Title: Henry Hulbert: Innovator in Snap Connection Systems
Introduction
Henry Hulbert is a notable inventor based in Cincinnati, OH (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of engineering, particularly with his innovative designs that enhance the functionality and reliability of connection systems.
Latest Patents
Hulbert holds a patent for a one-time only snap connection system that mounts two parts and a sensor mounting system using this snap connection system. This enforced one-time snap connection system effectively mounts a first component to a second component. The first component features a circumferentially extending groove formed into its exterior surface, while the second component includes an annular mounting adapter with an internal bore. An annular retainer is secured at the end of the second component, which contains an axially extending annular portion with a radially inwardly projecting annular locking rib. This rib is received into the circumferentially extending groove during the installation of the first component into the second component. The design ensures that the annular locking rib or locking tabs, along with the circumferentially extending groove, are critically damaged or destroyed if the first component is removed from the second component. This feature prevents re-assembly and re-locking of the components, ensuring a secure and reliable connection.
