ABSTRACT:
An improved structure of quick coupling comprises mainly a main connecting body, press rods, stoppers and flange press portions. Each of two lateral sides of the main connecting body is extended to form a pair of flanges, which is provided with circular holes. A traverse pin is used to penetrate these two flanges and the press rod to fix the press rod at the main connecting body. When another connector is jointed to the improved quick coupling, the press rods are in parallel with the main body and meanwhile, an arc head at front end of the press rod is fastened to another connector for consolidating the combination, and the stopper in a reception cavity at front end of the press rod will insert in a circular hole that accommodating the flange press portion to ensure the press rod will not bounce up owing to pressure of flowing liquid in pipe or external vibration. When detachment of the connectors is desired, the flange press portion must be pressed firstly, so that the press rods can be pulled up to separate the jointed connectors.
