Title:
SECURE TUBE COUPLING WITH AUTOMATIC CONNECTION
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017096494
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a secure tube coupling with automatic connection.SOLUTION: A tube coupling (1) includes a female connector (2) with a body (3) into which a male connector (6) having an annular collar (7) is inserted axially, and a connection element (10) that extends in a transverse direction within the body (3) of the female connector (2). The connection element (10) is designed to interfere mechanically with the collar (7) during insertion of the male connector (6) and to move transversely of its own accord towards the inside of the female connector (2). The connection element (10) includes a locking hook (16) that co-operates with a locking catch (12) provided in the female connector (2), and the hook (16) passes through the catch (12) as a result of the mechanical interference of the collar (7) that drives axial and radial elastic deformation of the connection element (10). The hook (16) locks against catch (12) when the connection element (10) is fully pushed into the female connector (2).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
