ABSTRACT:
A connector means for conveying fluid from a supply source to a delivery location, said connectors having one conduit extending to the supply source and another conduit extending to the delivery location. Each terminal part has a cylindrical housing with a closed end to which the conduit is joined, and having an opposite operable end which is closed by a penetrable barrier. The barrier and closed end of the housing define an interior environment safe from external contaminants. A male tubular coupler is in one housing, a female tubular coupler is in the other housing, and a penetrator element is disposed around one of the tubular connectors. The penetrable barriers have a film of covered adhesive. The exposed adhesive films are placed in face to face contact to coaxially align the housing parts and bond the barrier membranes to exclude the environment. The penetrator element pierces the adhering barriers by either moving the penetrator element from one housing into the coaxially aligned housing, or by telescoping the housing cylinders so that the adhering barriers are contacted by the fixed penetrator element. The male tubular connector then engages the female tubular connector within a protected environment to effect connection between the supply source and the delivery location.
