Abstract
The present device is a connector device designed to connect two tubes or containers so as to allow the transfer of fluids from one tube or container to the other. The connector device includes a tubular member made from an elastic material, with the tubular member having an inner wall that includes longitudinal slits. The tubular member can be made from one individual tube or a pair of joined flanged tubes. The flanged tubular members are joined at the flange positions and held together by a collar member. Furthermore, a plurality of individual tubular members can be placed in a rectangular frame member so that the tubular members are perpendicular and integral to the frame member.
Claims4
A connector device designed for allowing the transfer of fluids from one container to another, wherein said connector device is comprised of at least two flanged tubular members each having a perpendicular flange, an inner wall forming a bore, and an outer wall opposite said inner wall, with said flanged tubular members having different inner wall diameters so as to allow receipt of various sized necks such that a pair of said flanged tubular members can be coupled to one another so as to allow said flanges to abut one another, once said flanges abut one another said flanged tubular members are placed in a collar having channels designed and dimensioned to receive said flanges and hold said flanges in an abutting relationship so that a pair of necks on a pair of containers can be placed in said flanged tubular members to allow the transfer of fluid from one container to the other without said flanged tubular members being pushed apart.
