| 20130032234 | Quick Connect Coupling With Nested Ball Valves - A quick connect coupling includes female and male assemblies. The female and male assemblies include first and second valves, respectively, operable between open and closed positions. The male assembly connects to the female assembly by axial movement and relative rotation, wherein the male assembly disconnects from the female assembly by relative rotation and axial separation, wherein relative rotation of the assemblies moves the second valve between the open and closed positions. Moving the second valve from the closed to the open position allows the first valve to be movable from the closed position to the open position and moving the first valve from the closed to the open position limits relative rotation between the assemblies and prevents disconnection. Disconnection can only occur when the first valve has been moved to the closed position. Disconnection moves the second valve from the open to the closed position. | 02-07-2013 |
| 20120180891 | MALE JOINT MEMBER FOR PIPE JOINT - A male coupling member is configured such that, even if a front end surface of a valve member is hit with a hammer, the valve member cannot bite into an opening surface of a coupling body.

The front end portion has a circular front end surface, a front end annular surface having a smaller diameter than an opening surface of the coupling body, and a reduced-diameter surface having a smaller diameter than the front end annular surface. The reduced-diameter surface is configured such that when the valve member is tilted and, consequently, the reduced-diameter surface engages a rear end edge of the opening surface, the length b from the point of engagement between the reduced-diameter surface and the rear end edge to the outer peripheral edge of the front end surface of the valve member through the axis of the valve member is not larger than the diameter a of the front end surface. | 07-19-2012 |
