  • Publication number: 20230135793
    Abstract: The invention relates to a reversibly detachable fluid line coupling (1), at least having a coupling sleeve (2), a locking element (3) and a coupling plug (4) with a locking collar (41). The invention was based on the object of creating a fluid line coupling of the type described at the outset, the locking state of which can easily be checked automatically, with a visual check being preferred. This object is achieved in that the coupling has actuating/signaling surfaces (312) which are only visible when the coupling is in the unlocked state.

  • Publication number: 20230003323
    Abstract: A plug-in coupling for fluid lines, having a coupling sleeve (1) made of plastic, which has blocking openings (3), wherein the coupling sleeve (1) has, in the region of the blocking openings (3), at least one reinforcement (9) made of a metal material. The reinforcement (9) may have apertures (10) which correspond to the blocking openings (3) and through which a spring blocking element (5) can engage with pawls (7). As a result, it is possible to ensure that, even in the event of high contact pressures between the spring blocking element (5) and the coupling sleeve (1), separation of the blocking openings (3) can be ruled out.

  • Patent number: 10871253
    Abstract: A coupling fitting comprises a pipeline and a connector sleeve. The pipeline and connector sleeve are each separate parts and are fixedly and non-detachably connected to one another by a connecting ring which can be produced in situ by injection molding plastics material. The invention is also directed to a method for making the coupling fitting.
