Parallel quick release coupling having leakproof arrangements
11788661 · 2023-10-17 ·

A quick release coupling includes male and female connector assemblies releasably secured together. The male connector assembly includes two parallel male connectors and the female connector assembly includes two parallel female connectors. A sleeve assembly is releasably connected to one ends of the female connectors. A plunger assembly is provided in each of the sleeve assembly and female connector. A sleeving assembly is provided on each of the female connector and the sleeve assembly. The parallel female connectors can be disconnected from the parallel male connectors or connected together at the same time. After the female connectors have disengaged from the male connectors, leakproof arrangements in the female connector assembly act to prevent water in the female connector assembly from leaking.

A latch coupling includes male and female connector assemblies releasably secured together. The male connector assembly includes two parallel male connectors and first latches. The female connector assembly includes two parallel female connectors and second latches. A sleeve is releasably connected to an end of the female connector. Force is exerted on the second latches to hook the first latches so as to connect the female and male connector assemblies together. The parallel female connectors can be disconnected from the parallel male connectors or connected together at the same time. After the female connectors have disengaged from the male connectors, leakproof arrangements in the female connector assembly act to prevent water in the female connector assembly from leaking.

Valve for regulating the flow of a liquid
11802627 · 2023-10-31 · ·

A new valve for regulating the flow of liquid has two housings that are removably attached to one another. When the housings are separated, the liquid can no longer pass through the valve. A system of magnetic elements is used to cycle the flow of liquid (urine) through the valve. The valve is typically connected to an indwelling bladder catheter and the valve allows the patient to be at least temporarily disconnected from a collection bag.

NEEDLELESS CONNECTOR WITH VALVE PIVOT SUPPORT

A needleless connector includes a housing having a central longitudinal axis, a body portion, and a base portion. The body portion includes an inner surface forming an internal cavity, and a first port forming a first fluid passage to the housing cavity. The base portion includes a top end section and a bottom end section. The top end section has a protrusion, and the bottom end portion has a second port forming a second fluid passage to the housing cavity. The needleless connector further includes a valve having a wall with an inner surface forming a valve cavity. The valve is coupled with the housing such that the protrusion is positioned in the valve cavity, and a proximal end of the protrusion is spaced apart from a proximal end of the valve cavity.
