  • Patent number: 10082234
    Abstract: A quick coupling engageable under pressure comprises a first longitudinal body longitudinally having an internal cavity open at the ends along which it is supported slidably in contrast to and by action of elastic means, a second longitudinal body longitudinally having an internal cavity open at the ends and equipped with an opening and closing valve to the flow of a fluid under pressure, the first body and the second body having locking means adapted to cooperate for locking the coupling in the engaged position, the coupling in use, in the disengaged position in which it is supplied with a fluid under pressure acting in closure on the valve, having surfaces wet by the fluid under pressure configured and arranged to eliminate the volume variation of fluid under pressure present within the coupling as the position assumed by the second body in the first body varies.
