Female connection part comprising a member for actuating valves and a connection comprising such a female part
First Claim
1. A female connection part intended to receive a male connection part and comprising a female element as well as a body delimiting a zone for receiving the female element, the female part being provided with means for jointing the female element in the zone, the female element comprising:
- a passage having a shrinked section, the passage housing a translationally mobile valve and an elastic member for returning the valve towards a position for blocking the shrinked section;
a cylindrical bore intended to receive a male connection element fitted with a valve;
the female part further comprising;
a chamber extending axially between the passage and the cylindrical bore and defining a cylindrical guiding surface; and
a member for actuating the valves of the male and female connection elements capable of sliding in the chamber and comprised of a support extending radially from an axis of the cylindrical guiding surface right up to the cylindrical guiding surface, the actuating member further comprising two rods extending along the axis of the chamber on either side of the support, one of these rods being capable of penetrating into the passage so as to open the corresponding valve,the female part being characterized in that the jointing means comprise;
a tapped bore made in the distal portion of the receiving zone, the female element being associated with a nut capable of being screwed into or unscrewed from the tapped bore, the nut being rotationally mobile around the connection element between distal and proximal axial stops integral with the element, anda ring screwed onto the element, the ring including a distal surface capable of being jointed with a proximal surface of the nut.

Abstract
This female connection part (1) intended to receive a male connection part (101) comprises a female element (3) as well as a body (2) delimiting a receiving zone (5). The female part (1) is provided with means for jointing the female element (3) which includes a passage (6) having a shrinked section (7) and housing a valve (9, 12), and a cylindrical bore (13) intended to receive a male connection element (103). A chamber (190) defines a cylindrical guiding surface (192), whereas a member (20) for actuating the valves (9, 12; 109, 112) is capable of sliding in the chamber (190) and comprises two rods (21, 22), one of which (21) is capable of opening the corresponding valve (9, 12), the female part (1) being characterized in that the jointing means comprise:
a tapped (52A) bore (52) made in the distal portion of the receiving area (5), the female element (3) being associated with a nut (31) capable of being screwed into or unscrewed from the tapped (52A) bore (52), the nut (31) being rotationally mobile around the connection element (3) between distal (34) and proximal (35) axial stops integral with the element (3), and
a ring (32) screwed (3B) onto the element (3), the ring (32) including a distal surface (35B) capable of being jointed with a proximal surface (31B) of the nut (31).
