ABSTRACT:
The hose end conduit swivel connector consists of a first conduit, adapted to be connected for example to a filler hose, and terminating in a bell-like housing within which resides a nipple with ball bearing rotation permitted between the two. Thus a pair of aligned conduits are provided with relative 360 degree rotation between the nipple and the housing. Leakage of fluid being transmitted through the connector is prevented by two sealing faces, one being located on a annular stationary seal member retained in the housing, which cooperates with a corresponding sealing face on an opposed rotating metallic seal. The sealing faces are carefully lapped so that leakage is substantially prevented from the interior of the conduits. A thrust plate and wave spring are interposed between the swivel connector and the nipple to cushion shock to the connector should the connector be accidently dropped or otherwise misused to prevent damage to the seals and the other components comprising the connector.
