<p>A valve assemblage (10, 50) for controlling the flow between first and second containerized systems (C1, C2) having first and second openings (A, B), respectively. The assemblage comprises a first valve assembly (12, 52) positioned at the first opening of the first containerized system and a second valve assembly (14, 54) positioned at the second opening of the second containerized system. A piston (20, 84) in the first valve assembly, when in a first position opens an entrance port (18, 100) for receiving fluid from the first containerized system; and correspondingly, a retractable sleeve (36, 136) in the second valve assembly (14, 54) opens an entrance port (30, 122) in a proboscis member (26, 110) having a channel (28, 118) and outlet (32, 142, 144) to the second containerized system. <IMAGE></p> |
