An assembly 10 having a passive beta port 12 and an active alpha port 14, the passive and the active are complementarily shaped such that they can engage with one another. The passive beta port 12 has an annular flange 16 defining an annular opening to which is releasably securable a passive port door 18. Disposed at the distal end of the passive 12, at the opposite end to the annular flange 16 is an annular clamp 22 having two handles 24. Disposed between the annular ring 16 and the annular clamp 22 is the gaiter 26 of the protective member 28. The protective member has a cylindrical body (30, Fig 2) forming a funnel through which material may pass. Afree end (32) is sized so as to be capable of passing through the port formed between the alpha and beta ports 12, 14. |
