Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0808717A2] The connector assembly includes an outlet assembly on an ink supply container and an inlet assembly mounted to a printer station. The outlet and inlet assemblies have an outlet and inlet valve respectively. The outlet and inlet valves are simultaneously rotatable into open positions to allow ink flow from the supply container to an ink delivery tube on the station. The outlet and inlet assemblies also have a hook and a latch, respectively, that engage when the outlet and inlet valves are coupled and are in the open position, thereby preventing the outlet assembly from being uncoupled from the inlet assembly when either the outlet or inlet valve is in the open position. <IMAGE>
