Abstract
A liquid or gas system connector, which is easily attachable and detachable, and provides a seal to avoid undesirable leakage when in the connected position. The connection is accomplished by guiding a first member along cam surfaces and, when the first member has been guided in the connecting position, the same cam surfaces press against each other, supplying an axially directed force which deforms a resilient o-ring to provide a leak-proof seal.
