A fluid connection device comprising a body formed of one single part and comprising a first tubular nozzle comprising a male part, and at least two elastically-deformable tabs provided to retain the male part in a female part, wherein the device further comprises a lock mounted on the body and mobile in translation from a first position wherein the tabs are released, allowing their elastic deformation, to a second position wherein the tabs are blocked, preventing their elastic deformation.

A valve assembly including a probe having a first fluid exit; a socket for receiving the probe and having a second fluid exit. The probe and socket are moveable along a coupling axis to open and close the valve assembly. The valve assembly includes a closing member arranged relative to one of the fluid exits and so as to move between an open position and a closed position, wherein in the open position, the closing member does not obstruct said fluid exit and in the closed position, the closing member seals said exit, and a securing means is arranged to secure and release the closing member relative to the probe or socket of the other exit. The movement of the securing means is controlled by a cam and follower arrangement.

A fuel vent connector includes a longitudinal axis and a flow path a long the longitudinal axis. The connector further includes a first portion pivotally supporting a plurality of fingers, each finger amongst the plurality of fingers having a latching head biased radially outwardly and configured to latch within a fuel vent opening. The connector further includes a second portion biased longitudinally away from the first portion with respect to the longitudinal axis. The flow path extends through the first and second portions, and longitudinal movement of the second portion towards the first portion moves the fingers radially inward.

An attachment mechanism for connecting vacuum cleaner accessories includes a plurality of teeth arranged axially along an outer surface of an outer attachment tube of a first vacuum cleaner accessory, and a locking tab positioned on an outer surface of an inner attachment tube of a second vacuum cleaner accessory. The locking tab includes a pivot extension extending radially outward from the outer surface of the second vacuum cleaner accessory, and a latch pivotably connected to the pivot extension. The latch includes a finger engagement portion and a latching portion located on opposite sides of the pivot extension. The latching portion includes a latch tooth that extends from a bottom surface of the latching portion. The latch tooth is positioned to engage the teeth upon insertion of the inner attachment tube into the outer attachment tube to secure the first vacuum cleaner accessory to the second vacuum cleaner accessory.
