ABSTRACT:
A multiple coupling with plate-shaped coupling halves in which the fluid-conducting spigot and hub parts of the individual couplings are fastened. The coupling halves are held pin-centered with respect to each other and detachably to each other in coupling position by a locking-ball interlock such that a plug projection of one coupling half enters into a socket opening of the other coupling half. The plug projection is held in the socket opening by locking balls which can be released by displacement of an interlock sleeve into the open position. The plug projection which is arranged approximately concentrically to the one coupling half is provided at its end with a grip of smaller cross section for a pull member developed preferably in the form of a rope, which passes through the socket opening. The furthest protruding part of the coupling half to be brought into position, namely the plug projection is pulled in essentially in a self-centering manner into the socket opening which forms a guide eye, of the stationary coupling half.
