ABSTRACT:
A coupling for lines carrying gas under pressure in which a tubularly shaped male member is adapted to be inserted into a bore of a sleeve-like female member containing a valve assembly automatically opened upon insertion of the tubularly shaped male member. The tubularly shaped male member which is provided with an annular groove is held in its inserted position by a locking mechanism in the sleeve-like female member which consists of a latching member, a ring-like member surrounding the sleeve-like female member and a spring between the latching member and the ring-like member. For purposes of releasing the locking action of the latching member which is operable to engage in the annular groove by movement in a milled-in recess, the ring-like member is provided with an inwardly projecting actuating element. To permit a reduction in the dimensions of the ring-like member, the latching member includes a short leg portion bent with respect to the main portion of the latching member at such angle as to point toward the actuating member.
