FLUID INTAKE AND EXHAUST FITTINGS FOR A COMPRESSOR OR PUMP

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2008030839

Kind Code:

B1

Abstract:

We provide a compressor or vacuum pump fluid intake manifold having a fluid intake and a pair of ports provided by male and female fittings that are slidably engaged to one another. The male fitting has a portion which forms a hollow plug which fits within a respective fluid intake of the compressor housing. The plug portion, or plug, is integrally molded with a longitudinal section of the male fitting member. In similar fashion, the female fitting includes a plug portion which interfaces with a fluid intake in the compressor housing. The plug portion is integrally molded with a longitudinal portion of the female fitting. In one embodiment, each of the plugs includes three extending flanges forming an integral portion of the plug. Two of the three flanges are furtherest away from the plug. These two flanges provide a contact pressure seal with portions of the compressor housing that define the fluid intakes which receive the plugs. The other plug serves to prevent the plugs from slipping out of the fluid intakes during normal use of the fluid intake manifold. Further, instead, each of the plugs can have a raised insert surface defining a groove with an O-ring and a flange integral with and extending from a surface of the plug. The O-ring provides a contact pressure seal with portions of the housing defining the compressor intake. The radially extending flange serves to inhibit the removal of the plug from the compressor intakes during normal use of the fluid manifold.
