A fluid system coupling includes an adaptor, a coupler, and an actuation mechanism. The adaptor has an adaptor poppet that is movable between an open position and a closed position. The adaptor poppet has a poppet face that is substantially planar and devoid of any recesses. The coupler has a coupler poppet that is movable between an open position and a closed position. The coupler poppet has a poppet face that is substantially planar and avoid of any recesses. The actuation mechanism selectively moves the poppets from the closed positions to the open positions.

The application relates to a connecting element, in particular for connecting vessels and for producing a fluidic connection between vessels or elements joined to the connecting element. The invention also relates to an elastic spring element as a valve element.

A circuit breaker for a facility for handling pressurized fluid includes a male element and a female element. The male element includes a male body defining a first inner pipe, having a member for closing off the front end of the first pipe from at least one first radial passage of a movable valve, and a locking notch arranged on the male body. The female element includes a female body defining a second inner pipe and provided with at least one radial passage, a movable valve and several locking members movable between a first radial position, for the axial locking of the male and female bodies in the coupled configuration, and a second radial position, where the locking members free the passage of the male body in the female body. In the coupled configuration, the radial passages are in communication, while sealing gaskets cooperate radially with male and female bodies.

This circuit breaker (10) for a facility for handling pressurized fluid includes a male element (100) and a female element (200) intended to fit in one another. The male element includes a male body (102) defining a first inner pipe (104) and provided with a member for closing off the front end of the first pipe, along the fitting axis, of at least one first radial passage (116), of a movable valve (118) and a locking notch arranged on the male body. The female element includes a female body (202) defining a second inner pipe (204A) and provided with at least one radial passage (256), a movable valve (218) and several locking members (242) movable transversely with respect to the fitting axis, between a first radial position, for the axial locking of the male and female bodies in the coupled configuration, and a second radial position, where the locking members free the passage of the male body (102) in the female body (202). In the coupled configuration, the radial passages (116, 256) are in communication, while sealing gaskets (266, 268) respectively cooperate radially with the male and female bodies (102, 202). A resilient return ring (246) is mounted on the female body (202) and surrounds the locking members (242). This ring resiliently returns the locking members toward their first radial position in the coupled configuration and is deformed radially, and resiliently, by the locking members during their movement, from their first radial position toward their second radial position.

A coupler for aseptically coupling and controlling fluid communication between at least two components. The coupler includes a first connector housing with an inner concave surface. A first connector extends from the top of the first connector housing and is adapted to connect to a first component. A first connector conduit extends through the first connector and into the first connector housing so as to define a fluid passageway to an inner opening on the inner surface of the first connector housing. A rotary valve is located within an inner cavity of the first connector housing and includes at least two rotary valve segments. The rotary valve segments are configured to rotate within the cavity. At least one of the rotary valve segments includes a fluid conduit extending through the at least one rotary valve segment.

A coupling for the connection of pipelines and includes a coupling element and a complementary coupling element that can fit into one another wherein the coupling element includes a first body, a locking ring mounted around the first body, the first body being secured in translation with the locking ring, and wherein the locking ring includes a slot to receive a radially protruding part of the complementary element, a locking notch in which the protruding part can be axially locked and wherein a lever is radially rotatable in the slot and an elastic element urges the lever toward a locking position in which the lever locks the protruding part in the notch. The coupling also has a single sealing gasket mounted on an outer surface of the first body to cooperate with the complementary element.
