20080265574 | Quick Coupling for Joining Together Two Pipes for Conveying a Gas Under Pressure - The coupling comprises a male plug ( | 10-30-2008 |
20090085348 | Quick connection and method for uncoupling the male and female elements of such a connection - This connection comprises two elements, male and female, adapted to fit axially in each other, the body of the female element being equipped with a lock mounted to slide and pierced with at least one opening for the fit of the male element. The wall of this opening is equipped with at least one element in relief adapted to cooperate with a corresponding element in relief of the male element in order to retain these elements in fitted configuration. The lock is in two parts and comprises a first part on which may be exerted, from outside the body, an effort of displacement, as well as a second part mobile with respect to the first part and bearing the aforementioned element in relief. A safety member is adapted to block the first part against the effort of displacement, without preventing the displacement of the element in relief with respect to the first part of the connection. The male and female elements may be uncoupled by exerting an additional effort of fit, then by exerting an effort of penetration of a part of the lock in the body and by withdrawing the male element from the female element. | 04-02-2009 |
20090194722 | Female coupling element and a quick coupling including such an element - This female element, for a quick coupling for releasably joining together two pipes conveying a fluid under pressure, is suitable for receiving a male portion engaged along a longitudinal axis. The female element includes a latch movable relative to a body of the female element between a first position, in which it is suitable for retaining the male portion in a leaktight coupling position, and a second position, in which it is suitable for retaining the male portion in a position for purging the downstream pipe. The female element further comprises a control member for causing the latch to move at least towards the second position, this member being mounted to slide in an open bore in the body. According to the invention, the female element includes a gasket suitable for closing a gap defined between an outer face of the member and an inside face of the bore. | 08-06-2009 |
20090273183 | Safety Quick-Connect Coupling for Assembling two Pipes - The invention concerns a coupling comprising a male element ( | 11-05-2009 |
20140264118 | Female Quick-Connect Coupling Element, and a Quick-Connect Coupling Incorporating Such an Element - This female quick-coupling element for a quick-connect coupling is able to cooperate with a male coupling element. A control ring is able to move in translation along a longitudinal axis between a first position and a second position. A blocking member prevents translation of the control ring as far as its second position. An element for the elastic return of a piston, integral in transverse movement with the blocking member, to its internal position is mounted in a housing of the first coupling element situated outside the housing of the piston, and fluidically isolated from the fluid-flow conduit. The first coupling element comprises transmission means, disposed between the return element and the piston, to return the piston to its internal position. | 09-18-2014 |
