New subject; new hose connection invention.
I have invented a new way to attach any smooth metal tube to any thin or thick plastic or metal plate surface without using heat, or adhesives of any kind.
For example, take a peanut butter jar, drill a hole large enough for your 1/4" OD tube to fit through. I can add a few easily available hardware components to make it tight and leak proof with the tightening of a nut.
Much smaller than a plumbing barb.
This invention will work with any diameter metal or hard plastic tubes.
Intrigued?
Absolutely no leaks, and the tube is is removable.
Put on your thinking caps.
I believe that many might find this hose connection method useful for bubblers, cells, reservoirs, etc.
Remember, no adhesives and no heat.
Can you figure it out?
I am considering a patent.

P.S. If interested in partnering on this invention PM me.

You've got my curiosity up and I'm wondering about putting a tube say 3/8" o.d. into the side of a PVC 4" pipe. Will your fitting setup seal to a rounded surface like that without using any sealer?

Ok. My interest is piqued. Find a need and fill it and you will be successful.

Yes!

if your using something (component) that is already available its going to be hard to patent. The cost of a patent is a lot of time and money.
you need to ask yourself
is there a demand for it ?
do you have the resources to produce it ?
do you have the money to protect your patent ?
what is the selling cost in comparison to other methods ?
have you done engineering specks for it ( they will ask)
the list of problems go on and on
This is not to be a ney sayer but there is a lot involved ..here is what i designed and built totally all my self as a substitute for foam chips in the packaging ind. and was going to make a kizillion dollars with LOL
heres a pick 1 of those paper rolls would make what you see at the end cost $ 4.50 i ended up selling it for $ 10,000.00

hers a pick
Man o' man! That is beautiful!
Here's my best invention, and 100,000,000 smoke detectors will fit it.

Sounds to me like your invention is similar to a compression connection, Stu?

Russ,
Here's the plastic below:

this is
the hole

How can you use a compression fitting here?
There are NO threads needed to pass through the hole!

I say pics (not of the process)
Give us a pic of the finished product...or will that give the method away?

A picture is worth 1,000 words.
Once you see it, you will say, "Why didn't I think of that"?

P.S. If I cannot Patent it, I will share it.

Stu, Didn't you already mention the method in one of your videos?

Stu, Didn't you already mention the method in one of your videos?
This method was invented after my uploaded videos.
In the videos, Epoxy was used.
(PC-10 and JB Weld)
The invention does not require adhesives or heat.

If you could patent this, what would be your reward? If it is something that someone can easily assemble from readily available parts, how would you get a return on your investment? Are you sure you would want to sell something guaranteed leak proof? Lets say someones booster leaks a caustic electrolyte all over a BMW'S frame, who's responsible? Please tell us about the contraption you were riding in that video.
