  • Patent number: 6983958
    Abstract: A supply connection device for a fluid pressure system, the connection includes a head designed to be axially received in a body of a supply intake, and the connection is capable of being locked in a front position axially engaged in the supply intake body by a locking mechanism, which includes a globally symmetrical U-shaped pin with two transverse locking branches. The connection is unlocked from the body, for axially releasing, at least partly, rearward the connection outside the body, by elastic deformation of the locking mechanism which results from the co-operation between at least a part of the locking branches and at least a part of the body under the action of a releasing force exerted on the locking mechanism along a transverse direction. The elastic deformation is obtained by exerting a releasing force thrusting a connecting section of the two braches of the pin.

  • Publication number: 20030052484
    Abstract: The invention concerns a supply connection device (10) for a fluid pressure system, wherein a connection (30) comprises a head (35) designed to be axially received in a body (11) of a supply intake (12), and wherein the connection (30) is capable of being locked in front position axially engaged in the supply intake body (11) by locking means (60), which consist of a globally symmetrical U-shaped pin with two transverse locking branches (62), the connection (30) being unlocked from the body (11), for axially releasing, at least partly, rearward the connection (30) outside the body (11), by elastic deformation of the locking means (60) which results from the co-operation between at least a part (66) of the locking branches (62) and at least a part (17) of the body (11) under the action of a releasing force exerted on the locking means (60) along a transverse direction (T1), the elastic deformation is obtained by exerting a releasing force by thrusting on a connecting section (61) of the two branches (62) of th
