ABSTRACT:
A fluid coupling for pressurized hydraulic systems permitting the interconnection of coupling parts even while both parts are pressurized. The coupling includes interconnectable parts employing self-sealing valves, and a manually operated lever axially translates an interlock to couple the parts. An expansible motor assists coupling, and a second expansible motor feature utilizes supply pressurized fluid to displace the valve of the supplied part although the same is under pressure during coupling. The coupling is of the "break-away" type wherein the parts uncouple under predetermined axial tension, and the self-sealing valves will not check under high flow rates.
