Abstract: This female element of a quick connector that connects to a male element and has a hollow body, which extends along an insertion axis and which delimits a receiving volume for the male element. Radial openings, formed in the body along a radial axis, open into the receiving volume. Each radial opening receives a latch, translatable in relation to the body along the corresponding radial axis, between a locked and an unlocked position. The female element has an actuating ring arranged about the body and translatable between a locked and an unlocked position. The ring has guide grooves, which interact with pins of each latch. The guide grooves associated with each latch are geometrically carried by a guide plane inclined in relation to the insertion axis so that each latch is driven between its locked and unlocked positions when the actuating ring is moved between its locked and unlocked positions.

Abstract: A quick coupler for joining two pipes that includes a male element adapted to be fitted into a female element and maintained in position by a latch forming a stop and opposing withdrawal of the male element. A movable safety member maintains the latch in a blocked position, under the force of pressure of fluid in the coupler, by the cooperation of two surfaces provided, one on the latch and one on the safety member, that are forced into engagement with one another. The safety member releases the latch when a residual pressure in the coupler drops to a safe level.
