  • Patent number: 11767942
    Abstract: A male element (10) for a fluid connection with a male body (12) including a tubular extension (20) and a crown (22) fixed around the tubular extension and having at least one radial recess opening onto an inner face (44) and onto an outer face of the crown (22). The male element comprises an integral ring (16) mounted around the crown, and for each radial recess, a locking element (14), movable between an inner position and an outer position, the outward movement of which is limited by the ring. Each radial recess is delimited by an inner wall (52) forming part of the crown and extending around a radial central axis of the radial recess. The ring has at least one longitudinal slot, which passes radially through the ring, and comprises a resiliently deformable end portion (112) with at least one inner tooth which is engaged in an outer groove, recessed in the crown.

  • Patent number: 10190713
    Abstract: A quick coupling element with discharge member and coupling member comprising such an element are disclosed. The coupling element comprises a tubular body defining an inner channel for the passage of a pressurized fluid and a longitudinal axis, and a relief member of the inner channel, movable between a first position, closing off a relief passage connecting the inner channel to the outside of the body, and a second forward position where it does not close off this relief passage. The relief member is a ring that is that is movable between two positions around a central member. The relief ring defines, at least in part, the relief passage. In the first position, the relief ring seals the central member over a first sealing circumference, and against the peripheral part over a second sealing circumference.
