Patent attributes
Embodiments are disclosed of a fluid connector including a connector body having at least a first exterior surface and a second exterior surface. A male interface projects longitudinally from the first exterior surface and includes a male internal chamber bounded in part by a pair of spaced-apart laterally-moving fluid gates coupled to each other by a first elastic member. A female interface longitudinally adjacent to the male interface is recessed into the first exterior surface. The female interface includes a female internal chamber bounded in part by a longitudinally-moving fluid gate, the longitudinally-moving fluid gate being biased into its closed position by a second elastic member. A plurality of fluid distribution ports are positioned on the second surface, each being fluidly coupled to the male interface, the female interface, or both.
