Fluid coupling

摘要

A fluid coupling includes a socket and a plug and is used to connect two fluid hoses, whereby the plug has a neck that can be inserted into the socket with an annular groove for engaging with a locking element. The locking element includes a push-button that can be activated in a radial manner from the exterior of the socket and from which two flexible fork arms protrude that engage into a hub of the socket and have diagonal ramp surfaces on the two opposing inner faces of the fork arms, whereby the diagonal ramp surfaces engage around the neck in the area of the annular groove around a part of the circumference of the neck. The annular groove is delimited by two opposing and diverging diagonal surfaces.
