Flow control system (10) for controlling the flow between first and second containerized systems (12,14) has a first flow control member (20) positioned in the first containerized member (12) for cooperating with a second flow control member (22) positioned in the second containerized system (14).

Flow control system (10) for controlling the flow between first and second containerized systems (12,14) has a first flow control member (20) positioned in the first containerized member (12) for cooperating with a second flow control member (22) positioned in the second containerized system (14). The first flow control member (20) has a fluid flow channel (28) in fluid communication with a proboscis member (50) having a through channel (58) in the second flow control member (14). Displacement of the flow control members (20,22) toward and away from one another enables the proboscis member (50) to open and, alternatively, close communicating fluid flow channels connecting the first and second containerized systems (12,14), without apparent leakage.

A flow control system for controlling the flow of fluid between first and second systems, said first system having a first opening, and said second system having a second opening, said flow control system comprising: a first flow control member adapted to be positioned in said first opening, said first flow control member comprising a first body member, a first fluid flow channel through said first body member, a first seal having a first opening therethrough arranged in said first fluid flow channel, a fluid entrance port through said first body member in fluid communication with said first fluid flow channel, a first spring retained in said first fluid flow channel, and a valve member normally biased by said first spring against said first seal to close said first opening through said first seal; a second flow control member adapted to be positioned in said second opening, said second flow control member comprising a second body member, a second fluid flow channel through said second body member, a second seal having a second opening therethrough arranged in said second fluid flow channel, a shoulder in said second fluid flow channel, a stop member slidable in said second fluid flow channel between said second seal and said shoulder, a proboscis member extended from said stop member away from said shoulder, said proboscis member being slidable axially in said second opening of said second seal and in said first opening of said first seal, said proboscis member having an open end portion extended on one side of said second seal, at least one exit port within said second body member, and a through channel extending from said open end portion to said exit port; and a second spring retained in said second fluid flow channel, said stop member normally being biased by said second spring to ward said second seal to close said exit port in a sealing relation with said second seal; wherein, when said first opening of said first system is urged toward said second opening of said second system, said proboscis member partially withdraws into said second body member through said second seal and said stop member moves toward said shoulder; said proboscis member penetrates said first opening of said first seal; said open end portion of said proboscis member engages and displaces said valve member into deforming contact with said first spring thereby positioning said entrance port in fluid communication with said through channel; wherein, when said first opening of said first system is urged into proximate contact with said second opening of said second system, said proboscis member withdraws further into said second body member through said second opening of said second seal and said stop member comes to rest on said shoulder in said second body member, thereby moving said exit port out of a sealing relation with said second seal and enabling an open fluid flow path from said entrance port, through said open end portion, through said through channel, through said exit port, and to a fluid inlet channel of said second system; and wherein, when said first opening of said first system is urged away from said second opening of said second system, said proboscis member partially withdraws from said first opening of said first seal and away from said valve member thereby allowing said valve member to seal against said first seal, and said exit port of said proboscis member to return to a sealing relation with said second seal, thus closing said open fluid flow path between said first and second systems.
