Abstract

The present invention relates to a hydraulic and/or pneumatic multi-coupler connector of the type comprising at least one pair of couplers inserted into a containment body and equipped with a lever actuated mechanism comprising an actuation lever maneuverable by the user for the relief of the residual pressure of the couplers and the connection thereof to corresponding male couplers.

Claims (9)

1. A connector device of the multi-coupler type comprising at least one pair of couplers inserted into a housing body and equipped with a lever actuated mechanism comprising an actuation lever maneuverable by the user for the relief of the residual pressure inside the couplers and the connection thereof to corresponding couplers, wherein said lever actuated mechanism further comprises a pair of cams, said cams being movable simultaneously and in a counterposed manner by said actuation lever;

wherein said actuation lever is mechanically connected to a central pin so that the movement of said actuation lever sets in rotation said central pin on which said cams are rigidly engaged; and

said actuation lever is shiftable between a rest position and a first position and between said rest position and a second position, wherein the shift of said lever from said rest position to said first position results in the rotation of said central pin and said two cams in a first direction of rotation, and wherein the shift of said lever from said rest position to said second position results in the rotation of said pin and said cams in a second direction of rotation opposite to said first direction of rotation.

2. The connector device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotation of said cams in said first direction of rotation results M the actuation of a first coupler by one of said cams, and in that the rotation of said cams in said second direction of rotation results in the actuation of the second coupler of said at least two couplers by the second of said two cams.

3. The connector device according to claim 2 , wherein, the actuation of said first coupler involves the actuation of a pressure relief valve on the corresponding coupler and in that the actuation of said second coupler involves the actuation of a pressure relief valve on the corresponding coupler.

4. The connector device according to claim 3 , wherein each of said cams comprises a central body from which a rod-ike portion ending with a free end extends.

5. The connector device according to the preceding claim 4 , wherein each of said central bodies comprises a seat for receiving the pin set in rotation by said actuation lever.

6. The connector device according to the preceding claim 5 , wherein said pin comprises an engagement pardon on which corresponding seats, respectively obtained in said central bodies, are engaged for shape and size.

7. The connector device according to claim 6 , wherein said housing body is a single body without front access compartments.
