An adjustable connector for refrigerant pipe includes a body, a valve pin is inserted into the body, and the body includes a quick-release assembly and a driving member respectively disposed on a mounting part and an installation part thereof. When the driving member is operated to suppress the pressed end of the valve pin to move the pushing end close to the pocket, the valve spout is opened to pass the refrigerant. Besides, when the driving member is operated to not suppress the pressed end by jumping off itself quickly, the pushing end is moved away from the pocket, so that the valve spout is closed to block the refrigerant.

An apparatus for filtering water has an interface and a filtration/purification canister removably mountable thereon. Connecting the canister to the interface automatically opens a check valve in the interface to permit water to flow from the interface into and through the canister, and then back to and through the interface to an outlet port. Disconnecting the canister from the interface automatically closes the check valve, stopping the flow of water. An end cap may be substituted for the canister to permit fluid to flow through the interface when the canister is not mounted on the interface. The outlet port may be directly connected to an appliance that uses water, to eliminate possible contamination that may occur when water is brought indirectly form the outlet port to the appliance instead. A flapper valve is provided in the canister to prevent back flow of fluid from the inlet port of the canister when the canister is not mounted on the interface. The flapper valve also is provided with an actuating means to automatically open the flapper valve when the canister is mounted on the interface, which permits fluid to be drained from the canister when the fluid distribution system is being drained without disconnecting the canister from the interface.

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.

An aseptic fluid connector having a first connector including a first fluid passageway for receiving a fluid therein; a first port in fluid communication with the first fluid passageway for passage of the fluid therethrough; and a first deflecting member. The first deflecting member includes a first engaging portion radially spaced relative to the first port, and a first valve movable between a closed position and an open position with movement of the first engaging portion between a non-deflected position and a deflected position, respectively. In the non-deflected position, the first valve is located in the closed position forming a fluid-tight seal between the first valve and first port and preventing the passage of fluid therethrough, and in the deflected position, the first valve is located in the open position allowing the aseptic passage of fluid through the first port.

A quick-connector comprises a first body portion, a second body portion, and a ball valve. The first body portion defines a first fluid channel. The second body portion defines a second fluid channel. The second body portion is coupled to the first body portion such that the first fluid channel is aligned with the second fluid channel. The first fluid channel and the second fluid channel form a fluid channel extending through the quick-connector. The ball valve is positioned in the fluid channel extending through the quick-connector. Movement of the first body portion and the second body portion relative to each other causes the ball valve to move between a flow position and a sealed position. In the flow position, the ball valve allows fluid to flow through the quick-connector. In the sealed position, the ball valve prevents fluid from flowing through the quick-connector.

A coaxial coupling 10 includes a female coupling half 50 and a male coupling half 130. The coupling 10 is used in a hydraulic circuit 100 that includes a multistage hydraulic pump 101 and a hydraulic machine 102. The coupling is used in the circuit 100 to connect components when the pump is running. The coupling halves have a disconnected configuration (FIG. 1), a connection initiation configuration (FIG. 2), and a fully connected configuration (FIG. 3). Coupling half 50 includes a manually actuated restrictor 1 that signals the pump 101 to move to a low flow condition independently of load demand from the machine 102 in the connection initiation configuration. This reduces the forces required to move the coupling halves from the connection initiation configuration to the fully connected configuration.

A quick-connector comprises a first body portion, a second body portion, and a ball valve. The first body portion defines a first fluid channel. The second body portion defines a second fluid channel. The second body portion is coupled to the first body portion such that the first fluid channel is aligned with the second fluid channel. The first fluid channel and the second fluid channel form a fluid channel extending through the quick-connector. The ball valve is positioned in the fluid channel extending through the quick-connector. Movement of the first body portion and the second body portion relative to each other causes the ball valve to move between a flow position and a sealed position. In the flow position, the ball valve allows fluid to flow through the quick-connector. In the sealed position, the ball valve prevents fluid from flowing through the quick-connector.

Some examples include a valve for a printing fluid supply system, the valve including a static portion and a dynamic portion. The static portion includes a stem extending along a longitudinal axis. The stem includes a head, a tail, and a shaft extending between the head and the tail. The dynamic portion is disposed around the stem. The dynamic portion is longitudinally movable along the stem between a closed position and an opened position. The dynamic portion includes a neck and a body extending longitudinally from the neck, the neck to seal around the head in the closed position and fluidly open in the opened position, the body to slidably fluidly seal against a housing between opened and closed positions. A liquid ink pathway and an air pathway are formed between the static portion and the dynamic portion.

A coupler (R) female element (4) able to be coupled with a male element (2) for the removable fluid junction of two pipes. The female element body (20) centered on a first longitudinal central axis (X20) with an inner volume (V20) for receiving the male element. Additionally, the female element has a central plunger (44) longitudinally secured to the body and positioned within the inner volume, with a slide valve (46) movable within the inner volume around the central plunger between a forward closing position, in which the slide valve (46) cooperates tightly with the body (20) and the central plunger (44), and a withdrawn open position. The female element body (20) including an outer flange ring (22) positioned around the inner volume and having an outer radial surface. The outer flange ring has at least two passages (32), each passage being arranged through the outer flange ring and linking the outer radial surface and the inner volume.

A catheter connector assembly which may be included with a corporeal drainage system, and a method of draining fluid from a bodily cavity. The catheter connector assembly may include a catheter connector and a drainage line connector. The catheter connector may include a connector body with a coupling feature, a deformable sealing element, and a retaining member. The drainage line connector may include a drainage line body first and second hinge clips, and an actuator. The actuator is designed to deform the deformable sealing element when the drainage line connector is coupled to the catheter connector.
