Abstract
The invention relates to a fluid coupling having coupling elements, each coupling element respectively having: a body, a main valve, movable to open and close a main passage through the body, a safety valve, movable to open and close a secondary passage through the main valve, and a plunger for moving the safety valve. To reduce leaks and reduce the pairing force, the fluid coupling is configured so that, during a pairing of the coupling elements, a sealing gasket cooperates with the body before the safety valves of the two coupling elements are moved toward their open position, and at least one of the plungers pushes its main valve back toward its open position, once the associated safety valve is in the open position.
