| 20110097141 | CONNECTOR FOR USE IN MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS - A quick connect connector has a male member that can be changed from a first length for connection to a first female coupling member like a Camelbak female coupling member to a second length for connection to a second female coupling member like a CPC coupling member. The female coupling member of an inter-connector is configured to have independently operable buttons each moving a lip from a locked position at rest to an unlocked position to lock and unlock the male member in the female coupling member. The male member and the female member may also each be configured with a spring loaded valve that opens when the male member is inserted into the female coupling member and that closes upon removal of the male member from the female coupling member. | 04-28-2011 |
