Summary:To provide a universal fluid system connector.SOLUTION: A universal fluid system connector creates an airtight seal between a variety of smoke evacuation system receptacles and various hoses. The universal connector includes a body and a seal having a plurality of radially extending flexible fins. The fins on the seal are disposed along the length of the body with the outer edges of the fins forming a frustoconical shape. The fins also include one or more flexion zones of various stiffness, and one or more flexible fin extensions. The fins deform against the inner wall of a receptacle and form an airtight friction fit between the universal connector and the receptacle, regardless of the taper angle, size, threads or other features of the receptacle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】自在流体システムコネクタを提供すること。【解決手段】自在流体システムコネクタは、多様な排煙システムレセプタクルと様々なホースとの間に気密シールを作り出す。自在コネクタは、本体部と、複数の半径方向に延在する可撓性フィンを有するシールと、を含む。シール上の複数のフィンは、本体部の長さに沿って配設されており、フィンの外縁は、円錐台形状を形成している。フィンはまた、様々な剛性の１つ又は２つ以上の屈曲ゾーンと、１つ又は２つ以上の可撓性フィン延在部と、を含む。フィンは、レセプタクルの内壁に対して変形し、レセプタクルのテーパ角、サイズ、ねじ山、又は他の特徴にかかわらず、自在コネクタとレセプタクルとの間に気密な摩擦嵌合を形成する。【選択図】図２
