An coaxial keg connector comprising a main body (1) made of plastic and having a first inlet port (3) and a second inlet port (3) receiving a stem (2). A coaxial outlet (10) comprises an outer outlet port (11) in communication with the first inlet port (3) and an inner outlet port (12) in communication with the second inlet port. The stem (2) comprises a tubular body with a main axis (31) with an inlet and a connector for attachment to the keg at one end. The second end of the stem opposite to the first end has an outlet in fluid communication with the inner outlet port (12) and comprises a ball joint (61) rotatably mounted in and sealed with respect to the main body (1) so as to be rotatable (12) about the main axis (31) of the tubular body and rotatable (67, 68) to a limited extent about axes perpendicular to the main axis.

A holding element for a terminal connector, having at least one socket part and at least one plug part, wherein the plug part can be inserted or is inserted in a socket portion of the socket part. The holding element can be plugged or is plugged onto the plug part for detachably holding the plug part in the socket part. The holding element has a holding element body, holding arms having latching lugs that are directed inwards with respect to the holding element, holding arms having latching lugs that are directed outwards with respect to the holding element, and axially on both sides, has an uninterrupted, continuous edge on the end side. The holding arms each have a free end that is spring-elastically movable in the radial direction, and an end opposite thereof that is fixed to the holding element body.

A vacuum probe comprises a sharpened body that is displaceable downward and toward a vacuum bag during vacuum hose quick connection. The sharpened body and a valve element inside the vacuum probe move in tandem until the sharpened body projects outside the vacuum probe. A vacuum pressure applied via the vacuum hose pulls the vacuum bag upwards and towards the projecting sharpened body, which then punctures the vacuum bag, thereby enabling air under the vacuum bag to be evacuated via the vacuum probe as vacuum pressure continues to be applied.

The present invention provides a quick connector made of plastics material for establishing a snapping connection between a tubular male part (50) and a female part (40; 40A) of a fluid connection system. The connector has retaining means (10) adapted to be set within the mouth portion (41; 41A) of the female part (40; 40A) and having first and second flexing members (11, 12) for snapping engagement with the male part (50) and the female part (40; 40A), respectively. Each pair of circumferentially adjacent first and second flexing members (11, 12) is cross-connected by a transversal web portion (13) having a main longitudinal axis (L) which extends directly from the first flexing member (11) to the second flexing member (12).

A locking quick connect assembly is provided for removably coupling a first tube and a second tube. A quick connect housing presents a central bore for receiving the second tube. A redundant latch component positionable between an unlocked position and a locked position may be provided to slidingly engage the quick connect housing. A twist lock retainer surrounds the quick connect housing and the redundant latch component. The redundant latch component includes an axially extending peg and the twist lock retainer includes a locking channel for receiving the peg. The twist lock retainer also includes a twist lock arm that locks against a bead of the second tube to resist separation. The twist lock arm extends perpendicularly to and radially inwardly of the locking channel to interleavingly engage the peg thus preventing unwanted decoupling of the assembly.

A coupler includes a body, a stem, an actuator and a pressure gauge. The body defines an input port, an output port, a venting port and a main passageway. The stem is slidably coupled with the body and is slidable between a retracted position, a venting position, and an extended position. The venting position is between the retracted position and the extended position. The stem is biased into the retracted position. The actuator is operably coupled with the stem and is movable between a released position and an actuated position. The pressure gauge is coupled with the body and is in fluid communication with one of the input port and the output port. The pressure gauge is configured to detect and display a fluid pressure at said one of the input port and the output port

The disclosure relates to a connector for a fluid line which includes a tubular housing. A receiver for a connecting piece is present in the tubular housing. The receiver is surrounded by an integral, continuous rotary ring. The rotary ring is pretensioned for locking the connector into a locked position and is rotatable for unlocking the connector into a released position. At least one guide channel is configured in an outer envelope surface of the tubular housing. This guide channel has an inlet on a first front face of the tubular housing. The rotary ring is received at least partially in the guide channel.

A reversibly detachable fluid line coupling (1), at least having a coupling sleeve (2), a locking element (3) and a coupling plug (4) with a locking collar (41). The reversibly detachable fluid line coupling has a locking state of which can easily be checked automatically. This coupling has actuating/signaling surfaces (312) which are only visible when the coupling is in the unlocked state.

This document describes fluid handling couplings. For example, this document describes fluid handling couplings that include manually openable valves and that are configured for aseptic fluid handling usage. In some embodiments, the valves are manually openable by rotation of a collar of the fluid handling couplings.

A tubular quick coupling comprises a first tubular element with a hollow connector body defining an axial orifice that is to receive a second tubular element provided with a circular rib, a latch blocked axially in the first tubular element and radially actuatable to release the second tubular element from the first tubular element, and a security system that prevents the second tubular element being withdrawn. The security system is a flexible and breakable ring that has a perimeter portion inside the first tubular element between the inlet of the orifice of the body and the latch in order to block the second tubular element coaxially in the first tubular element in spite of actuating the latch, and the ring has at least one perimeter portion in the form of a breakable loop that projects outside the body.
