Abstract
The coupling consists of two releasably coupleable coupling parts of which one coupling part is allocated an instrument, apparatus or other tubing and the other coupling part is to be connected to another tubing. In the coupled condition one coupling part with a convex spherical surface lies against a concave spherical surface formed on the neighbouring region of the other coupling part. With this, both coupling parts are sealingly axially braced against one another.
