1. A multiple-conduit connector comprising:
a first coupling part comprising a plurality of first connectors, wherein each of said plurality of first connectors comprises a corresponding conduit passage; a second coupling part comprising a main body and a disk that is rotatable relative to said main body, wherein said disk comprises a plurality of second connectors to pair with said plurality of first connectors, wherein each of said plurality of second connectors comprises a corresponding conduit passage, wherein each conduit passage of said second coupling part is associated with a corresponding conduit passage of said first coupling part when said first coupling part and said second coupling part are detachably connected together; a guide projection located on a primary one of said first coupling part and said disk at a position separate from any conduit passage; a guide recess to receive said guide projection and disposed at a corresponding location in a secondary one of said first coupling part and second coupling part, wherein insertion of said guide projection in said guide recess promotes alignment of said each conduit passage of said second coupling part with said corresponding conduit passage of said first coupling part, the guide projection being a fixed member; a securing means which locks said first coupling part together with said second coupling part when said first coupling part including said plurality of first connectors and said disk including said plurality of second connectors are axially rotated relative to said main body in a first direction about an axis parallel with the plurality of first and second connectors, wherein corresponding ones of said plurality of first connectors and said plurality of second connectors are interconnected so as to provide a corresponding plurality of flow paths through said first coupling part and said second coupling part, and said securing means allows for separation of said first coupling part and said second coupling part when said first coupling part including said plurality of first connectors and said disk including said plurality of second connectors are axially rotated in a second direction about the axis, wherein said securing means comprises a first member extending radially outward from one of said first coupling part and said main body, and a second member extending longitudinally from one of said first coupling part and said main body, wherein said second member comprises a slot disposed perpendicular to the longitudinal orientation of said second member, wherein said slot receives said first member when said first coupling part is axially rotated relative to said main body in the first direction. |
