ABSTRACT:
A quick connect/disconnect coupling for hydraulic or pneumatic conduits has a male half (4) and a female half (2) each of said halves having fluid bores therethrough. Split ring segments 7 are arranged in ring within the female coupling half and are movable therein. The ring segments are biased towards the centerline of the coupling by an elastic o-ring (9). When the coupling halves are engaged, the ring segments are positioned between a radially extending shoulder (6) on the male coupling half and a radially extending shoulder (21) on the female coupling half. In the engaged and locked position of the coupling halves, the ring segments in blocking relation with the shoulders holds the coupling halves together. The ring segments are in abutting relation with adjacent ring segments on either side when the coupling halves are in the engaged in locked position. The male coupling half includes a tubular releasing member (10) slidably mounted thereon. When the releasing member is moved in the direction of the female coupling half a tapered surface (18) of the releasing member moves the ring segments radially outward above the shoulder on the male coupling half and enables the coupling halves to be disconnected.
