The rigid coupling device includes a closure valve extended by a retractable sliding stop member of general tubular shape made from elastically deformable material, having at least one outward radial projection forming a stop against a corresponding inward radial projection of a movable interior body that contains the valve. The stop member has an open end opposite the opening of the cylindrical cavity of one end connecting to the conduit. Simultaneous withdrawal of the interior body and of the valve into the interior body has the effect of causing this open end to contract, forcibly inserting it into the cylindrical cavity of the connecting end in such a manner as to overcome the stop.

Rigid coupling device for pressurized fluid-conduits

The invention relates to a quick-connect coupling for hydraulic fluid conduits. The inventive coupling consists of a male element and a female element comprising an outer tubular part and a mobile coupling part. In addition, joints are provided between the tubular parts and define chambers. According to the invention, during the coupling phase, one hydraulically-pressurised chamber can be communicated with an atmospheric pressure chamber, using at least one longitudinal groove or similar element which is disposed in the tubular coupling part or in the outer tubular part.
