Abstract:
1. A docking device for refilling, filling, and/or emptying of containers, comprising: first and second coupling latches that can be laid or which lie flush with each other along respective latch sides, wherein each of the first and second coupling latches includes a pipe nozzle; and at least one locking unit configured for locking together the pipe nozzles of the first and second coupling latches, wherein the at least one locking unit includes: wherein the passage opens out to the outer side of the second coupling latch and into the cylinder and is of a length that is less than a diameter of the first arresting element, so that when a side surface of the first section of the bolt is in contact with the movable first arresting element, the movable first arresting element interacts with the corresponding second arresting element on the outer side of the pipe nozzle of the second coupling latch and locks the first and second coupling latches together, and when the movable first arresting element is adjacent to a side surface of the second or third section of the bolt, the pipe nozzles of the first and second coupling latches are no longer lockable or are not locked against each other.
