Abstract: A multiple connector fluid coupling includes a plurality of quick-connect fluid couplings and comprises a first plate adapted to support a plurality of male connector parts, a second plate adapted to support a plurality of female connector parts in alignment for registration with the male parts in the first plate, and a third plate adapted to engage displaceable sleeves on the female connector parts to simultaneously activate the sleeves. In one form of the invention, the second and third plates have elongated end portions so that the plates can be manually grasped and manipulated for positioning with respect to the first plate. In another form of the present invention, a manual lever-operated cam displaces the third plate with respect to the second plate so that a mechanical advantage can be provided for operating a plurality of large fluid connectors at one time.

Abstract: A plural fluid coupling comprising a plurality of fluid connectors each of which has a male and female part which are movable with respect to each other between a fluidly connected and an unconnected position. The male parts of the fluid connectors are attached to a first plate while the female parts are attached to a second plate so that, with the plates positioned adjacent each other, the male and female parts of the fluid connectors are aligned with each other. A clamping assembly is pivotally connected to one plate and, upon actuation, moves the plates together and the fluid connector part to their fluidly connected positions.
