<p>A connector (1) for line couplings of a fluid powered system has a supply mounting support (2) carrying a number of supply couplings (3) and a take-off mounting support (4) carrying a number of take-off couplings (5). A ram (7) is mounted on the supply mounting support (2) and comprises a cylinder (15) housing a double acting piston (16) with a con-rod (22) extending outwardly therefrom. A male catch member (6) is fixed at an outer end of the con-rod (22) for releasable engagement in a socket (8) forming a receiver in the take-off mounting support (4). The ram (7) is operable by fluid supplied from a supply line of the fluid system to engage the male member (6) in the socket (8) to draw the mounting supports (2, 4) together to engage the take-off couplings (5) with the supply couplings (3).</p> |
