Abstract
A quick connect coupling for removably connecting two pipes which comprises a male element adapted to fit into a female element along a principal axis of the coupling. The Female element includes at least one ramp for receiving a radial projection of the male element to lock these elements together. The ramp is formed in a ring freely rotatably mounted in the female element, and fixed in translation along the principal axis, while the projection is fixed with respect to the male element. The ramp forms a seat for locking the radial projection. Locking is obtained by essentially axial movements of the male and female elements with respect to one another.
