Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
A coupler comprising a first cupped member having a tubular connector extending through the bottom thereof and axially thereof; a second cupped member having a tubular connector extending through the bottom thereof and axially thereof; said cupped members, when axially aligned and with their open ends opposed, being telescopable with respect to each other; said connectors of said cupped members having free ends, said free ends of said connectors being aligned in their respective cupped members and adapted to connect together in fluid flow relation within the space defined by said cupped members as the cupped members are telescoped together, one of the cupped members being adapted to receive the connector of the other cupped member in spaced relation to its interior wall as the cupped members are telescoped together to connect said connectors as afore-said; a wall of one of said cup members being flared outwardly adjacent its lip to guide said cup members into alignment as they are telescoped together.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
162 words
A coupler comprising a first cupped member having a tubular connector extending through the bottom thereof and axially thereof; a second cupped member having a tubular connector extending through the bottom thereof and axially thereof; said cupped members, when axially aligned and with their open ends opposed, being telescopable with respect to each other; said connectors of said cupped members having free ends, said free ends of said connectors being aligned in their respective cupped members and adapted to connect together in fluid flow relation within the space defined by said cupped members as the cupped members are telescoped together, one of the cupped members being adapted to receive the connector of the other cupped member in spaced relation to its interior wall as the cupped members are telescoped together to connect said connectors as afore-said; a wall of one of said cup members being flared outwardly adjacent its lip to guide said cup members into alignment as they are telescoped together.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
A coupler as claimed in Claim 1 wherein the side of said cup member that is flared outwardly as afore-said embraces the tubular connector of the other cup to guide said members into alignment as they are telescoped together as aforesaid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
A coupler as claimed in Claim 2 wherein the free end of said tubular connector that is embraced by said cup member that is flared outwardly extends outwardly of the open end of said cup member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
A coupler as claimed in Claim 1 or Claim 2 wherein said cupped members are threadedly engageable with each other as they are telescoped together.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
