Abstract:
1. A substance communication coupling system comprising: a first connector component; a substance switch operably connected to a substance source, the substance switch operable for selectively transferring a substance from the substance source to the first connector component, the substance switch including a first link moveably associated with the substance switch; and a second connector component operably connectable to the first connector component, the second connector component including a second link associated with the second connector component and engageable with the first link of the substance switch; wherein the substance switch is selectively activated to transfer the substance from the first connector component to the second connector component in response to movement of the first link when engaged with the second link; and wherein the second link is moveable relative to the second connector component between an extended position and a retracted position by movement of the first link when the first link is engaged with the second link, wherein the substance switch is activated to transfer the substance from the substance source to the second connector component when the second link is in the retracted position.
