Abstract:
The invention relates to domestics appliance system which makes use of a push-fit fluid coupling ( 1 ) comprising a fluid feeding portion ( 2 ) and a fluid receiving portion ( 3 ) adapted to cooperate with each other to enable fluid to flow in a downstream direction (D 1 ) from the fluid feeding portion ( 2 ) to the fluid receiving portion ( 3 ). The fluid receiving portion ( 3 ) comprises an actuator ( 65 ) comprising a fluid conduit ( 67 ) for fluid to flow from the fluid feeding portion ( 2 ) to the fluid receiving portion ( 3 ). The fluid feeding portion ( 2 ) comprises a housing ( 4 ) defining a fluid flow path ( 5 ) and comprising an opening ( 6 ) in which the actuator ( 65 ) is intended to be inserted, a chamber ( 37 ) arranged in the housing ( 4 ) in which fluid is intended to flow, a valve seat ( 8 ) and a valve member ( 7 ) engaging the valve seat ( 8 ) for closing the fluid flow path ( 5 ), a first piston ( 9 ) slidably received in the chamber ( 37 ) downstream of the valve member ( 7 ). The fluid feeding portion ( 2 ) and the fluid receiving portion ( 3 ) are adapted to cooperate with each other such that when the actuator ( 65 ) is inserted in the opening ( 6 ), the actuator ( 65 ) and the opening ( 6 ) cooperate with each other to form a fluid seal preventing fluid in chamber ( 37 ) to leak out from the chamber ( 37 ), then, when the actuator ( 65 ) is further inserted in the opening ( 6 ), the actuator ( 65 ) is adapted to contact the first piston ( 9 ) and to displace the first piston ( 9 ) in an upstream direction (D 2 ) until the first piston ( 9 ) contacts the valve member ( 7 ) and lifts the valve member ( 7 ) off the valve seat ( 8 ) for opening the fluid flow path ( 5 ) and allowing fluid to flow in the downstream direction (D 1 ). This invention prevents leak of fluid between the fluid feeding portion ( 2 ) and the fluid receiving portion ( 3 ).

Claim (Index 3):
A system according to  claim 2 , wherein the first spring element is a coil spring.
