Tube Interconnection System

摘要

A tube interconnection system is disclosed that includes multiple interconnection components having base portions and one or more band connection systems. The interconnection components can be configured to interact to be in a coupled state. To this end, a ratcheting mechanism can be configured to releasably hold the first interconnection component and the second interconnection component in various rotated positions relative to one another in the coupled state.

主权项

1. A tube interconnection system, comprising:
a first two-sided rotatable tube connector comprising a first interconnection component comprising a first base portion having a shaft, wherein the shaft comprises at least one locking shoulder, the first interconnection component further comprising a connection system that facilitates a releasable connection with a foam tube, and a first portion of a ratcheting mechanism configured to releasably hold the first interconnection component and a second interconnection component in a plurality of rotated positions relative to one another in a coupled state; and a second two-sided rotatable tube connector comprising the second interconnection component comprising a second base portion having a hole formed at least partially therethrough, wherein the second base portion includes a surface that is configured to interact with the at least one locking shoulder when the first interconnection component and the second interconnection component are in the coupled state, and a second portion of the ratcheting mechanism configured to releasably hold the first interconnection component and the second interconnection component in the plurality of rotated positions relative to one another in the coupled state.
