Abstract
A connection assembly includes a manifold. The manifold includes a first plate with a first longitudinal slot and a second longitudinal slot, a second plate with sidewalls and flanges that extend from the sidewalls, a lever pivotably coupled to the first plate and the second plate, a first shaft, and a second shaft. The flanges are configured to support a removable cartridge. The lever is configured to move the second plate relative to the first plate between a first position and a second position. The first shaft extends through the first longitudinal slot, the second plate and the lever. The second shaft extends through the second longitudinal slot and the lever.

A connection assembly comprising:
- a manifold including:
- a first plate including a first longitudinal slot and a second longitudinal slot that extend at or about perpendicular to each other;
- a second plate including sidewalls and flanges extending from the sidewalls, the flanges configured to support a removable cartridge, and the first plate being disposed between the sidewalls of the second plate;
- a lever pivotably coupled to the first plate and the second plate, the lever configured to move the second plate relative to the first plate between a first position and a second position, the lever including side portions;
- a first shaft extending through the first longitudinal slot in the first plate, one of the sidewalls of the second plate, and one of the side portions of the lever;
- and
- a second shaft extending through the second longitudinal slot in the first plate and one of the side portions of the lever.
A connection assembly comprising:
- a manifold including:
- a first plate including a first longitudinal slot extending in a first direction and a second longitudinal slot extending in a second direction that is at or about perpendicular to the first direction, the second longitudinal slot having a first end and a second end that are each offset from the first longitudinal slot in the first direction;
- a second plate including sidewalls and flanges extending from the sidewalls, the flanges configured to support a removable cartridge, and the first plate being disposed between the sidewalls of the second plate;
- a lever pivotably coupled to the first plate and the second plate, the lever configured to move the second plate relative to the first plate between a first position and a second position, the lever including side portions;
- a first shaft extending through the first longitudinal slot in the first plate, one of the sidewalls of the second plate, and one of the side portions of the lever;
- and
- a second shaft extending through the second longitudinal slot in the first plate and one of the side portions of the lever.
