Abstract

An improved screw-on assembly for coupling line connectors with spouts has been invented. The invention can be used with bag-in-box packaging or with a variety of other applications requiring fluid coupling. In one embodiment, threading is accomplished by mating internal threads on a line connector with flexible tabs located on the spout. Deformation of the tabs during threading provides a restorative force that stabilizes the assembly during threading. Cooperation of the deformable tabs with structures near the end of the thread provides for self-locking of the assembly. In addition, the tabs are situated on a flange, providing compatibility of the present invention with prior art line connectors.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] No. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for quick connection and disconnection of a connector to a nozzle, and more particularly to an apparatus and method comprising a flexible protrusion for threaded connection, wherein the protrusion is formed during the threading process It maintains axial stability and has a self-locking effect to maintain the coupling connection between the connector and the nozzle. Background of the invention [0004] Plumbing fittings are typically used in equipment containing fluids to connect or disconnect connecting tubing with minimal fluid loss, usually at locations where fluids are introduced or discharged, or where maintenance or other operations are facilitated. As used herein, the term fluid includes liquids, solid particles and pressurized gases or vacuums, or combinations of these fluids. Achieving connection and disconnection of lines i...
