<p>@ A pipe coupling of the type comprising a first coupling part (1) connectable to a pipe or fitting having a body portion (4) and a second coupling part (2) connectable to a pipe or fitting and comprising a hollow interior adapted to receive the body portion (4) of the first coupling part in sealing engagement therewith. The first coupling part has an annular recess (5) and the said second coupling part (2) includes a transverse slot (13) formed therein across its hollow interior with a release bar (14) slidably mounted in said transverse slot (13) having an aperture (17) therethrough to a diameter similar to the diameter of the first coupling part body portion. The release bar (14) is movable between a first position wherein its aperture (17) is substantially aligned with the hollow interior so that the first part body portion (4) can be fitted into or removed from the hollow interior (10) of the second part and a second position wherein the aperture (17) in the release bar (14) is offset from the hollow interior (10) of the second part whereby an operatire portion (14b) of the periphery of said aperture engages the annular recess (5) of the first coupling part (1) when it is received in the hollow interior of the second part to retain it therein, the release bar (14) being resiliently urged towards said second position and manually movable therefrom to said first position.</p> |
