ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a quick connect/disconnect coupling for tubular elements such as hoses and the like, which uses a plurality of articulated jaws, with a retainer and a retainer clip. In this invention, each of the jaws has an axial groove extending from its inner edge, and the retainer sleeve has pins which extend into the grooves of the jaws. The axial groove in each jaw has a stepped width, with a greater width at the inner edge of said jaw, thereby permitting a limited rotational movement of said ring between its rearward and forward positions. The retainer sleeve also has an inner annular groove adjacent its inner face which receives a retainer clip to secure the assembly.
