Abstract
A fluidic connection for producing a connection between a first container and a second container, wherein, for producing a fluidic connection, a first and second connecting arrangement can be coupled to one another and an opening brought about by the coupling, as a result of which a passage is produced which is suitable for interconnecting the interiors of the containers.
Claims19
A connecting system for producing a fluidic connection between a first contain-er and a second container, wherein the connecting system for producing a fluidic connection comprises a first connecting arrangement and a second connecting arrangement, which are couplable to one another and are configured to bring about an opening by coupling, as a result of which a passage is produced which is suitable for interconnecting the interiors of the containers,
- one of the first and second connecting arrangements comprising a tubular sealing arrangement and another of the first and second connecting arrangements comprising a structure that is complementary to the tubular sealing arrangement, so that the tubular sealing arrangement comes into sealing contact with the complementary structure by means of a translational relative movement of the connecting arrangements along a coupling axis,
- the sealing arrangement comprising an outwardly facing circumferential sealing surface for sealing contact with an inwardly facing circumferential sealing surface of the complementary structure,
- wherein
- the other of the first and second connecting arrangements comprises one or more pressing elements that are offset inwards with respect to the coupling axis relative to the circumferential sealing surface of the complementary structure in order to press the circumferential sealing surface of the tubular sealing arrangement against the circumferential sealing surface of the complementary structure.
Connecting A connecting system for producing a fluidic connection between a first container and a second container, wherein the connecting system for producing a fluidic connection comprises a first connecting arrangement and a second connecting arrangement, which can be coupled to one another and are designed to bring about an opening by coupling, as a result of which a passage is produced which is suitable for interconnecting the interiors of the containers,
- the first connecting arrangement comprising a tubular sealing arrangement and the second connecting arrangement comprising a structure that is complementary to the tubular sealing arrangement,
- the sealing arrangement comprising an outwardly facing circumferential sealing surface for sealing contact with the circumferential sealing surface of the receptacle,
- wherein
- the first connecting arrangement comprises a bead along the circumferential surface of the tubular sealing arrangement, which bead has an oversize relative to the circumferential sealing surface of the structure.
