Patent

CA 2428875

The invention relates to a safety coupling (2) for a flexible line, designed as a tubular, two-part flange joing with a first coulding half (4) with straight flange (10) and a second couldong half (6) with conical flange (11). The coupling halves are joined together via the flanges by means of a resilient locking ring (8) which has a shape with coupling members (20, 22) matching the flange parts of the coupling members (20, 22) matchign the flange parts of the coupling halves. The locking ring (8) has segments (12) which are movable relative to one antoher and which, by means of a spring arrangemnt (32), are resilientyl prestressed 8f9 to a first position in which the coupling members (20, 22) straddle the flanges (10, 11). The flanges are separable by means of the fact that the segments (12) of the locking ring can be displaced by a wedge effect counter to the prestressing force (f) to a second position in which the surrounding internal diameter (di) of the locking ring (8) corresponds to the external diameter (dy) of the conical flange and the coupling (2) divides.

L'invention concerne un couplage de sécurité (2) pour une ligne souple, conçu comme un joint de bride tubulaire en deux parties. Ce joint possède une première section de couplage (6) dotée d'une bride droite (10) et une seconde section de couplage (6) pourvue d'une bride conique (11). Les sections de couplage sont réunies par les brides au moyen d'un anneau de verrouillage souple (8) qui se présente sous forme de membres de couplage (20, 22) correspondant aux parties de bride des sections de couplage. L'anneau de verrouillage (8) possède des segments (12) qui peuvent se déplacer l'un par rapport à l'autre au moyen d'un assemblage de ressort (32). Les segments sont préalablement mis sous tension (f) de manière résiliente dans une première position dans laquelle les membres de couplage (20, 22) écartent les brides (10, 11). Ces brides peuvent se séparer grâce au fait que les segments (12) de l'anneau de verrouillage peuvent se déplacer par un contre-effet de bord par rapport à la force de mise sous tension préalable (f) vers une seconde position dans laquelle le diamètre interne autour (di) de l'anneau de verrouillage (8) correspond au diamètre externe (dy) de la bride conique et aux divisions du couplage (2).
