A connection device for making a hydraulic connection comprising a male connector (4), a female connector (2) adapted to receive the male connector so as to allow fluid communication therebetween, and a retaining staple (6) for retaining the male connector within the female connector. The retaining staple comprises two arms (32) connected together at one end thereof, and the female connector defines two passageways (24) adapted to receive the two arms of the retaining staple, the arms being adapted, when received within said two passageways, to engage with the male connector so as to retain the male connector within the female connector. At least one of the arms (32) is provided with a locking recess (38) or projection adapted to engage with the male or female connector in such a way as to allow removal of the locking staple, when the connection device contains hydraulic fluid under pressure, only after movement of the male connector further into the female connector against the action of the hydraulic fluid under pressure. <IMAGE> |
