ABSTRACT:
A fluid coupling includes a first member for supplying fluid, a second member for receiving the fluid supplied by said first member, and a securing device for securing the first member in fluid communication with the second member. The securing device includes a locking element movable between a first position at which the first and second members can be separated and a second position at which the first member is secured to the second member. An actuator is provided for moving the locking element between the first and second positions. The actuator includes a main body secured to the first member and an actuator arm movably connected to the main body for manipulating the locking element. A guiding surface is provided on the actuator body for guiding the locking element between the first and second positions.
