QUICK-ACTING COUPLING FOR HOSES OR THE LIKE

摘要

This invention relates to a female coupler which comprises a housing, a receptacle movably positioned within the housing, and a main and a secondary valve means situated within the receptacle. The two valve means control the flow of fluid into and out of the coupler. In addition, a lever-actuatable cam means is utilized to both move the receptacle to facilitate engagement with a male coupler and to move the secondary valve means to release fluid pressure within the female coupler.
