Abstract:
An orbital coupling arrangement is disclosed. In one example, the orbital coupling arrangement includes a first connector part, an orbital member, and a seal member. The first connector part can define a central passageway and can include a first connection arrangement at a first end. The orbital member can define a spherical segment and an adjacent tubular segment that together define a central passageway extending between a first end proximate the spherical segment and a second end proximate the tubular segment. The seal member is in sealing contact with the orbital member spherical segment at a location between a geometric center of the spherical segment and the orbital member first end.

Claim (Index 1):
An orbital coupling arrangement comprising:\n a. a first connector part defining a central passageway and including a first connection arrangement at a first end and a second connection arrangement at a second end; b. an orbital member defining a spherical segment and an adjacent tubular segment that together define a central passageway extending between a first end proximate the spherical segment and a second end proximate the tubular segment; c. a seal member defining a longitudinal axis and forming a seal between the orbital member spherical segment and the first connector part; and d. a retaining member rotatably securing the orbital member to the first connector part, the retaining member being separable from the first connector part, the retaining member including:\n i. an annular load ring defining a first interior curved surface in contact with and complementary to a curvature of the spherical segment, the annular load ring defining an outer end surface extending at an oblique angle to a longitudinal axis of the annular load ring; and \n ii. an annular lock ring securing the load ring to the first connector part, the annular lock ring having a second interior surface in flush surface contact with the annular load ring end surface; \n e. wherein the annular load ring and the annular lock ring contact the orbital member on a first side of a first plane and the seal member contacts the orbital member on a second side of the first plane, wherein the first plane extends both orthogonally to the seal member longitudinal axis and through a geometric center of the orbital member spherical segment.
