  • Patent number: 11149891
    Abstract: 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and a valve movable axially inside the cavity between a forward position in which the valve closes off the mouth and a withdrawn position in which the valve does not close off the mouth.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.

  • Patent number: 11060649
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10024472
    Abstract: A quick-acting coupling for the disconnectable connection of two pipelines (C1, C2) which has a female element (A) equipped with a locking device (6) slidingly mounted in a body (1) of the female element and equipped with a raised portion-and wherein the locking device is movable between a first position in which the raised portion cooperates with a flange (102) of a male part (B), and a second position in which the locking device allows the male part to release itself from the female element, and wherein a safety device retains the locking device in the first position when the male part is in the configuration fitted in the female element and wherein when the locking device is in the first position, a force on the safety device releases the locking device from the first position.

  • Patent number: 9863566
    Abstract: A coupling for the connection of pipelines and includes a coupling element and a complementary coupling element that can fit into one another wherein the coupling element includes a first body, a locking ring mounted around the first body, the first body being secured in translation with the locking ring, and wherein the locking ring includes a slot to receive a radially protruding part of the complementary element, a locking notch in which the protruding part can be axially locked and wherein a lever is radially rotatable in the slot and an elastic element urges the lever toward a locking position in which the lever locks the protruding part in the notch. The coupling also has a single sealing gasket mounted on an outer surface of the first body to cooperate with the complementary element.

  • Publication number: 20160169430
    Abstract: 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.
