TWO PIECE MOLDED FEMALE COUPLING

摘要

A quick connect/disconnect coupling (20) having a female coupling member (24 ), a male coupling member (22), and a clip member (26) slidably mounted on the female coupling member (24) for retaining the female (24) and male (22) coupling members together in a coupled state. The clip member (26) is design ed to prevent inadvertent actuation thereof, thereby preventing accidental disconnection of the female (24) and male (26) coupling members once they ar e in the coupled state. The clip member (26) must be actuated from a lock position to an unlock position before the clip member (26) can be actuated from its connect position to its disconnect position. Thus two separate movements of the clip member (26) are required before the coupling (20) can be disconnected and/or connected.
