North Dakota Patent of the Month – April 2025
ND Energy Services Management, Inc. has introduced a groundbreaking solution for fluid transport systems with its newly patented Water Line Junction Device. This device, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 12270499, titled “Water line junction device,” aims to enhance the efficiency and safety of liquid transportation across various industries.
Enhancing Fluid Transport Efficiency
The Water Line Junction Device features a system comprising first and second hose segments, each with inner and outer hoses, connected via a specialized junction device. This junction includes a body with two chambers and selectively openable hatches. The design ensures that while the inner hoses are fluidly connected, the interiors of the outer hose chambers remain isolated from each other. This configuration allows for controlled and safe liquid transfer, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and leaks.
Real-World Impact Across Industries
This innovation holds significant promise for sectors such as agriculture, construction, and emergency services, where efficient and safe liquid transport is crucial. By providing a reliable method to connect and manage multiple hose segments, the device can streamline operations, reduce downtime, and enhance overall safety. Its adaptability to various hose configurations makes it a versatile tool for diverse applications.
With the Water Line Junction Device, ND Energy Services demonstrates its commitment to advancing practical solutions that address real-world challenges in fluid transport.
