20120124789 | LOCK SYSTEM WITH PROFILE STRIPS AND SLIDERS FOR CONNECTING AND SEPARATING - The proposed invention provides a lock system involves a first lock and a second lock each with two profile strips operable for engagement with an at least partially flexible bundle and effective to enable an environmentally-sealed connection of a first bundle with a second bundle in a closed docking position and for an environmentally-sealed guidance of a flow in a flow direction (D) through the lock members from the first bundle into the second bundle in an open docking position. The second bundle provides similar lock members facing toward the first bundle, which lock members in the opened docking position engage the lock members of the first bundle and jointly with the lock members of the first bundle forms a flow channel for flow in the flow direction. Additionally the invention relates to a slider for connecting and separating such locks. The slider has an insertion side on which the locks are insertable in insertion directions (A, B) which enclose an acute angle (γ) in which the slider is insertable, and opposite the insertion side an outlet side on which the locks connected there with each other can be removed in a joint sliding direction (C) from the slider. | 05-24-2012 |
