Disclosed herein are embodiments of a connector system for releasably connecting together tubes, for example medical tubing, and methods of making and using such a connector system, whereby the connector system includes a female coupler having a first passageway, a male coupler having a second passageway, a catch movably coupled to the female coupler, and a catch-receiving element coupled to the male coupler. The connector system further includes a release element movably coupled to the female coupler, whereby travel of the release element along or over a female coupler outer surface of the female coupler disengages the catch from the catch-receiving element to achieve a disconnected condition of the connector system. Further disclosed herein are embodiments of a connector system for releasably connecting together tubes, whereby the connector system includes at least one valve biased by a valve-biasing member disposed external to or outside of the fluid flow path.

Some fluid coupling devices described herein are configured for use in fluid systems for purposes of providing a single-use, disconnection functionality that can substantially limit fluid spillage when being disconnected. In some embodiments, the coupling portions cannot be functionally reconnected to each other after being disconnected from each other.

Some fluid coupling devices described herein are configured for use in fluid systems for purposes of providing a sterile connection for drug delivery. In some embodiments, the fluid coupling devices can be implemented as multi-use, sterile fluid coupling devices that are configured to reduce the likelihood of fluid spillage when being disconnected.

The hydraulic pressure relief depressurization valve assembly for quick coupling which is object of the present invention comprises a depressurization valve assembly (100) and (200) that can be assembled in any quick coupling that has a directional body (10) and (60), generally fixed to a manifold with access to the tank (20), an intermediate sleeve (30) and (80) and a port (40) for connection to the hydraulic system, inside which is a relief valve (50) and (90), that moves axially, provided with directional holes that make it possible to relieve the pressure during the connection and disconnection action (during the manual push and pull movement), so as to minimize the pressure forces and facilitate the installation and replacement or changing of hoses on the hydraulic line.

A coupler, adapted for being assembled and connected with a water sprayer, includes a sleeve and a coupling member adapted for being assembled and connected with the water sprayer. The coupling member and the sleeve are sleeved with each other and respectively have a first corresponding end and a second corresponding end which correspond to each other. The first corresponding end and the second corresponding end are adapted to be engaged with each other, so that the sleeve and the coupling member are capable of being mutually locked and into a non-rotatable state through the engagement and rotation meshing operation. The sleeve can be disengaged with the coupling member through axially moving the sleeve so that the sleeve is allowed to be axially rotatable.

A coupling bushing includes a bushing body and a retainer for locking a coupling plug into the bushing body. The bushing body has a connecting section and a coupling section, wherein the connecting section and the coupling section are fluidically connected with each other via an inner channel. A bushing valve is arranged in the inner channel (8), wherein the bushing valve (10a) comprises a valve holder, an axially movable valve body and a valve seat. The retainer has at least one latching element, wherein the at least one latching element has a resiliently elastic design. The at least one latching element is designed to engage with a coupling plug.
