Patent ID: 7878216

Claim:
A female fluid coupling connection part for receiving a male fluid coupling connection part and comprising a female element and a body defining a receiving zone for receiving the female element and means for radially adjusting an alignment of the female element in the receiving zone of the body, the female element including: a passage having a reduced section defining an opening into the first passage, the passage housing a movable valve and an elastic member for urging the valve towards a position for blocking the opening; a cylindrical bore for receiving a male element of the male fluid coupling connection part and wherein the male element includes a valve; a chamber extending axially between the passage and the cylindrical bore and defining a cylindrical guiding surface; and an actuating member for actuating the valves of the male and female elements slidably mounted in the chamber and including a support extending radially from an axis of the cylindrical guiding surface to the cylindrical guiding surface, the actuating member further including two rods extending along an axis of the chamber on either side of the support, one of these rods being capable of penetrating into the passage so as to open the valve of the female element; the body including a tapped bore in a distal portion of the receiving zone; the means for radially adjusting the alignment of the female element including a nut threadingly adjustable within the tapped bore, the nut being rotationally mobile around the female element between distal and proximal axial stops of the female element, and a ring screwed onto the female element, the ring including a distal surface being engagable with a proximal surface of the nut in such a manner as to permit articulation of the female element relative to the nut to thereby facilitate relative alignment of a male element when being inserted into the female element.
