Abstract
A fluid line connector arrangement includes a first connector assembly of the fluid line connector arrangement, as particularly configured to efficiently connect and secure fluid line fittings to a hand-held beverage dispenser, and a second connector assembly of the fluid line connector arrangement, as particularly configured to efficiently connect and secure a fluid line fittings to a beverage fluid source.
Claims15
A fluid line connector arrangement, comprising:
- a first connector assembly at the proximal end of a fluid line assembly, the first connector assembly, comprising a header plate, comprising a rear face, a front face, and a multiplicity of tapered connector holes formed through the header plate, wherein each tapered connector hole comprises a first opening at the rear face and a second opening at the front face, further wherein the first opening has a diameter operably less than the diameter of the second opening;
- and
- a second connector assembly provided at the distal end of said fluid line assembly, the second connector assembly, comprising a header bar, comprising a rear face, a front face, and a multiplicity of tapered connector holes formed through the header bar, wherein each tapered connector hole comprises a first opening at the rear face and a second opening at the front face, further wherein the first opening has a diameter operably less than the diameter of the second opening.
A fluid line connector arrangement, comprising:
- a first connector assembly at the distal end of a fluid line assembly, the first connector assembly being configured to connect a multiplicity of individual fluid lines extending from the distal end the fluid line assembly to a hand-held beverage dispenser, and the first connector assembly, comprising a header plate, comprising a rear face, a front face, and a multiplicity of tapered connector holes formed through the header plate, wherein each tapered connector hole comprises a first opening at the rear face and a second opening at the front face, further wherein the first opening has a diameter operably less than the diameter of the second opening;
- and
- a second connector assembly provided at the proximal end of the fluid line assembly, the second connector assembly being configured to connect a multiplicity of individual fluid lines extending from the proximal end of the fluid line assembly to a flow control assembly.
A fluid line connector arrangement, comprising:
- a first connector assembly at the distal end of a fluid line assembly, the first connector assembly being configured to connect a multiplicity of individual fluid lines extending from the distal end the fluid line assembly to a hand-held beverage dispenser;
- and
- a second connector assembly provided at the proximal end of the fluid line assembly, the second connector assembly being configured to connect a multiplicity of individual fluid lines extending from the proximal end of the fluid line assembly to a flow control assembly, and the second connector assembly, comprising a header bar, comprising a rear face, a front face, and a multiplicity of tapered connector holes formed through the header bar, wherein each tapered connector hole comprises a first opening at the rear face and a second opening at the front face, further wherein the first opening has a diameter operably less than the diameter of the second opening.
