Abstract: An improved connection apparatus for connecting a tube bellows to a spigot for a battery pack (of an electric vehicle “EV”) having a heat deflector including an outer sleeve and a wire mesh ring. The spigot is connected to a battery pack in an EV having a cooling system. The cooling spigot of the EV is configured to accept a flow of glycol to cool the battery. The connector of the bellows of the present application adds an o-ring groove to the bottom of the spigot. The apparatus is then hydroformed to include internal o-ring grooves and corresponding o-rings are positioned into those grooves. The top o-ring groove seals in a typical o-ring application and the bottom o-ring groove acts as a lock. When the cup assembly is pressed onto the spigot, the o-rings compress as part of their normal function when using o-rings as it moves down the spigot.

Abstract: Fluid connector assemblies that seal off fluid paths in the respective connectors are disclosed. When connectors of a fluid connector assembly are connected to each other, respective compressible members in the connectors are displaced, allowing downstream fluid passage through the fluid connector assembly. The connectors maintain a connection by a snap mechanism that provides a threshold retention force. When an external force greater than the threshold force is applied to the fluid connector assembly, the snap mechanism may no longer maintain the connectors together, causing the connectors to decouple from each other. However, each of the compressible members can return to their respective original positions and shapes to seal off respective fluid paths in the connectors, thus preventing further downstream and upstream flow through the fluid connector assembly and limiting or preventing fluid loss.

Abstract: Fluid connectors assemblies that provide neutral fluid displacement without overlapping connectors are disclosed.

Further, the compressible member seals each of the first connector and the second connector and forms a fluid path through the posts and the compressible member, with the seals regulating fluid flow.
