Title:
QUICK CONNECT/DISCONNECT COUPLING, TOGETHER WITH METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ITS ASSEMBLY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1996035906
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A quick connect/disconnect coupling between a female connector and a male connector which is insertable into said female connector, e.g. for connecting a high pressure line to a valve block. The female connector (10) comprises a cylindric space (13) for the cylindrical part (14) of the male connector, the envelope surface of said space being provided with at least one groove (18) for accommodation of resiliently out of and into the cylindrical space movable blocking elements (20). A substantially annular flange (19) is coaxially provided at the outward side of the groove (18) of the female connector, substantially in line with the envelope surface of said space. The blocking means (20) comprise at least three in said groove (18) located metal arc segments, each being biased by an elastic element (21) into an inclined position relative to the symmetrical longitudinal axis of the female connector, said inclined position being the blocking position. In this position, the segments together form a truncated cone, the wide base of which is supported by the outward side of the groove (18), on the radial outside of the flange (19).
