Patent ID: 7275949

Claim:
A highly moisture resistant flexible coupler system having two coupling elements therein comprising; a. a first male coupling element formed in a longitudinal end-to-end formation and having an energy transmitting line element contained and encapsulated therein, comprising in order a first end comprising said line for transmitting said energy, an encapsulated gripping element and a second end formed longitudinally into a circular body, said circular body comprising an outer layer and an encapsulating inner layer, at least one female receiving element being encapsulated longitudinally in said circular body, said female receiving element having two ends, one of said ends being connected to said energy transmitting line and the other of said ends being connected to a face ended on said circular body, wherein a rigid lip is formed circumferentially on said face, and wherein the outer layer of said circular body has at least two grooves formed circumferentially thereon; b. a second female coupling element formed in a longitudinal end-to-end formation and having an energy transmitting line element contained and encapsulated therein, comprising in order a first end and a second end, said first end having a hollow, flexible, circular sleeve, circumferentially containing at least one longitudinal male connecting element, said flexible, circular sleeve formed in a manner so as to receive said circular body from said male coupling element, and having at least two rings formed circumferentially inside around said male connecting element, said male connecting element longitudinally forming a face adjacent to a second energy transmission line encapsulated in a second gripping element and forming said second end; so that when said circular body from said male coupling element is inserted in said circular sleeve from said female coupling element, said male connecting element in said female coupling element fits within said female connecting element in said male connecting element, said rings of said female connecting element fits within said grooves in said male connecting element and said face of said female connecting element firmly contacts and seals said rigid lip of said face of said male connecting element and energy transmission is completed from said male to said female connecting element.
