IPC: F16L37/23
Filed: 2000-03-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a coupling part (1) for a fluid coupling device, especially a hose coupling, which has a locking device that can be switched between two positions. The locking device comprises a plurality of locking elements (5) mounted on a base body (2) of the coupling part, and comprises a socket-shaped actuating element (4) that interacts with said locking element s. The coupling part (1) can be switched between a retaining position and a releasing position by means of an axial releasing movement of the actuating element (4). In the retaining position, the locking elements (5) hold the corresponding counterpart of the coupling, e.g. a hose stem, in a manner whi ch prevents it from being pulled out and, in the releasing position, the lockin g elements release the same in order to disengage the coupling. According to t he invention, the actuating element can be moved from the retaining position an d into a locking position, in which a releasing movement is prohibited, preferably by rotating the actuating element in a limited manner around the longitudinal axis of the coupling. As a result, the coupling is prevented, i n a simple manner, from being unintentionally disengaged.
