Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A quick connector having a first element including a piston with a valve for closing an inner duct of the first element and which piston is movable between a first position within a body of the first element and a second position forward of the body and wherein the valve is movable relative to the piston in a direction parallel to an axis of the first element. The connector includes a seal between the piston and the body of the first element and at least one movable member for locking the piston in the first position and a ring for maintaining the movable member in the first position when the first element is coupled to, and during separation of, a second element of the connector and as long as the valve is not closing the inner duct of the first element.
