Patent ID: 8460252

Claim:
A connector assembly for controlling flow in a fluid line, comprising: an outer housing comprising a first end, a second end, and a passage extending therebetween, the first end comprising a connector for connecting the assembly to a fluid line; an inner housing disposed within the outer housing and comprising a boss disposed adjacent the first end, the inner housing being movable axially within the outer housing between a first position adjacent the first end and a second position further from the first end than the first position when a device is connected to the connector on the first end of the outer housing; a tubular member disposed within the inner housing and comprising a fluid passage therein extending between the second end of the outer housing and the boss of the inner housing, the tubular member carried by the inner housing such that the tubular member moves axially as the inner housing moves between the first and second positions; cam features on the outer housing and the tubular member for causing the tubular member to rotate as the inner housing moves between the first and second positions, thereby opening a fluid path between the fluid passage in the tubular member and the first end of the outer housing to allow fluid flow through the assembly with the device connected to the first end of the outer shell; and a syringe with a barrel integral with the outer housing.
