Connector coupling assembly

A coupler comprising:

• a first connector having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a body having a channel, a mating portion, a groove disposed on the mating portion, and a first valve disposed longitudinally between the first end and the second end and radially between the body and the mating portion, the first valve having a compressed state and an expanded state;
• a second connector having a housing, a connecting portion extending from the housing, and a second valve disposed at least partially within the housing, the second valve having a compressed state and an expanded state and the housing having an opening configured to receive a portion of the first connector;
• and
• a collar coupled to the housing of the second connector and configured to receive at least a portion of the first connector to detachably couple the first connector to the collar and the second connector such that the housing of the second connector extends through the first end of the first connector, the collar having a first collar end and second collar end opposite the first end, the first collar end including an engaging edge extending radially inward from the first collar end and a securing rim disposed at the second collar end,
• wherein the first valve and the second valve are in the compressed state when the engaging edge engages with the groove,
• wherein the first connector is configured to decouple from the collar and the second connector in response to a pullout force exceeding a predetermined threshold force.

A coupler comprising:

• a first connector having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a mating portion with a groove, a body having a channel and a fluid opening, and a first valve disposed longitudinally between the first end and the second end and radially between the groove and the body, the first valve having a compressed state and an expanded state, wherein the fluid opening is fluid communication with the channel;
• a second connector having a housing, a connecting portion extending from the housing, and a second valve disposed at least partially within the housing, the second valve having a compressed state and an expanded state and the housing having an opening configured to receive a portion of the first connector, wherein the second valve seals the opening when second valve is in the expanded state;
• and
• a collar coupled to the housing of the second connector and configured to receive at least a portion of the first connector to detachably couple the first connector to the collar and the second connector such that the housing of the second connector extends through the first end of the first connector, the collar having a first collar end and second collar end opposite the first end, the first collar end including an engaging edge extending radially inward from the first collar end and a securing rim disposed at the second collar end, the engaging edge disposed within the groove when the first connector is coupled to the collar,
• wherein the first valve and the second valve are in the compressed state when the first connector is coupled to the collar,
• wherein the first connector is configured to decouple from the collar and the second connector in response to a pullout force exceeding a predetermined threshold force,
• wherein a fluid pathway is formed between the first end of the first connector and the connecting portion of the second connector and when the first connector is coupled to the collar and the collar is coupled to the second connector.
