| Abstract: |
A gas outlet system that includes a first indexing structure mating with a first adaptor for releasably connecting the first adaptor to the outlet, and a second indexing structure mating with a second adaptor for releasably connecting the second adaptor to the outlet. The gas outlet system includes an engaging member for engaging the adaptor to the outlet and includes first and second urging members each independently operable to disengage the engaging member to release the adaptor.

What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. A medical gas outlet system for delivering a medical gas from a supply of the gas according to at least two different non-redundant keying schemes, wherein the first non-redundant keying scheme has a plurality of first adapter types keyed to corresponding specific gas types, each of the first adapters including a valve nose through which the medical gas is received, and including a first gas-specific type of keying structure unique to a corresponding specific gas, and wherein the second non-redundant keying scheme has a plurality of second adapter types keyed to corresponding specific gas types, each of the second adapters including a valve nose through which the medical gas is received, and including a second gas-specific type of keying structure unique to a corresponding specific gas and different from the first type of gas-specific keying structure, said outlet system comprising:
- a valve aperture sized to accept the valve nose of the first or second adapters and to guide the nose into engagement with a gas valve, said valve aperture being opened by engaging with the nose;
- a first gas-specific outlet-indexing structure to mate with the first gas-specific adapter keying structure to permit the nose of the plurality of adapters of the first non-redundant keying scheme of the corresponding gas to be inserted into said valve aperture;
- a second gas-specific outlet-indexing structure to mate with the second gas-specific adapter keying structure to permit the nose of the plurality of adapters of the second non-redundant keying scheme to be inserted into said valve aperture; and
- a seal positioned to inhibit the medical gas from leaking when the gas flows from the gas supply to the nose of the first or second adapter types.
