Abstract: A coupling device for a tube, the device comprising a body provided with a bore for receiving the end of said tube, and means for retaining the tube in the bore, which means are constituted by an elastically deformable washer that is substantially frustoconical in shape whose inside circumference is of a diameter smaller than the outside diameter of the tube and which is subdivided into a plurality of teeth, the outside portion of the washer being disposed in a groove formed in the bore. Each tooth possesses a short root portion which, at rest, extends in a radial plane, and an active portion that is inclined relative to the radial plane of the root, and each tooth is connected to the teeth adjacent thereto via small section peripheral link portions of length not less than the length of each tooth.

Abstract: A gasket for a claw or clamp quick-connection coupling, the gasket being constituted by a circularly symmetrical annular body defined by two parallel radial faces, an outer cylindrical surface surmounted by a partially toroidal bulge centered on the midplane of the gasket parallel to the radial faces, a partially toroidal inner surface also centered on the midplane, and connected to each of the radial faces via a respective chamfer-forming conical surface.
