ABSTRACT:
An end fitting for an inflatable tube motor comprising plates each having a convex portion intermediate flat end portions, a resilient bushing having an elongated body with an enlarged central portion intermediate two substantially flat portions and a tubular fluid coupling having an elongated stem inserted in a throughbore in the enlarged portion of the bushing. The elongated body of the bushing is inserted into the end of an inflatable tube while one end of the tube abuts against a raised rib on one end of the bushing. A connector portion of the fluid coupling extends outwardly from the ribbed end of the bushing with the body portion of the bushing inserted in the end of the tube. The plates are placed over opposite sides of the tube end and pressed together to form a sealing engagement between the bushing and the tube end as well as the bushing and the fluid coupling, thereby permitting fluid communication with the interior of the tube only through the fluid coupling.
