Fluid line connector

A fluid line connector 1 comprising a first part 2 and a second part 3 which are releasably connectable together. The first part comprises an outlet 4 controlled by a first stop valve 5 moveable between a closed position (fig.2) and an open position (fig.1), in which a first spring means (6, Fig.1) biases the first stop valve into said closed position. The first stop valve comprises a first operative surface 7 proud of said outlet, depression of which moves said first stop valve into said open position. The second part comprises an inlet 8 controlled by a second stop valve 9 moveable between a closed position (fig.2) and an open position (fig.1), in which a second spring means 10 biases the second stop valve into said closed position. The second stop valve comprises a second operative surface 11 proud of said inlet, depression of which moves said second stop valve into said open position. The first part and the second part comprise first 14 and second 13 portions respectively of a releasable connection means, the engagement of which forces both operative surfaces to act against each other such that they move to said open positions.
