Abstract: A bayonet catch for a line of pressurized medium, comprising a tubular body (10), a lever (1) journalled pivotably to the body for turning a valve means (12), as well as coupling elements (4, 9) at the forward end of said body for disconnectable coupling of a connecting plug (11), said coupling elements comprising a push-pull sleeve surrounding the forward end of the body. A problem with pneumatic line bayonet catches is that, when a catch is opened, the outlet side pressure strikes at great force out of a releasing plug with a consequence that the disconnected line end may get out of hand and cause damage.
