| 20080277002 | COUPLER - This invention is directed to a coupler which comprises an actuator housing and a plunger housing each formed with a passageway for transmitting fluid entering an indwelling catheter to a collection bag. As the housings are connected together, a plunger located in the passageway of the plunger housing is moved from a closed position to an open position by an actuator mounted in the actuator housing in such a way that a seal is continuously maintained in the plunger housing to prevent the escape of fluids from its passageway. A quick-release locking mechanism maintains the two housings in a locked position when the plunger is in the open position, and may be easily activated to permit separation of the housings from one another when it is desired to empty or replace the collection bag. | 11-13-2008 |

| 20130186494 | QUICK-DISCONNECT COUPLING WITH A HEAT-SENSITIVE CUTOFF FEATURE - A quick-disconnect coupling which provides connection between a fuel source and a gas appliance. The quick-disconnect coupling is heat-sensitive for preventing the flow of gas to the gas appliance/equipment when it is subjected to high temperatures.
