Services connections for work stations within containment cells.

摘要

A workstation within a containment cell is provided with a services-supply module or unit (18) by means of which a range of services such as electrical power, hydraulics, pneumatics etc are made available for in-cell use. The services are provided by means of a number of replaceable and exchangeable services-connection cartridges (28) which sealingly engage in the unit and provide continuity between out-of-cell supply lines (52, 54) connectible to adaptors (42) and in-cell supply lines connectible to adaptors (40). The cartridges (28) are replaceable without breaking cell containment conditions with the aid of a tool (72) by which a replacement cartridge is fed forwardly to displace in nose to tail relationship the cartridge to be replaced.
