    摘要: A connector includes an outer housing defining a lumen, a first male coupler mateable with a needle-free valve and positioned at a first end of the outer housing, a second male coupler positioned at a second end of the outer housing, a valve system to control fluid flow through the lumen, and an actuator movable within the outer housing between a first position and a second position. A pinch clamp of the connector operates to selectively deflect locking fingers of the actuator from a locked position to a movement position to selectively enable or prevent movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position. The actuator, based on its positioning in the first or second position, causes the valve system to be in a closed state or an open state and blocks or allows the first coupler to couple with the needle-free valve.

    摘要: An air chuck for facilitating the connection of a pneumatic hose with a threaded stem of a tire valve includes a housing with an air passage. The housing includes an air inlet port connectable to the pneumatic hose, and an air outlet passage to receive the threaded stem of the tire valve. A clamping member is mounted externally about the outlet passage and includes a hollow tubular member, a front end portion of which terminates in a plurality of separate, radially deflectable fingers, a free end portion of each finger extending towards the discharge end of the outlet passage. The free end portions of each finger define an aperture for receiving the threaded stem of the tire valve. The size of the aperture is variable by the movement of a sleeve, slidable over the body of the housing and the clamping member.

    摘要: A quick coupling (2) includes a male element and a female element, each with a male or female tubular body, a distal mouth and a movable shutter or a plunger and a spool. A first seal is partially housed in the male tubular body and rests radially on a cylindrical surface of the movable shutter in an advanced position. A second seal rests radially on a cylindrical wall of the plunger. The first seal includes a front surface which is further advanced than a first edge plane along a longitudinal axis of the male tubular body. The second seal includes a front surface which is further advanced than a second edge plane along a longitudinal axis of the female tubular body. The first and second front surfaces contact each other when the male and female elements are fitted together.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for a low-emission nozzle and receptacle coupling for cryogenic fluid. An example nozzle includes a body defining a chamber through which cryogenic fluid is to flow. The body includes an outer shell that includes an outer shell surface. The nozzle includes a locking assembly configured to securely couple the nozzle to a receptacle. The locking assembly includes an inner sleeve fixedly coupled to the outer shell surface and an outer sleeve extending over and rotatably coupled to the inner sleeve. One or more locking teeth are fixedly coupled to the outer sleeve and configured to be slidably received by respective one or more coupling slots of the receptacle. The one or more locking teeth are configured to rotatably slide within the respective one or more coupling slots to couple the nozzle to the receptacle as the outer sleeve rotates relative to the inner sleeve.

    摘要: An aseptic coupling assembly, includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a first housing, a first valve member, and a first spring that biases the first valve member towards the second end of the first housing to a first closed position. The second connector includes a second housing, a second valve member, and a second spring that biases the second valve member towards the second end of the second housing to a second closed position. The first valve member is slidable away from the first closed position within the first housing to compress the first spring and the second valve member is slidable away from the second closed position within the second housing to compress the second spring. The coupling assembly further includes a seal that prevents fluid from contacting the first spring and the second spring.
