Abstract: A connector for facilitating transfer of anesthetic between an anesthetic gasifying apparatus and an anesthetic container. The connector includes a first articulated arm member associated with the anesthetic gasifying apparatus and including a pair of first fluid channels. A second articulated arm member, associated with the anesthetic container, is pivotably connected to the first articulated arm member, and includes a pair of second fluid channels. The first and second anesthetic channels may be brought into fluid communication with one another by pivoting the first and second arm members into predetermined relative angular positions.
