Abstract
A quick-acting coupling for the fluid-tight connection of two parts, each with sealing elements with sealing faces, is provided with at least one sealing face having a flexible seal, as well as a coupling for connecting the parts in such a way that they do not move relative to each other. In order to simplify the coupling and to reduce its costs, the sealing element of one part has a bevelled end and the sealing element of the other part has a correspondingly bevelled socket. The flexible seal is free-standing and radially unconfined over the entire height of its contact with the other sealing face.
