ABSTRACT:
A coupling device is provided for rapidly joining fluid-carrying conduits in either straight line or angled alignment. The device utilizes a male portion and a female portion which interengage at mating spherically contoured surfaces. A circular resilient gasket such as an O-ring is embedded in one of the mating surfaces. A rotatable lock ring is disposed upon one of the portions and is adapted to engage interactive locking projections associated with the other portion.
