<p>A full flow quick connect fluid coupling (100) that reduces spillage using a convex (22) and a concave ball valve (22 ') mounted each in a separate coupling body (10,10') that are joined together where the ball valves seal together and are sequentially rotated using one activation lever (102) to first rotate a first ball valve 90 degrees and then rotating a second ball valve 90 degrees using a gear drive mechanism. A handle button release lock (118,124,126) and a secondary handle lock (116) ensure that the valves are not opened until the bodies are joined and locked together in sealing engagement. A lock mechanism (150) is used to lock the bodies together and to provide a lock tab that prevents the ball valves from being opened until the lock mechanism is closed.</p> |
