In a coupling device for optical waveguides in the form of a plug and a socket member, the fibre ends of the fibre optic cables (5, 5') held inside the connecting sleeves (4, 13) are pressed against each other with their end faces in the coupled state of the device, by the action of compression springs (17). For locking the two halves of the coupling device there is used a quick-acting lock which comprises a snap-lock mechanism (29) in which balls (27) of the plug member engaging into a groove (7) of the socket member, are either arrested or released with the aid of a sliding sleeve (15) arranged on the plug member. In the respective positions corresponding to either the locked or the unlocked snap-lock mechanism (28), the sliding sleeve (15) is retained with the aid of a click-stop device (14). <IMAGE> |
