First Claim
Patent Images
1. A high impact hose coupling apparatus comprising:
- a hollow coupling body further comprising a hose retention means disposed at an outside diameter of the coupling body half, a hose restriction means disposed on an inside diameter surface of the hollow coupling body half, a plurality of partially annular flange surfaces extending radially outward at a first end of the coupling body half and each flange surface having a raised portion on at least one lateral surface, a plurality of ears disposed at the first end of the coupling body half which extend in an axial direction of the coupling body half having cut-outs to receive the flange surfaces with at least one raised portion of a flange of a second coupling body half in a locking relationship, an annular groove extending into the first end of the coupling body half;
a spring locking means disposed at a first end of the coupling half body having a retractable portion extending through the flange surface for disposition in a second coupling body half preventing relative rotation between a first and second coupling body half in a locking relationship;
a static electricity dissipating means disposed in the annular groove.
