Patent ID: 7828336

Claim:
A connector for connecting two devices in fluid communication, said connector comprising: a male adapter defining a groove defining a first surface outboard to a first device attached to said male adapter; a female body having a cavity, a latch body and a biased latch operator, said latch body defining a latch receptor, said biased latch operator defining a handle and a tang, said tang being dimensioned to be slidably received within said latch receptor, said tang defining an opening adapted to receive said male adapter, said tang further defining a lower border of said opening, said lower border having dimensions selected for engaging said groove of said male adapter thereby interlocking said male adapter in said female adapter, said tang further defining a first side inboard to a second device attached to said female adapter, a second side outboard to the second device attached to said female adapter, and a first chamfer on said first side along said lower border of said opening, said first chamfer defined in configuration selected to facilitate removal of said male adapter from inside said female adapter, whereby when an axial force is applied in opposition to the connection between said male adapter and said female adapter, said first surface of said groove of said male adapter contacts said first chamfer of said tang of said female adapter, encouraging said tang downward in order to disengage said male adapter from said female adaptor, wherein said axial force is greater than an operating force caused by a pressure of a fluid within said cavity.
