Abstract
A stopcock manifold system includes: a manifold provided with one or several stopcocks, each having a rotary opening/closing control apparatus with at least one finger or crank pin; a rotary mechanized actuator coupling part for each manifold, a rotary axis of the coupling part corresponding in use to a rotation axis of the control apparatus, the coupling part coupling with the stopcock by insertion of each crank pin into a closed notch in the coupling part, the closed notch of each coupling part receiving one of the crank pins of the corresponding stopcock, such that the crank pin is insertable into the corresponding coupling part by tilting the manifold and then straightening it, until it abuts on a first bearing point comprised of an edge of the closed notch; and a maintaining system that enables each coupling part to individually maintain the corresponding stopcock in place.
