Abstract:
A fluid fitting coupling system comprising:a. a first fluid fitting assembly having a first fluid fitting body, a central axis, a first fluid passageway, a first mating component for rotation, and a first movable sealing apparatus at a proximal portion of the first fluid passageway in relation to the fluid fitting coupling system; b. a first rotationally engagable axial retainer having a first opening for a fluid to traverse there through, and to which the first fluid fitting is responsive; c. a second fluid fitting assembly having a second fluid fitting body, a central axis, a second fluid passageway, a second mating component for rotation that is engagable with the first mating component, and a second movable sealing apparatus at a distal portion of the second fluid passageway in relation to the fluid fitting coupling system; d. a second rotationally engagable axial retainer having a second opening for a fluid to traverse there through, to which said second fluid fitting assembly is responsive and which is capable of engaging said first rotationally engagable axial retainer; e. wherein when the second rotationally engagable axial retainer engages and rotates in a first direction the first rotationally engagable axial retainer, then the first and second mating components rotate the respective first and second fluid fitting in a direction opposite the first direction so the first movable sealing apparatus is spaced a distance from the first opening and the second movable sealing apparatus is spaced a distance from the second opening.
