Pneumatic coupling system and method

A fluid coupling system comprising:

• a supply bladder having a supply inflation portion partially enclosed within a supply housing, the supply housing having a supply inflation passage that provides fluid communication between a fluid passage and the supply inflation portion;
• a discharge bladder having a discharge inflation portion partially enclosed within a discharge housing;
• a flow controller;
• wherein the discharge inflation portion may be isolated from the fluid passage in a first housing position and be placed in fluid communication with the fluid passage in a second housing position by twisting the supply housing in relation to the discharge housing to the second housing position, and wherein the flow controller may block the fluid passage while in a first controller position and may open a fluid passage through the supply housing and the discharge housing while in a second controller position.

A coupling system comprising:

• a supply means having a supply inflation means portion partially enclosed within a supply housing, the supply housing having a supply inflation passage means that provides fluid communication between at least one fluid passage and the supply inflation means portion;
• a discharge bladder means having a discharge inflation means portion partially enclosed within a discharge housing;
• a flow control means;
• wherein the discharge inflation means portion may be isolated from the fluid passage in a first housing position and be placed in fluid communication with the fluid passage in a second housing position by twisting the supply housing in relation to the discharge housing to the second housing position, and wherein the flow control means blocks the fluid passage while in a first controller position and opens a fluid passage through the supply housing and the discharge housing while in a second controller position.
