Claim Text:
1. A connector device configured for fluidly connecting two containers with two members that are slidably displaceable in regard to each other along an axis between a first and a second position, the connector device comprising: a first member comprising a needle with two ends arranged parallel to the axis in such a way that a septum of a first container can be penetrated by one end of the needle when the first container is introduced into a receptacle of the first member; a second member comprising a releasable coupling to a second container wherein the other end of the needle does not come into contact with a septum of the second container coupled to the second member when the members are in the first position, and the other needle end penetrates the septum of the second container when the members are in the second position for establishing a fluid connection between the two containers; wherein the first member comprises a releasable coupling to the second container that is coupled to the second member and wherein the coupling of the first member couples to the second container when the two members are in the second position and cannot couple to the second container when the two members are in the first position; wherein the coupling of the second member and the coupling of the first member comprise a plurality of pawls that are adapted to engage with a neck of the second container; and wherein the pawls of the first member run in slots on the second member.
