  • the ring 48 is provided with a axial end fixed to the lower part 10 facing away from the end of the upper part 8 and thus formed to spring in the radial direction.
  • Both the projection 30 and the ring 48 are in the intended condition of the membrane 21 in the annular gap 46 of the membrane 20 on the upper part 8 facing side of the membrane 20 at.
  • the second removal port 4 has no additional protective cap to protect the break-off cap 33.
  • FIG 3.a a further embodiment of the connector system is shown, in which the first extraction port 2 off FIG. 1 and the second removal port 4 off FIG. 2 are formed on a common boat 6.
  • the connector system is welded or welded to a container to seal the container.
  • Figure 3.b is such a container 50 in the form of a foil bag with the connector system Figure 3.a shown.
  • the foil bag 50 is formed, for example, from a plurality of material layers 52, which are connected to each other at their edges by a peripheral weld 54.
  • the connector system in particular the shuttle 6 of the connector system, is arranged between the material layers 52 in the region of the weld seam 54 and sealingly welded to the two material layers 52.
  • the weld 54 and the connector system thus close an interior space of the container, in which, for example, a medical fluid is stored, from the environment.
  • a removal device 60 or 70 can be inserted into one of the two removal ports 2, 4.
  • the first and second removal devices 60 and 70 can also be introduced simultaneously or together into the respective removal port 2, 4.
  • Figure 4.a shows a side view of the connector system of the Figures 3.a and 3.b
  • the Figure 4.b shows the (reversed) representation Figure 4.a , In contrast to Figure 4.a
  • the first removal port 2 already the protective cap 38 is removed.
  • the second removal port 4 not yet the upper part 8 on the lower part 10th assembled.
  • the arrows 55, 56 on or in the breakaway caps 32 and 33 which identify the two sampling ports 2 and 4 as sampling ports.
  • the two arrows are here exemplified as openings in the two caps 32 and 33 introduced.
  • FIGs 5.a to 5.c illustrate the interaction of the connector system according to the invention with the removal devices 60 and 70.
  • the break off caps 32 and 33 are already removed.
  • the two removal devices here are the first removal device 60 with a cylinder connection 61 and the second removal device 70 with a mandrel connection 71
  • Figures 5.a and 5.b show the two removal devices 60 and 70 in the unconnected state.
  • the Figure 5.c shows the two sampling devices 60 and 70, however, in the intended connective state, here the fully connected state.
  • Figure 5.a shows the presentation Figure 4.b with the first removal device 60 and the second removal device 70.
  • the first removal device 60 is assigned to the first removal port 2.
  • the second removal device 70 is assigned to the second removal port 4.
  • the first removal device 60 here comprises an optional drip chamber 62 and a hose, not shown here.
  • it includes a cylinder port 61 for connection to the first removal port 2.
  • the second removal device 70 here also includes an optional drip chamber 72 and a hose, not shown here.
  • the break-off caps 32 and 33 are already removed from the two ports 2 and 4.
  • the mandrel connection 71 of the second removal device 70 may also be referred to as a piercing spike or spike. This is introduced into the second removal port 4, pierces the membrane 21 with its tip and thereby establishes a fluid connection.
  • the mandrel connection 71 is held in the inserted state, in particular by means of clamping through the membrane 21 and / or the channel 18 and / or through the channel section above the membrane in its position.
  • the channel 18 of the second sampling port 4 is here dimensioned in its length so that the piercing spike 71 extends in the fully inserted state at least over half the length of the channel 18. As a result, the second removal device 4 can be securely held in the second removal port 4.
  • the cylinder port 61 comprises the inner, substantially cylindrical pipe section 61-1, which is insertable into the first removal port 2. At the latest in the fully inserted state, the pipe section 61-1 opens the membrane 20.
  • the end faces of the pipe section 61-1, which press against the membrane 20, are here arranged essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder connection 61.
  • the end surfaces or the front portion of the pipe section 61-1 may have a finish and / or a cone as illustrated herein to assist in opening the membrane 20.
  • the cylinder port 61 is a Care-Lock type port.
  • the cylinder port 61 is formed in particular by two concentric pipe sections 61-1 and 61-2 of different lengths.
  • the outer tube portion 61-2 has a larger diameter and extends beyond the inner tube portion 61-1.
  • Both pipe sections 61-1 and 61-2 are made substantially cylindrical.
  • a thread 61-3 is arranged in the lower region which lies in the direction of the drip chamber.
