STAUBLI FAVERGES

This female element for a fluidic connector is designed to be connected to a Schrader-type male fitting, with a threaded tubular part. The female element include a main body, which provides a distal mouth for receiving the male fitting in an engaged position, and an adapter, which is intended to be secured to a pipeline, and which is assembled to the main body. A lock, which is received in a housing provided radially in the main body, provides a through opening intended to receive the male element in an engaged position. A lock stop is guided in the main body and extends in the housing and in the opening of the lock, so as to allow the movements of the lock between a locking position and an unlocking position, while preventing movements beyond the locking position.

This female element, which provides an internal channel, comprises a main body and an adapter rotatable relative to the main body. The main body provides a distal opening intended to receive a male fitting. The adapter comprises a proximal part, connectable to a pipeline, and a distal part with a tubular portion by which the adapter is fitted into a bore of the main body. A seal support, which is received in the internal channel, supports a first seal between the seal support and an inner surface of the tubular portion, and a second seal, which is intended to ensure a seal between the seal support and the male fitting in the connected position, the seal support being free in rotation relative to the main body.

The present disclosure relates to a filling device coupled with an end. The device includes a ball holder and a locking ball movable between retracted and locking positions. A valve is movable in the ball holder between rear and front positions. A locking ring is movable between a blocking position that maintains the locking ball in the locking position, and an unlocking position. A coupling ball is movable between a first position that prevents the valve from reaching its front position, and a second position. A drawer is pushed by the end between an engaged position that maintains the locking ball in the retracted position, and a disengaged position. An elastic member displaces the drawer to its engaged position, and an elastic member displaces the locking ring to its blocking position.

A fluidic connection device, including a flange, and a nozzle through which passes a distal internal channel, and which is configured so as to be fluidically coupled to a complementary connection device. The nozzle, mounted in the flange with the possibility of tilting relative to the flange, includes a rear end, and a front end. The invention also includes a rod including an intermediate internal channel; a front end, mounted in sealed cooperation with the rear end of the nozzle with the possibility of tilting of the rod relative to the nozzle and relative to the flange, for fluidic communication between the distal internal channel of the nozzle and the intermediate internal channel of the rod; and a rear end for fluidic communication between a proximal internal conduit and the intermediate internal channel.

This female element of a quick connector is intended to be coupled with a complementary male element and comprises a female body defining an insertion channel receiving the male element, the locking members, which are received in housings arranged in the female body, a plunger, which is movable along a central axis of the female element and pushes each locking member toward a distal position where this locking member projects into the insertion channel, and an operating ring, which surrounds the female body and is configured to drive the plunger. For simpler, more compact construction, each locking member and the plunger are configured to be magnetically attracted to each other, while the plunger is able to magnetically drive each locking member to its proximal position when the plunger is displaced to its back position.

A fluid connection element, comprising: a body; a locking ball; a locking ring, movable between a blocking position, blocking the locking ball in a locking position, and a release position, releasing the locking ball; an actuation ball, to drive the locking ring to the release position during coupling; and a maneuvering ring, mounted around the locking ring and comprising an internal radial wall, radially facing the front annular part and whose diameter is less than the diameter of a cylinder coaxial with the body and comprising said actuation ball, the locking ring comprising a radial heel to be driven by the maneuvering ring.

In the coupled configuration of the male and the female elements of the circuit breaker, the first and second radial passages are in fluid communication and the proximal and the distal seals are arranged on either side of the radial passages. A first valve comprises a distal rod sliding in a male body. In an intermediate coupling position, the proximal and the distal seals are arranged on either side of the radial passages. The proximal and the distal seals are respectively received in a proximal external peripheral groove and in a distal external peripheral groove of the male body. A first longitudinal distance, measured between the distal external peripheral groove and a median radial plane of the first radial passage, is strictly greater than a second longitudinal distance, measured between the proximal external peripheral groove and the median radial plane.

The present invention relates to a locking device including: a crown provided with a bore, a hub, mobile in rotation relative to the crown, a plate, integral with the hub, a rocker, mobile in rotation between a locking position and a release position, a groove, opening onto the bore and formed in the rocker or the plate, a guide ramp, formed at a periphery of the rocker or the plate, a pin, mounted in the groove to be blocked between the bore and the guide ramp when the rocker is in the locking position, and a return spring, acting between the plate and the rocker to bring the rocker back to the release position.

The fluidic coupling member includes a body defining an internal conduit configured to accommodate a mating end-piece. The body includes a proximal part, which is in one-piece and delimits a proximal part of the internal conduit, and a distal part which is in one-piece, which defines a proximal part of the internal conduit and is fitted into the proximal part in an assembled configuration of the body. The proximal part includes an internal groove whereas the distal part includes an external groove that radially faces the internal groove at least partially when the body is in the assembled configuration. The fluidic coupling element further includes an obstacle which is elastically deformable and which, in the assembled configuration of the body, is partially accommodated in the external groove and in the internal groove so as to prevent the separation of the distal and proximal parts.

A quick-coupling element including a body and a pusher captive and movable within the monobloc body. The body is provided with at least one inner radial guiding surface. The pusher is provided with at least one outer radial guiding surface which cooperates with the inner radial guiding surface. Sections of a proximal opening and of a distal mouth of the body have maximum dimensions less than a radial size of the pusher. The pusher is movable, in an internal volume of the body, to a reference position, wherein the outer radial surface of the pusher is disengaged from any inner radial surface of the body, and vice versa.
