Abstract
Abstract A normally-closed valve that can be easily connected and disconnected. Disposed in the fluid passageway through the valve is a cylindrical member that may be moved between an open position and a closed position. A spring holds the member in the closed position, and a leur-type cannula may be inserted into the valve to push the member into the open position. Two sealing rings are mounted around the cylindrical member. These rings prevent flow through the valve when the member is in its closed position. Two sets of channels are placed in the walls of the passageway to permit flow around the sealing rings when the member is in its open position.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
352 words
A valve for permitting flow of a fluid therethrough when actuated by a cannula, and otherwise preventing flow of fluid therethrough, the valve comprising: a fluid passageway bounded by a wall and having first and second ports, the first port adapted to receive a cannula; a movable member having first and second ends and a perimeter surface, the movable member being disposed in the fluid passageway, and being displaceable, in a direction parallel to overall fluid flow through the valve, to an open position, wherein fluid may pass through the valve, and to a closed position, wherein fluid is prevented from passing through the valve, such that when the movable member is in the closed position it is closer to the first port than when it is in the open position, and such that the movable member may be moved from the closed position to the open position by a cannula inserted through the first port; biasing means for urging the movable member away from the open position towards the closed position; first sealing means, located between the movable member and the passageway wall, for preventing flow between the passageway wall and the perimeter surface of the movable member when the movable member is in the closed position; and first channel means for permitting flow between the first sealing means and the passageway wall when the movable member is in its opened position; wherein the first sealing means is mounted on the perimeter surface of the movable member, and the first channel means is mounted in the passageway wall; and further including second sealing means, mounted on the perimeter surface of the movable member, for preventing flow between the passageway wall and the perimeter surface of the movable member when the movable member is in the closed position, the first sealing means being mounted closer to the first end of the movable member and the first port than the second sealing means; and second channel means, mounted in the passageway wall, for permitting flow between the second sealing means and the passageway wall when the movable member is in the open position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
352 words
A valve for permitting flow of a fluid therethrough when actuated by a cannula, and otherwise preventing flow of fluid therethrough, the valve comprising: a fluid passageway bounded by a wall and having first and second ports, the first port adapted to receive a cannula; a movable member having first and second ends and a perimeter surface, the movable member being disposed in the fluid passageway, and being displaceable, in a direction parallel to overall fluid flow through the valve, to an open position, wherein fluid may pass through the valve, and to a closed position, wherein fluid is prevented from passing through the valve, such that when the movable member is in the closed position it is closer to the first port than when it is in the open position, and such that the movable member may be moved from the closed position to the open position by a cannula inserted through the first port; biasing means for urging the movable member away from the open position towards the closed position; first sealing means, located between the movable member and the passageway wall, for preventing flow between the passageway wall and the perimeter surface of the movable member when the movable member is in the closed position; and first channel means for permitting flow between the first sealing means and the passageway wall when the movable member is in its opened position; wherein the first sealing means is mounted on the perimeter surface of the movable member, and the first channel means is mounted in the passageway wall; and further including second sealing means, mounted on the perimeter surface of the movable member, for preventing flow between the passageway wall and the perimeter surface of the movable member when the movable member is in the closed position, the first sealing means being mounted closer to the first end of the movable member and the first port than the second sealing means; and second channel means, mounted in the passageway wall, for permitting flow between the second sealing means and the passageway wall when the movable member is in the open position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A valve according to claim 1, wherein the second port is in fluid communication with an intravenous line.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
A valve according to claim 1, wherein the passageway is wider between first and second channel means than at the first channel means, so as to permit the second sealing means to move between the first and second channels, but not past the first channel means.
