Female coupling element and fluid coupling comprising a male coupling element and said female coupling element

Abstract

A fluid female coupling element (), comprising a female body (), able to receive a male coupling element (), a bolt (), mounted sliding transversely between a holding position and a releasing position of the male coupling element and a plunger (), movable between forward and rear positions. To automatically oppose the removal of the male element fitted within it, even if the male element has a reduced length, the female coupling element () comprises a memory ring (), movable between an advanced position for holding the bolt () in the releasing position and a withdrawn position allowing the movement of the bolt () toward its holding position, the plunger () driving the memory ring () toward the withdrawn position when the plunger moves toward the rear position and the memory ring being in the advanced position in the uncoupled position.
