ABSTRACT:
A handle, for the female half of a quick-action coupling of the type including a body having a first end adapted to receive a hose and a second end adapted to receive the male half of the coupling, a grasping means coupled to the body for releasably grasping the male half of the coupling when inserted into the second end of the body, and a spring-biased slide member coupled to the body and co-acting with the grasping means for causing a locking engagement between the male and female halves. The handle comprises a housing having an interior opening in a first end thereof dimensioned so as to receive the female half of the coupling therein in a loose-fit sliding manner. The housing has a first interior annular portion remote from the first end for engaging the body of the female half of the coupling so as to push the female half of the coupling towards a corresponding male half of the coupling, without impeding movement of the slide member relative to the body, and a second interior annular portion for engaging the slide member so as to slide the slide member within the interior opening relative to the body when the user pulls the housing away from the male half of the coupling.
