Fast coupling for irrigation systems, particularly domestic irrigation systems
First Claim
1. Fast coupling (1) for connecting two hoses, specifically intended to be used for the domestic irrigation, and of the type comprising:
- at least one body adapted to be connected to a male connector (15), characterized by the fact that it comprises;
a first inner body and second outer body (2, 4) coaxial to each other, the first and second body being partially slidable to each other along a common longitudinal axis;
said first and second body being hollow along said longitudinal axis and being reciprocally cooperant with connecting and disconnecting means (18, 20, 21, 24);
said second body (4) being adapted to be connected to the male connector (15);
an elastic torus-shaped element (11) housed inside the second body (4), said elastic element being adapted to lock said male connector;
a compression elastic element (7) longitudinally located between said first and second body;
said elastic element being adapted both to instantaneously disconnect the male connector (15) from the second body (4) and easily release the first body (2) from said second body;
said first and second body being detachably locked when the fast coupling (1) is operative.

Abstract
The invention relates to fast couplings for connecting hoses, particularly for domestic irrigation. A fast coupling (1) is formed by a first body (2) and a second body (4) reciprocally connected by inserting first lugs (23) projecting from the second body (4) in first slots (19) made on first body (2). A male connector (15) is locked inside the first coupling (1) by radially pressing an end (14) of said male connector with a torus-shaped elastic element (11). Unlocking the second body (4) from the first body (2) causes the automatic ejection of the male connector (15).
