Abstract:
1. A fuel cell system comprising: a receptacle having an outlet fluidly connected to a fuel cell; an actuator; and a fuel supply including a valve, wherein the fuel supply is removably connectable to the receptacle such that a flow path is selectively established between the valve and the outlet, and the actuator selectively opens the valve to establish a flow path for a fuel stored in the fuel supply to be transported to the fuel cell, wherein the actuator is pivotally connected to the fuel supply and operatively associated with the valve, wherein when the actuator is depressed at a first end a second end of the actuator engages the valve wherein the receptacle further comprises a coupling member adapted to receive the valve and wherein during insertion the actuator is depressed by the receptacle.
