Abstract

See full text

A quick connect/disconnect system includes a male connector and a female connector. The male connector includes a first body having a fixed male protrusion and a first rotating ring assembly rotatably connected to the first body. The female connector includes a first coupling channel including a mouth configured to receive the fixed male protrusion and extending from the mouth toward a seat portion, a shuttle movable within the first coupling channel and including a flange configured to form a seal with the seat portion, and an extending portion extending within the first coupling channel and a biasing member configured to bias the flange into sealing contact with the seat portion such that rotation of the first rotating ring assembly in a first direction forces the fixed male protrusion to move axially into contact with the extending portion thereby moving the shuttle to force the flange away from the seat portion.
