A quick connect coupling (20) having a self-contained releasable collet (64) generally comprising a housing (22) having an axial bore (34) extending inwardly from an entrance. The axial bore (34) includes a large diameter portion (38) adjacent the entrance. A tube (24) having a bead (26) of relatively large diameter is insertable into the bore. A generally annular radially expandable collet (64) disposed within the bore of the housing (22) expands upon insertion of the tube (24) into the housing and contracts onto tube (24) between the bead (26) and the housing (22), thereby retaining the tube (24) within the housing. The tube (24) is selectively releasable from the housing by means of an annular pilot (50) disposed within the housing (22) having an inclined surface (38) complementary to an inclined surface (72) on the collet (64). Release members (76) are provided to facilitate axial inward movement of the collet (64) into the housing (22). The collet (64) then rides up the inclined surface (58) of the pilot (50), thereby radially expanding the collet (64) and releasing the tube (24) from the housing (22).

Cette invention porte sur un raccord instantané (20) à bague de retenue libérable autonome (64), comprenant essentiellement un logement (22) qui présente un alésage axial (34) s'étendant vers l'intérieur à partir de l'orifice d'entrée. Un tube (24) à collerette (26) d'assez fort diamètre (64) peut être introduit dans l'alésage. Une bague (64) essentiellement annulaire, expansible dans la direction radiale, placée à l'intérieur de l'alésage du logement (22) s'élargit quand on introduit le tube (24) dans le logement et se contracte sur lui (24) entre la collerette (26) et le logement (22), retenant ainsi le tube (24) dans le logement. Le tube (24) peut éventuellement être retiré du logement au moyen d'un système de guidage annulaire (50) placé à l'intérieur du logement (22), qui présente une surface inclinée (38) complémentaire à une autre surface inclinée placée, elle, sur la bague (64). Des éléments de désengagement (76) permettent de faciliter le mouvement axial vers l'intérieur de la bague qui s'enfonce dans le logement (22). La bague (64) glisse ensuite le long de la surface inclinée (58) du système de guidage (50), s'élargissant ainsi dans la direction radiale et dégageant le tube (24) du logement (22).
