Segmented poppets and a sliding bell divert fuel flow to prevent overfilling, reducing required ullage volume.
A mechanical locking mechanism secures the female valve assembly in the open position using a spring-loaded ball and groove system.
A fluid coupling device uses radial locking tabs and elastomeric sealing material to engage male barbed fittings.
An angled toothed ring housed in a sliding groove allows demountable connections without spontaneous disconnection.
Segmented annular sectors and radial control pins maintain hermetic sealing under high pressure while ensuring easy operation.
