Abstract:
Quick coupling device 1 for transferring liquid for an aircraft, comprising a female member 7 configured to be connected to a first reservoir, said female member 7 forming a passage and comprising a cylindrical portion 13 and a radial portion 14, a male member 2 configured to be connected to a second reservoir, said male member 2 forming a passage, slidably mounted in a liquid-tight manner in the female member 7 and comprising a cylindrical portion 3 and a radial portion 4, and a member 40 for locking the male member 2 in the female member 7, the locking member 40 being disposed between the radial portion 14 of the female member 7 and the radial portion 4 of the male member 2, the locking member 40 surrounding the male member 2 and leaving a limited sliding extent for the male member 2 with respect to the female member 7, engaging with the female member 7 in the locked position and releasing the female member 7 in the unlocked position, the locking member 40 comprising an axial blocking lock that can be actuated by an axial then rotating movement and that can be released by an axial then rotating movement, and a rotation brake, the lock and the brake being active in the locked position.
