CABLE COUPLING

摘要

Cable coupling assemblies are described which can be readily engaged and separated from one another. The couplings are particularly useful for use in torque transmitting cables such as those used in drain cleaning applications.

主权项

1. A drain cleaning cable coupling assembly comprising:
a male coupling including a pair of engagement prongs, the engagement prongs spaced apart from one another and defining a docking region therebetween; a female coupling having a circumferential wall defining a pair of receiving regions sized and shaped to fittingly engage the pair of engagement prongs of the male coupling, the female coupling also defining an outer end face, the circumferential wall defining a generally hollow interior chamber accessible via the end face and the pair of receiving regions; a plunger movably disposed within the interior chamber of the female coupling, the plunger linearly displaceable between a retracted position and an extended position, the plunger including at least one radially extending ridge that extends around the circumference of the plunger.
