Patent number: 11149891Abstract: The invention relates to a quick coupling, made up of a male element and a female element. The male element includes a cylindrical male body, defining a longitudinal cavity, a distal mouth, and a valve movable axially inside the cavity between a forward position in which the valve closes off the mouth and a withdrawn position in which the valve does not close off the mouth. The female element includes a cylindrical female body, defining a longitudinal cavity and a distal mouth, a push-piece, and a slide valve. The male body or the push-piece delimits a fluid passage channel connecting an inside of the cavity to the distal mouth, and the passage channel, emerging inside the cavity of the male element or the female element, fits inside a circle, the diameter of which is respectively larger or smaller than that of the first and second sealing gaskets.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: STAUBLI FAVERGES FAVInventors: Alain-Christophe Tiberghien, Christophe Durieux, Serafim Marques-Barroca, Olivier Pastore, Olivier Poly, Igor Bahno, Romain Mayer

Patent number: 11060649Abstract: The invention relates to a quick coupling for the detachable connection of two pipes through which a pressurized fluid flows, the quick coupling made up of a male element and a female element. The male element includes a male cylindrical body defining a cavity, a valve movable axially within the cavity, and a first sealing gasket. The female element includes a female cylindrical body defining a cavity, a slide valve movable axially within the cavity, a second sealing gasket, and a peripheral groove that houses either the first or second sealing gasket. A proximal or distal edge of the peripheral groove extends between two planes that are perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the male or female element, respectively between a proximal plane and a distal plane, which are offset relative to one another along the longitudinal axis.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: STAUBLI FAVERGESInventors: Alain-Christophe Tiberghien, Christophe Durieux, Igor Bahno, Olivier Pastore, Olivier Poly, Serafim Marques-Barroca, Romain Mayer

Publication number: 20160169430Abstract: The quick-acting coupling for the disconnectable connection of two pipelines (C1, C2) comprises a female element (A) equipped with: a locking device (6) slidingly mounted in a body (1) of the female element (A) and equipped with a first retaining means. The locking device (6) is movable between: a first position in which the first retaining means can cooperate with a corresponding second retaining means (102) of a male part (B), a second position in which the locking device allows the male part (B) to release itself from the female element (A), a safety device able to keep the locking device (6) in its first position when the male part (B) is in the configuration fitted in the female element (A). When the locking device is in its first position, an action on the safety device releases the locking device from its first position.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2014Publication date: June 16, 2016Inventors: Alain-Christophe TIBERGHIEN, Christophe DURIEUX, Igor BAHNO
