A water supply device (10) and a tube connector structure (2) thereof, which are used for an electronic device (100) having a water inlet (101) and a water outlet (102), are disclosed. The tube connector structure (2) includes a connecting plate (21) and two tube connector plugs (22) passing through and fixed to the connecting plate (21). One of the tube connector plugs (22) is connected with the water inlet (101), and the other one of the tube connector plugs (22) is connected with the water outlet (102). Therefore, advantages of rapid connection and disconnection between the water supply device (10) and the tube connector structure (2) and saving time and labor in assembling may be accomplished.

A dispensing fitment assembly includes a fitment assembly and a dispensing probe. The fitment assembly includes a fitment housing and a plug. The fitment housing is configured to operatively couple to a container opening of a fluid container. The plug is positioned within an interior portion of the fitment housing. The plug is slidingly movable between an open and closed position. Engagement between the dispensing probe and the interior surface of the plug is configured to move the plug from the closed position to the open position. Disengagement between the dispensing probe and the interior surface of the plug is configured to move the plug from the open to closed position.

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 invention relates to a nozzle, which has a main valve arranged in a channel, a coupling device (30) for producing a connection between the nozzle and the connecting piece (15), and an actuating apparatus (17) for actuating the coupling device and the main valve. The actuating apparatus comprises a manual lever (11), which is movable between a closed position and an open position. The actuating apparatus is designed to convert a movement of the manual lever in a region between the closed position and the open position to a temporally offset actuation of the coupling device and of the main valve. A coupling joint (20) connected to the manual lever is connected via operative connections to the coupling device having the main valve. The operative connections for the coupling joint form a guide such that the coupling joint is caused to rotate about a first pivot axis (41) and/or to move in a first direction when the manual lever is activated in a first manual lever region, and that the coupling joint having the manual lever in a second manual lever region is caused to rotate about a second pivot axis (42) and/or to move in a second direction.

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for a coupling nozzle for cryogenic fluid. An example nozzle comprises a flow body defining a conduit, an inlet, and an outlet. A pneumatic cylinder is configured to slide between an extended position and a contracted position. The pneumatic cylinder is coupled to and configured to actuate the flow body. A locking mechanism is configured to secure the coupling nozzle to a receptacle. A flow control assembly comprises a valve seat fixed to the flow body adjacent the inlet and a plug configured to slide. When the locking mechanism is locked and the pneumatic cylinder actuates to the extended position, the valve seat is to disengage from the plug to open the flow control assembly. When the locking mechanism is locked and the pneumatic cylinder actuates to the contracted position, the valve seat is to engage the plug to close the flow control assembly.

A connector assembly has a main body, a valve, a spring, a quick connecting device, and a seal. The valve is moveably mounted in the main body and has an adaptor, a valve body, and a sealing assembly. The valve body is spaced from the adaptor and has a closed end away from the adaptor, an open end, and multiple through holes radially defined in the valve body. The seal is clamped between the valve body and the adaptor to connect the valve body with the adaptor and has a tubular sleeve and a clamped flange. The tubular sleeve has an end. The clamped flange is radially formed around and protrudes from the end of the sleeve and clamped between the open end of the valve body and the adaptor.

Disclosed is a disposable filter capsule apparatus that incorporates integral quick connect components and check valves to facilitate assembly to, and dis-assembly from, larger assemblies and apparatus. The quick connect elements and valves are configured to eliminate the need for auxiliary sealing elements, e.g., o-rings and valve springs so as to prevent unwanted reactions with fluids and/or gases flowing through the capsules, and to further prevent the disposal of expensive re-usable elements in the disposable capsules.
