20140158240 | COUPLING ASSEMBLY WITH VALVES - A valve assembly including a male member and a female member, the male member including a probe having a first fluid passageway having an exit aperture opening through a side face of the probe, and the female member including a socket for receiving the probe, a second fluid passageway having an exit aperture arranged on an internal side face of the socket, a first closing member freely moveable between an open position and a closed position, and a first securing means for releasably securing the first closing member to the probe to restrict relative movement therebetween, the first closing member including two sealing rings such that, when in the closed position, the rings form a seal on either side of the exit aperture. | 06-12-2014 |

20100219630 | COUPLING ASSEMBLY FOR FLUID LINES - A coupling assembly for releasably interconnecting fluid passages comprises male and female coupling members, which are mated by inserting a probe and socket of the members respectively. Each coupling member has a first end arranged for connection to a fluid passage. When mated in use, the coupling assembly provides a straight fluid conduit between the fluid passages comprising through-bores in each of the coupling members coincident along a first longitudinal axis. When mated in use, the probe and socket are arranged coincident on a second longitudinal axis, which is inclined to the first axis. Sealing means comprising an annular sealing ring proximate each of the socket and probe are arranged, when mated in use, either side of an intersection between the through-bore and socket. The sealing arrangement is such that fluid within the fluid conduit exerts a net force resisting separation of said coupling members. | 09-02-2010 |
20100090150 | COUPLING ASSEMBLY WITH VALVES - A valve assembly comprises male and female coupling members that are connectable by inserting a probe of the male member into a socket of the female member. A fluid passageway within the female member has an aperture within the socket that is open and closed by a first closing member that moves within the socket. A fluid passageway within the male member has an aperture on the probe that is open and closed by a second closing member. When mated fluid flows between the two fluid passageways. The female member includes a first cage. During insertion of the probe into the socket, the first cage releasably locks the first closing member to the probe such that the cage carries any separation forces created due to the pressure of the fluid within the passageways. | 04-15-2010 |
