Abstract

A tolerance compensated quick coupling comprises a projecting or bulging portion of a male coupling, which can be axially driven in a valve body, the coupling projecting or bulging portion ending with a flange inside the valve body, said flange in said valve body being followed by an axially movable annular body which, through a spring bearing on the bottom of the valve body, is pressed against the flange, the movable annular body having, on a side thereof facing the flange, a circumferential slot housing a sealing ring element contacting an inner surface of the flange, the movable annular body being moreover provided, on an outer circumferential side thereof, with a slot in which is engaged a circumferential sealing ring contacting an inner wall of the valve body.

Claims (4)

1. A coupling tolerance compensated quick coupling, comprising a projecting or bulging portion of a male coupling, which can be radially driven inside a valve body, said projecting or bulging portion of said coupling ending with a flange inside said valve body, characterized in that following said flange ( 4 ), in the inside of said valve body ( 3 ), is provided an axially movable annular body ( 6 ) which, through a spring ( 7 ) bearing on a bottom of said valve body ( 3 ), is pressed against said flange ( 4 ), that said axially movable annular body ( 6 ) comprises, on a front side thereof facing said flange ( 4 ), a circumferential slot ( 9 ) in which is engaged a sealing ring ( 10 ) contacting an inner surface of said flange ( 4 ) and that, moreover, said axially movable annular body ( 6 ) comprises, on an outer circumferential side thereof, a slot ( 13 ) in which a circumferential sealing ring ( 14 ), contacting an inner wall of said valve body ( 3 ) is engaged.

2. A coupling tolerance compensated quick coupling, according to claim 1 , characterized in that said circumferential slot ( 9 ) is delimited, on an outer side thereof, by a delimiting wall ( 20 ) which is bent in a hook pattern toward the inside of a chamber ( 12 ).

3. A coupling tolerance compensated quick coupling, according to claim 1 , characterized in that said sealing ring ( 14 ) engaged in said outer circumferential slot ( 13 ) of said axially movable annular body ( 6 ) is made of a resilient material, and that said sealing ring ( 14 ) is restrained at a target position by a further resilient ring ( 15 ).

4. A coupling tolerance compensated quick coupling, according to claim 1 , characterized in that said sealing ring ( 10 ) has a diameter less than a diameter of said sealing ring ( 14 ).
