  • Patent number: 11608922
    Abstract: A valve connector includes a housing and a pressing device. The housing includes an operative end, a coupling end, and a through-hole extending from the operative end through the coupling end. The pressing device includes a push seat received in the through-hole and located between the lever and the coupling end and a lever abutting against the push seat and pivotably connected to the housing. The push seat includes a first passageway. The lever includes a second passageway and is operable to move the push seat. When the lever is in a release position, the first passageway does not intercommunicate with the second passageway. When the lever moves from the release position to a locking position, the push seat moves towards the coupling end, and the first passageway intercommunicates with the second passageway when the lever is in the locking position.
