A fluid coupling includes a body, a poppet valve assembly, a handle shaft assembly, and a retention member. The body has a fluid conduit, a through-hole extending through a sidewall, and one or more openings that extend between an external surface of the body and an interior of the through hole. The poppet valve assembly is disposed within the fluid conduit and is selectively movable between an open position and a closed position. The handle shaft assembly extends through the through-hole and into the fluid conduit and is interconnected with the poppet valve assembly such that the handle shaft assembly can be actuated to move the poppet valve assembly between the open position and the closed position. The retention member is insertable through the one or more openings and into the through-hole to interact with the handle shaft assembly to selectively hold the handle shaft assembly in the body.

Coupler with quick release handle and valve assemblies

A fluid system coupler includes a coupler body having an open end for receiving an adaptor therein. A seal assembly is movably disposed within the coupler body for selective sealing engagement with an adaptor. Lever cams pivot into or out of slots in the coupler body between locked and unlocked positions to fasten or unfasten the adaptor to the coupler. A handle is movably connected to the coupler body. Movement of the handle moves the seal assembly within the coupler body. Movement of the handle also results in movement of the lever cams between the locked and unlocked positions. A poppet assembly is mounted to the seal assembly. The poppet assembly can selectively open or close a fluid passageway through the coupler.

Vapor coupler

A fluid system coupling includes an adaptor, a coupler, and an actuation mechanism. The adaptor has an adaptor poppet that is movable between an open position and a closed position. The adaptor poppet has a poppet face that is substantially planar and devoid of any recesses. The coupler has a coupler poppet that is movable between an open position and a closed position. The coupler poppet has a poppet face that is substantially planar and avoid of any recesses. The actuation mechanism selectively moves the poppets from the closed positions to the open positions.

Fluid system coupling with internal valves

A fluid system swivel joint includes a body and a tail rotatably connected together and which partially define a fluid passageway. The tail has an integrally formed flange for connecting to other fluid conduits. A counterbalancing mechanism is disposed within the fluid passageway. The counterbalancing mechanism has a selectively adjustable level of tension that adjusts the amount of force required to rotate the tail relative to the body. At least a portion of the counterbalancing mechanism can be selectively inserted into or removed from the fluid passageway through an opening in the body. The opening in the body can be closed off with an end plate. A swivel assembly rotatably connects the body to a fluid conduit so that the body can rotate relative to the fluid conduit. The swivel assembly includes a collar fixedly and selectively connectable to the body, and a flange body rotatably connected to the collar.

Bicycle frame

Double-sprocket bicycle frame

Double-sprocket bicycle adapter

A two-piece bicycle frame pivotably attached together at a pivot point with a biasing mechanism adjacent to the point of attachment. The bias mechanism bears an angle of between 30&#xb0; to 60&#xb0; relative to true horizontal. Each frame section has a relative plane which planes in relation to one another bear an angle exceeding 180&#xb0; when no weight is on the bicycle.
