Abstract:
The present device is a connector device designed to connect two tubes or containers so as to allow the transfer of fluids from one tube or container to the other. The connector device includes a tubular member made from an elastic material, with the tubular member having an inner wall that includes longitudinal slits. The tubular member can be made from one individual tube or a pair of joined flanged tubes. The flanged tubular members are joined at the flange positions and held together by a collar member. Furthermore, a plurality of individual tubular members can be placed in a rectangular frame member so that the tubular members are perpendicular and integral to the frame member.
