<p>A breakaway coupling for fluid systems wherein interconnected coupling parts will separate upon predetermined bending or tension forces being applied to the respective parts. A bending or tension force appllied to one part axially misaligned with respect to the other part produces a pivotal movement which automatically releases the coupling connection means permitting the parts to separate without damage. Additionally, the coupling incorporates automatic release structure sensing coaxial tension forces permitting uncoupling without relative pivoting.</p> |
