Abstract
A pipe coupling is disclosed. The coupling includes a pair of hub members and a pair of coupling members surrounding the hub members. A plurality of projections extend outwardly from the coupling member and are received in receiving recesses in the other coupling members. Relative rotation of the coupling members moves the projections behind locking flanges into a locking position. A pivotally mounted lever on each connecting member is received by a locking recess on the other connecting member when in the locking position.
