A coupling assembly having male and female coupling members that are connectable and separable from each other. The coupling assembly utilizes a resiliently expandable locking element, which is provided on the male coupling member, to connect the male and female coupling members together by trapping the locking element, in its expanded position, between respective locking surfaces of the male and female coupling members. A locking sleeve, which is movable between unlocked and locked positions, is employed to move the locking element to its expanded position. In this position, the locking element prevents the withdrawal of the male coupling member from the female coupling member by creating a positive lock therebetween. To maintain the locking sleeve in its locked position, a retainer can be used.
L'invention concerne un ensemble d'accouplement doté d'éléments d'accouplement mâle et femelle qui sont connectables et peuvent être séparés l'un de l'autre. L'ensemble d'accouplement utilise un élément de verrouillage élastiquement extensible qui est fourni sur l'élément d'accouplement mâle, pour connecter ensemble les éléments d'accouplement mâle et femelle en piégeant l'élément de verrouillage, dans sa position étendue, entre des surfaces de verrouillage des éléments d'accouplement mâle et femelle. Un manchon de verrouillage qui peut se déplacer d'une position déverrouillée à une position verrouillée sert à déplacer l'élément de verrouillage vers sa position étendue. Dans cette position, l'élément de verrouillage empêche le retrait de l'élément d'accouplement mâle de l'élément d'accouplement femelle en créant un verrouillage positif entre eux. Il est possible d'utiliser un dispositif de retenue pour maintenir le manchon de verrouillage dans sa position verrouillée.
