Abstract: A sealing member, whose unique manner of movement provides an improvement to a quick-connect valve assembly, for fluid control. A coupling force, required to couple the quick-connect valve assembly, containing the sealing member, is substantially reduced, resulting in an improvement to a typical quick-connect valve assembly (prior-art). The quick-connect valve assembly is comprised of at least a male coupler, a female coupler and the sealing member. During the resultant coupling, the sealing member's features ensure that said sealing member is firstly moved in a rotational manner and then secondly, if desired, in a more typical translational manner. The sealing member design allows backward compatibility with the typical quick connect valve assemblies. This backward compatibility allows a simple one-part replacement of a typical sealing member (prior-art) with said sealing member in order to benefit from this improvement.

Abstract: There is provided an electric connection-inspection device which does not impair a freedom of selection of using materials from a viewpoint of restriction in terms of product's function with the aptitude of electric features of electric resistance and physical properties of internal stress, and restriction in terms of manufacture as to the appropriation or not of employment of a plating method, and which has a fine construction provided with the excellent durability that an electrode element is hard to adhere and coagulate.
