Abstract
The present invention relates to a hydraulic and/or pneumatic multi-coupler connector of the type comprising at least one pair of couplers inserted into a containment body and equipped with a lever actuated mechanism comprising an actuation lever maneuverable by the user for the relief of the residual pressure of the couplers and the connection thereof to corresponding male couplers.
Claims7
A connector device of the multi-coupler type comprising at least one pair of couplers inserted into a housing body and equipped with a lever actuated mechanism comprising an actuation lever maneuverable by the user for the relief of the residual pressure inside the couplers and the connection thereof to corresponding couplers, wherein said lever actuated mechanism further comprises a pair of cams, said cams being movable simultaneously and in a counterposed manner by said actuation lever;
- wherein said actuation lever is mechanically connected to a central pin so that the movement of said actuation lever sets in rotation said central pin on which said cams are rigidly engaged;
- and
- said actuation lever is shiftable between a rest position and a first position and between said rest position and a second position, wherein the shift of said lever from said rest position to said first position results in the rotation of said central pin and said two cams in a first direction of rotation, and wherein the shift of said lever from said rest position to said second position results in the rotation of said pin and said cams in a second direction of rotation opposite to said first direction of rotation.
