The invention relates to a vortex degassing device () for a fluid transfer circuit (F, F), in particular of a motor vehicle, this device () comprising: The invention also relates to a fluid transfer circuit comprising at least one such device () as well as a method for using such a device ().

Vortex separation device for a fluid transfer circuit

A fluid-transfer coupling device designed to couple a rigid male endpiece to a flexible female pipe and to the production method therefor. The device includes a sleeve for gripping around the pipe and locking the endpiece, the sleeve having a radially inner part surrounding an annular sealing lining mounted in abutment on the endpiece; and a metal socket having a tubular portion gripped by the pipe and ending in a collar formed by a radial step which extends in an axial end and has a radial height, the axial end being mounted inside and in contact with the radially inner part and forming the base of a groove receiving the lining, the device comprising means for fitting the sleeve to the collar and comprising a continuous peripheral projection formed in one piece with the sleeve. According to the invention the projection projects radially in abutment against the step aver most of the radial height.

Device for coupling a rigid male endpiece to a flexible female pipe, and production method therefor

The invention relates to a composite annular seal () having a flexible body and rigid reinforcement () for a rapid fluid-transfer coupling (), and to a rapid coupling of this type incorporating the seal. The seal () with a reinforcement () can be used for a coupling comprising a female tubular sleeve () and a male tubular endpiece () mounted inside the sleeve in order to produce overall static sealing between a recess () in the sleeve () and the endpiece (), the seal comprising: an inner axial wing () having a radially inner face () which has a radially innermost flexible peripheral portion () designed to be applied tightly against the endpiece; an outer axial wing () having a flexible radially outer face () which is designed to be placed firmly against the recess; and a core () connecting the inner wing to the outer wing. According to the invention, the innermost peripheral portion () is convex, with a rounded shape in axial section.
