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.
Claims12
A multi-coupler connector device comprising a main body which defines a first seat and a second seat, and a first coupler and a second coupler housed in said first seat and said second seat, respectively, wherein said main body further defines a chamber in communication with each of said first seat and second seat, said device further comprising a rocker arm received in said chamber and adapted to be rotated on a rotation axis (A) in a first direction of rotation and a second direction of rotation opposite to said first direction of rotation, wherein rotating said rocker arm in said first direction of rotation and said second direction of rotation results in said first coupler being actuated and the residual pressure inside thereof being relieved and respectively in said second coupler being actuated and the residual pressure inside thereof being relieved, wherein said rocker arm comprises a main support body adapted to be rotated around said rotation axis (A) in said first direction of rotation and second direction of rotation, along with a first actuating portion and a second actuating portion rotatably supported by said main support body so that rotating said main support body in said first direction of rotation and second direction of rotation results in said first coupler being actuated by said first actuating portion and respectively in said second coupler being actuated by said second actuating portion, wherein the first actuating portion and the second actuating portion are rotatably supported by said main support body to rotate with respect to said main support body around axes which are spaced from and parallel to said rotation axis (A).
