An improved handbag or the like having one entire side wall formed of a transparent panel which can be selectively exposed to permit facilitated viewing of items contained therein. The transparent panel is joined to an opaque panel to form a receptacle with an access opening at the top. An exterior cover panel is removably positioned in covering relation to the transparent panel and at least partially separably attached to the bag structure, allowing the cover panel to be displaced from covering relation to enable facilitated viewing of personal affects through the transparent panel for easy selection and removal.

A service coupling as recited in claim 1, wherein the charging port comprises one of a push-pin type valve and a screw-type valve, only one of the valves being required to open and close the port. 3. A service coupling as recited in claim 1, wherein a first cavity is disposed on a side of the valve housing adjacent to the port valve and a second cavity is disposed adjacent an opposing side of the valve housing, the pressure balancing passage disposed between the first cavity and the second cavity. 4. A service coupling as recited in claim 3, wherein the body portion includes the second cavity, the second cavity defined in part by a second leg disposed radially inwardly of a first leg, the opposing side of the valve housing in selective contact with the second leg. 5. A service coupling as recited in claim 4, wherein a resilient member is received within the second cavity, the resilient member biasing the valve housing toward the outlet end. 6. A service coupling as recited in claim 5, wherein the valve housing includes an interior passageway, the actuator being received within the interior passageway. 7. A service coupling as recited in claim 6, wherein the interior passageway of the valve housing is radially inward of the pressure balancing passageway. 8. A service coupling as recited in claim 6, wherein in a closed position, a surface of the actuator is sealed against a corresponding surface of the valve housing to close the flow path, and wherein in an open position, the actuator is displaced with respect to the valve housing to engage the port valve and open the flow path. 9. A service coupling as recited in claim 8, wherein an end of the charge port selectively engages the valve housing as the actuator moves toward an open position in engagement with the port valve, resulting in the actuator selectively moving with respect to both the valve housing and the charge port. 10. A service coupling as recited in claim 8, wherein a sealing element is disposed between the surface of the actuator and the corresponding surface of the valve housing. 11. A service coupling as recited in claim 10, wherein at least one of the surface of the actuator and the corresponding surface of the valve housing includes a chamfer. 12. A service coupling as recited in claim 10, wherein a second sealing element is disposed between a second surface of the actuator and a second surface of the valve housing, the second sealing element inhibiting the flow of fluid between the actuator and the valve housing. 13. A service coupling as recited in claim 4, wherein a surface of the actuator is in facing relationship to the second leg. 14. A service coupling as recited in claim 13, wherein a seal is disposed between the surface of the actuator and the second leg to inhibit the flow of fluid between the actuator and the body portion. 15. A service coupling as recited in claim 1, wherein the actuator is a shaft adapted to move longitudinally toward and away from the charge port, the shaft including a nose portion adapted to selectively engage the port valve to move it between a closed position and an open position. 16. A serv
