MULTI-COUPLER MANIFOLD WITH MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC PRESSURE RELIEF
A multi-coupling component (20) includes a plurality of fluid couplers (22, 24, 26, 28) that are fluidly connected to a plurality of corresponding fluid flow pathways (80, 84), and a case drain fluid coupler (32) that is fluidly connected to a low pressure drain fluid pathway (88); and a pressure relief mechanism (40) that is configured to be moved between a disconnected state, a partially connected state, and a fully connected state. The pressure relief mechanism is configured such that in the partially connected state the fluid flow pathways and drain fluid pathway are fluidly connected to perform a pressure relief function, and in the disconnected state and the connected state the drain fluid pathway is isolated from the fluid flow pathways. The pressure relief mechanism includes a pressure relief button, wherein the pressure relief button is depressed to move the pressure relief mechanism from the disconnected state to the partially connected state and to the connected state. The pressure relief mechanism may be operated manually by hand for the subsequent connection of individual fluid couplers, or automatically when a second multi-coupling component is attached to the multi-coupling component that has the pressure relief mechanism.

Multi-coupling device with pressure relief circuit
The present invention relates to a multi-coupling device of the plate type for the simultaneous connection of a plurality of hydraulic, electric and pneumatic lines through quick couplings. The device according to the present invention is characterized in that it comprises bayonet coupling means which allow the coupling of the two plates by means of the relative sliding of the mobile plate with respect to the fixed plate. By virtue of the presence of a dedicated hydraulic circuit which connects the female couplings of the fixed plate to one another, the multi-coupling device according to the present invention allows to separate the step of coupling of the plates from the step of hydraulic connection of the male and female couplings.

Where the orientable connector has a head provided with orientation means arranged between the input and/or output section and the connection end; and where the fixing plate has complementary orientation means configured to fit with the orientation means of the head to fix an orientation position (P.sub.3) of the orientable connector, the head being arranged between the fixing plate and the receiver block.
Quick coupling for connecting during fluid flow in a hydraulic circuit
A coaxial coupling 10 includes a female coupling half 50 and a male coupling half 130. The coupling 10 is used in a hydraulic circuit 100 that includes a multistage hydraulic pump 101 and a hydraulic machine 102. The coupling is used in the circuit 100 to connect components when the pump is running. The coupling halves have a disconnected configuration (FIG. 1), a connection initiation configuration (FIG. 2), and a fully connected configuration (FIG. 3). Coupling half 50 includes a manually actuated restrictor 1 that signals the pump 101 to move to a low flow condition independently of load demand from the machine 102 in the connection initiation configuration. This reduces the forces required to move the coupling halves from the connection initiation configuration to the fully connected configuration.
