Abstract

The invention provides a connector for forming a connection between a first part (12) and a second part (52) releasable from the first part (12), the first and second parts (12, 52) having conduits arranged therein, which conduits are arranged to communicate with one another when the first part (12) is connected to the second part (52), a seal (33) arranged between the first and second parts (12, 52), a movable arm (90) mounted on the first part (12) and carrying a portion (32) of the first part (12) defining the respective conduit, and biasing means (95) biasing the said portion (32) of the first part (12) towards the second part (52). The direction in which the second part (52) is releasable from the first part (12) is substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement (99) of the said portion (32) of the first part (12). The advantage of the arrangement is that the second part (52) can be released from the first part (12) without placing undue stress on the seal (33).
