Abstract
The invention relates to a locking part (10) for a rapid coupling, comprising an attachment (11), which is equipped with elements that lock (18, 19) with the receiving part of a rapid coupling and an actuating element (15), which is in contact with the attachment (11) and is mounted in said attachment (11) so that it can be displaced between a release position and a locking position.
The actuating element (15) comprises locking elements (22, 23, 25, 26), which engage with a retaining ring that is configured on an insertion part of the rapid coupling, when the locking part (10) is attached to the receiving part in the locking position. This ensures that the locking part (10) can be securely fixed to the rapid coupling and achieves ease of use.

Description
Transtek Document No. GE0223 PCTlEP2005/011261 RL 622 WO
A. RAYMOND & CIE 15 August 2006 Locking element for a quick connector The invention relates to a locking element for a quick connector according to the preamble of Claim 1.
Such a locking element is known for example from US 2003/0137148 Al. The prior one-piece, U-Iike locking element is provided with means for effecting a snap connection with a receiving element of a quick connector, and with locking means which in a locked position can be brought into engagement with a retaining ring configured on an insertable element of the quick connector. The means for effecting a snap connection are configured as radially outwardly projecting noses formed onto outer arms oriented parallel to each other. The locking means are configured in the form of two mutually opposite projections disposed inwardly of the outer arms. The prior locking element is displaceably mounted in a ciearance configured in the receiving element of the quick connector.
A further one-piece locking eiement for a quick connector is known from DE 101 15 399.
This one-piece locking element can be mated onto a quick connector and is provided with means for effecting a snap connection with a receiving element of a quick connector, the locking element being dispiaceable perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the quick connector between a locked position that protects an insertable element of the quick connector against accidentally slipping out and a released position in which the insertable element can be withdrawn from the receiving element.
The object underlying the invention is to disclose a locking element for a quick connector of the aforesaid kind, which, as a supplemental, particularly aiso retrofittable, locking element is distinguished by secure attachment to a receiving element of the quick connector and by ease of use.
AMENDED SHEET
Transtek Document No. GE0223 A. RAYMOND & CIE 15 August 2006 This object is achieved according to the invention, in a locking element for a quick connector of the initially cited kind, by means of the characterizing features of Claim 1.
By virtue of the fact that the inventive locking element is configured as two-part, with a matable element and an actuating element, the matable element, due to the specific configuration, being able, as an additional component besides a U-type or ring-shaped locking element already present on the quick connector, reliably to be brought into engagement forwardly with the receiving element of the quick connector, taken in the direction of insertion of the insertable element, and the actuating element being mounted in the matable element and thus independently of the configuration of the receiving element of the quick connector, operationally reliable fixation and ease of use of the additional lock are obtained.
In the improvement according to Claim 2, by the provision of a cover plate, coverage is obtained for an actuating surface configured on a quick connector and serving to release an insertable element, thereby substantially reducing the risk of accidental loosening in the connection made by the quick connector.
Further useful configurations of the invention are the subject matter of the additional dependent claims.
Additional useful configurations and advantages will emerge from the following description of a preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention, taken with reference to the figures of the drawing. Therein:
