Abstract
A coupling assembly is disclosed having a female element with a conically shaped transition segment integrally formed between a mating segment and a central segment. As the mating segment of the male element is inserted into the female element, the conical transition segment serves to guide to the mating segment into an engaged position with the central segment of the female element.
