ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a pipe coupling comprising two clamp halves of C-shaped cross-section connected at one end to pivot in relation to one another around at least one bolt, and a quick-action closure which is disposed at the diametrically opposite other ends of the clamp halves and which comprises a screw bolt, one end of which is articulated to one of the clamp halves and on whose other end a nut drawing the clamp halves into the closure position is placed, a lever lockable in the closure position being articulated to the nut. The characterizing feature of the invention is that the nut bears against a sliding member which is slipped over the screw bolt and which rests with opposite axial pins in corresponding shaped depressions in one clamp half, the lever being locked in the closure position by means of a bowed spring articulated to the other clamp half.
