<p>A female coupling-half has two pawls (7) each with a distal detent (8), to engage the nipple (3) circumferential groove, and a proximal rounded detent (15), which can lodge in either a rest closed position (16) for a closed valve (2) or a valve-open position (17). The inserted nipple (3) moves the valve (2) which brings with it the pawls (7) via central projections (13) thereon and the manual sleeve (10) until the proximal rounded detent (15) lodges in its valve- open position (17). Retraction of the sleeve (10) for release holds the nipple (3) in an intermediate pressure relief position until ejection pressure is no longer exerted on the nipple (3) and the sleeve (10) is allowed to spring out to its fully extended position completely releasing the nipple (3).</p> |
