Abstract
The invention relates to a connector () constituted by: base provided with a tubular wall () closed by a bottom wall () provided with at least one through-opening (); a membrane provided with a flexible wall () having a central opening, a tubing () placed in the opening of the flexible wall; sealing means for preventing a liquid from leaving the connector through the tubing. The base and the membrane are fixed to each other in a liquid-tight manner. The flexible wall allows axial displacement of the tubing so that it can be moved between a closed position, in which a liquid cannot leave the connector through the conduit of the tubing, and an open position, in which a liquid from can leave the connector through the tubing. Retaining means () maintain the tubing () closed with a force that can be overcome manually to open it.
