A high-pressure gas tank connection structure including: a tank main body; a tank side connector; a connection side connector; and a valve body, the valve body being provided further toward a deep side along the axial direction of the tank main body than the tank side connector, the valve body being urged toward the connection side connector, and, in a case in which the valve body is pushed by a distal end of the convex portion in a state in which the convex portion is joined with the concave portion, the valve body being opened from a closed state, and communicating the interior of the tank main body with the exterior to the tank main body.

A coupling for connecting a compressed air source to an air motor, having a housing with a housing channel leading to a compressed air connection and a piston axially adjustable in the housing channel- and force-loaded by a spring element having a piston channel which, when the coupling is connected to the air motor, merges into a connecting channel present in a pin element of the air motor. The piston is adjustable in the direction of the compressed air connection by the pin element against the force applied by the spring element. The spring element runs between the compressed air connection and the compressed air connection side area of the piston. Radial openings extend from the compressed air connection side area of the piston channel. An exhaust air channel connected to the air motor extends in the wall of the housing.

A cooling distribution unit includes a main body, a removable unit and an adjustment mechanism. The main body includes a first guiding structure. The removable unit includes a casing, a pump and a second guiding structure. The first guiding structure and the second guiding structure are coupled with each other. The adjustment mechanism includes a guiding slot and a fulcrum part. The guiding slot has a front end and a rear end. A distance between a center of the front end of the guiding slot and the fulcrum part is greater than a distance between a center of the rear end of the guiding slot and the fulcrum part. While the removable unit is locked on the main body or detached from the main body, the first guiding structure or the second guiding structure is disposed within the guiding slot.

A probe seal for a female hydraulic coupling member has both internal and external pressure-energized seals. The outer wall or opposing ends of the seal have one or more pressure-energized seals for sealing between the body of the probe seal and the body of a coupling member in which the probe seal is installed. Annular, L-shaped, T-shaped or angled grooves in the inner wall of the seal form cavities and sealing projections that can be urged in an inward, radial direction by fluid pressure within an associated cavity to increase the sealing effectiveness between the body of the seal and the probe of a male hydraulic coupling member inserted in the receiving chamber of the female coupling member.

Example implementations relate to a magnetic fluid connector. For example, a magnetic fluid connector can include a magnet, an internal fluid path defined by a first portion and a second portion when the first portion and the second portion are coupled together, and a movable member that is movable to seal the internal fluid path, where the magnet provides at least a portion of a force sufficient to seal the internal fluid path.

A normally closed port valve seals a hydraulic hose connection port of a hydraulic bicycle component. Connection of an end of a hydraulic hose assembly to the port opens the valve, placing the assembly's hydraulic fluid chamber in fluid communication with the interior of the hose assembly. A hydraulic cylinder of the assembly is in fluid communication with the chamber. A spring may be used to bias the valve to a closed condition.

A manifold for a medical waste collection apparatus includes a fluid path connection portion and a storage connection portion. The storage connection portion includes a mounting connector in communication with the fluid path connection portion and coupled with the mounting base of the waste collection apparatus, and a docking valve arranged inside a connector cavity defined by inner walls of the connector. The docking valve is in an open state when the mounting connector is coupled with the mounting base, and a passage is formed between the storage connection portion and a waste collection container in the waste collection apparatus. The docking valve is in a closed state to close the connector cavity when the mounting connector is decoupled. The connection port between the manifold and the apparatus does not require manual opening or closing, thereby preventing waste from contaminating the environment, equipment and personnel, and enhancing convenience of use.
