
56580207, Aug 19, 1997
Filed:
Jun 7, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/474032
Inventors:
Anthony K. Carman - Waterford MI
Duane J. Pontbriand - Metamora MI
Gary Klinger - Warren MI
Assignee:
ITT Corporation - New York NY
International Classification:
F16L 3500
US Classification:
285 81
Abstract:
A quick connector for fast connection of fluid carrying assemblies such as a mating tube and a fluid unit includes a connector body that houses the connector components and accepts a redundant clip, which is adapted to engage an upset bead of the male tube. The redundant clip is generally L-shaped and includes a retaining head that is inserted into the connector body and is adapted to engage the upset bead. A body portion, which extends along the side of the connector body and in the preferred embodiment is contoured to mate with the connector body, extends between the retaining head and a base member. The base includes a camming edge for facilitating the insertion of the retainer head into the connector body.

Multi-Layer Tubing Having At Least One Intermediate Layer Formed From A Polyamide/Polyketone Alloy

View page
US Patent:
61801976, Jan 30, 2001
Filed:
Feb 13, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/023739
Inventors:
Tao Nie - Macomb MI
Duane Pontbriand - Metamora MI
David Bensko - Oscoda MI
Assignee:
ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
B32B 2728
B32B 2732
B32B 2734
F16L 1104
US Classification:
428 3691
Abstract:
A multi-layer tube suitable for use in a motor vehicle system to transport fluids containing hydrocarbons such as would be found in a fuel line, a vapor return line or a vapor recovery tube having a first layer radially disposed innermost made up of an extrudable melt-processible thermoplastic material selected from the group consisting of aromatic polyketones, aliphatic polyketones and mixtures thereof, and second layer made up of an extrudable, melt-processible thermoplastic material capable of sufficiently permanent laminar adhesion with the first layer so as to prevent delamination between the first and second layers during a desired lifetime of the tube, and a third layer overlying the first layer made up of a melt-processible thermoplastic material such as polyamides, high density polyethylenes and mixtures thereof. The tubing of the present invention may, optionally, include additional layers interposed between the respective layers or may include additional layers which overlie the exterior surface of the second layer.

Multi-Layer Tubing Having At Least One Intermediate Layer Formed From A Polyamide Alloy

View page
US Patent:
62572814, Jul 10, 2001
Filed:
Feb 13, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/023593
Inventors:
Tao Nie - Macomb MI
Duane Pontbriand - Metamora MI
David Bensko - Oscoda MI
Assignee:
ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
F16L 1104
US Classification:
138137
Abstract:
A multi-layer tube for use in a motor vehicle system to transport fluids containing hydrocarbons such as would be found in a fuel line, a vapor return line or a vapor recovery tube having a first layer radially disposed innermost made up of an extrudable melt-processible thermoplastic material capable of withstanding prolonged exposure to automotive fuel and various fuel additives, and second layer made up of an extrudable, melt-processible non-polyester, non-alcoholic thermoplastic material capable of sufficiently permanent laminar connection with the first layer so as to prevent delamination between the first and second layers during a desired lifetime of the tube. The thermoplastic material of the second layer is made up of at least one constituent which is chemically dissimilar from the thermoplastic material employed in the first layer such as a melt-processible compound having at least two isocyanate groups in combination with a compound which is chemically similar to the thermoplastic material of the first layer such as a thermoplastic elastomer, or a polyamide. The tubing of the present invention may, optionally, include additional layers interposed between the respective layers or may include additional layers which overlie the exterior surface of the second layer.

Quick Connector

US Patent:
53602374, Nov 1, 1994
Filed:
Mar 23, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/035823
Inventors:
Anthony K. Carman - Waterford MI
Duane J. Pontbriand - Metamora MI

High Pressure Quick Connector

View page
US Patent:
53740890, Dec 20, 1994
Filed:
Sep 29, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/954140
Inventors:
Robert Davie - Lapeer MI
David Noone - Southfield MI
Gary Klinger - Allen Park MI
Craig Cheney - Lapeer MI
George Szabo - Ortonville MI
Duane Pontbriand - Metamora MI
Anthony Carman - Waterford MI
James D. McDaniel - Ortonville MI
Assignee:
ITT Industries Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
F16L 3902
F16L 2100
US Classification:
285317
Abstract:
The present invention is a high pressure quick connector especially for use in connecting brake lines of a vehicle. The connector includes a housing which selectively receives a tube retainer cap. Retaining means such as a garter spring or snap ring allow for a low force insertion of the cap into the housing with an very high pull-off force. The cap is used to trap a tube with a bead upset, and the tube may be removed after the cap is unlocked. A second way of releasing the tube includes the use of a tube retainer plug selectively received in the cap, the upset trapped between the plug and cap. The plug can be removed while the cap is still locked in the housing, releasing the tube. A release tool may be used to unlock the cap from the housing. An insertion indicator ring is used to establish the locking of the cap within the housing.

Quick Connect Connector

US Patent:
48757152, Oct 24, 1989
Filed:
Apr 22, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/185012
Inventors:
Robert D. Dennany - Lapeer MI
Duane J. Pontbriand - Rochester MI
Assignee:
ITT Corporation - New York NY
International Classification:
F16L 5500
US Classification:
285 87
Abstract:
A quick connect connector is disclosed. The connector includes a connector housing having a first and a second ends. A first chamber is provided in the housing between the first and the second ends for receiving a sealing member therein. A retaining collar is slidably mounted on the housing between the first and second ends of the housing and includes at least one radially deflectable locking portion thereon. The radially deflectable retaining portion is adapted to engagingly contact a flange portion of a tubing member inserted in the housing to retain the tubing member in a locked position relative to and sealingly engaging the sealing member between the retaining portion and the first end of the housing. The locking portion is received within a groove of the housing to lock the collar to the housing and secure the connection. The tubing connector is resiliently urged out from the housing and against the engaged retaining portion of the housing.
