Abstract:
1. A quick coupling comprising: a base plate, and a support plate connectable to a mounting frame for the connection of pressure media feeds in a hydraulic system, wherein the mounting frame is movably guided at the base plate; connecting mechanism associated with the mounting frame for connecting the support plate thereto; and a resilient member positioned between the base plate and the mounting frame, wherein the support plate is moved toward the base plate against the biasing force of the resilient member by the mounting frame to close the coupling, wherein the support plate is movable toward the base plate by the rotation of an eccentric member, pivotally attached to the base plate, wherein the mounting frame includes front and rear mounting yokes and mounting struts connecting the front and rear mounting yokes, said mounting struts being disposed through corresponding cut-outs in the base plate, wherein a lever is attached to the eccentric member, wherein the eccentric member is rotatably supported on the base plate and rotatably contacts the rear mounting yoke of the mounting frame, and wherein the eccentric member presses against and rearwardly urges the rear mounting yoke in response to rotation of the eccentric member.
