In connector (10), adapted for fitting to a container for dispensing fluid therefrom, valve member (22) is resiliently urged towards valve seat (16) by integral resilient biassing means (21) to prevent fluid flow from the container via outflow passage (17), but has an integral actuator portion (23) projecting through the seat whereby it can be pushed back against the biassing means to permit fluid flow. A stop member (20) to limit the displacement of valve member (22) is also integrally formed as part of the valve structure (18). A second connector (30), which can be attached thereto in fluid tight manner, has a respective valve structure (30) including a portion (39) projecting through its valve seat (35) to contact and displace the aforesaid actuator (23) such that the respective valve members (22, 37) are mutually lifted from their seats and flow through the coupled arrangement is reliably achieved. |
