    Abstract: This circuit breaker (10) for a facility for handling pressurized fluid includes a male element (100) and a female element (200) intended to fit in one another. The male element includes a male body (102) defining a first inner pipe (104) and provided with a member for closing off the front end of the first pipe, along the fitting axis, of at least one first radial passage (116), of a movable valve (118) and a locking notch arranged on the male body. The female element includes a female body (202) defining a second inner pipe (204A) and provided with at least one radial passage (256), a movable valve (218) and several locking members (242) movable transversely with respect to the fitting axis, between a first radial position, for the axial locking of the male and female bodies in the coupled configuration, and a second radial position, where the locking members free the passage of the male body (102) in the female body (202). In the coupled configuration, the radial passages (116, 256) are in communication, while sealing gaskets (266, 268) respectively cooperate radially with the male and female bodies (102, 202). A resilient return ring (246) is mounted on the female body (202) and surrounds the locking members (242). This ring resiliently returns the locking members toward their first radial position in the coupled configuration and is deformed radially, and resiliently, by the locking members during their movement, from their first radial position toward their second radial position.

    Abstract: This female element of a quick connector that connects to a male element and has a hollow body, which extends along an insertion axis and which delimits a receiving volume for the male element. Radial openings, formed in the body along a radial axis, open into the receiving volume. Each radial opening receives a latch, translatable in relation to the body along the corresponding radial axis, between a locked and an unlocked position. The female element has an actuating ring arranged about the body and translatable between a locked and an unlocked position. The ring has guide grooves, which interact with pins of each latch. The guide grooves associated with each latch are geometrically carried by a guide plane inclined in relation to the insertion axis so that each latch is driven between its locked and unlocked positions when the actuating ring is moved between its locked and unlocked positions.
