Abstract
Abstract A hose coupling includes an element having one end coupled to a pressurized liquid source and the other end having a valve seat, and a barrel secured to the other end of the element. A stop member is secured between the barrel and the element. A valve member is slidably engaged in the element and has a valve stem slidably engaged in an aperture. The valve stem has a head for engaging with the valve member and biased to engage with the valve member. An insert is slidably engaged in the barrel and has a pusher for disengaging the head from the valve member. A spring may bias the insert away from the stop member, and a connector may engage into the barrel for forcing the insert to disengage the head from the valve member and for allowing the pressurized liquid to flow through the hose coupling.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
255 words
A hose coupling comprising: a body including a first end for coupling to a pressurized liquid source and including a second end having a valve seat, a barrel secured to said second end of said body, a stop member secured between said barrel and said body, a valve member slidably engaged in said body and located between said valve seat of said body and said stop member, said valve member including an aperture and a valve stem slidably engaged in said aperture, said valve stem including a head for engaging with said valve member and means for biasing said head to engage with said valve member and for blocking said aperture, an insert slidably engaged in said barrel and including an orifice for receiving the pressurized liquid, said insert including a pusher for engaging with said valve stem and for disengaging said head from said valve member and for allowing the pressurized liquid to flow through said aperture of said valve member, means for biasing said insert away from said stop member, and a connector for engaging into said barrel and for forcing said insert against said insert biasing means and for actuating said pusher to disengage said head from said valve member and for allowing the pressurized liquid to flow through said aperture of said valve member, said head biasing means being allowed to force said head toward said valve member for allowing the pressurized liquid to force said valve member away from said stop member after the pressurized liquid flows through said aperture.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
255 words
A hose coupling comprising: a body including a first end for coupling to a pressurized liquid source and including a second end having a valve seat, a barrel secured to said second end of said body, a stop member secured between said barrel and said body, a valve member slidably engaged in said body and located between said valve seat of said body and said stop member, said valve member including an aperture and a valve stem slidably engaged in said aperture, said valve stem including a head for engaging with said valve member and means for biasing said head to engage with said valve member and for blocking said aperture, an insert slidably engaged in said barrel and including an orifice for receiving the pressurized liquid, said insert including a pusher for engaging with said valve stem and for disengaging said head from said valve member and for allowing the pressurized liquid to flow through said aperture of said valve member, means for biasing said insert away from said stop member, and a connector for engaging into said barrel and for forcing said insert against said insert biasing means and for actuating said pusher to disengage said head from said valve member and for allowing the pressurized liquid to flow through said aperture of said valve member, said head biasing means being allowed to force said head toward said valve member for allowing the pressurized liquid to force said valve member away from said stop member after the pressurized liquid flows through said aperture.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The hose coupling according to claim 1 further comprising means for securing said connector to said barrel.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
94 words
The hose coupling according to claim 2, wherein said barrel includes at least one lateral puncture and at least one ball engaged in said at least one lateral puncture, said connector includes an annular groove for engaging with said at least one ball, said hose coupling further includes a control ferrule slidably engaged ons aid barrel and having an annular flange for engaging with said at least one ball and for forcing said at least one ball to engage with said annular groove of said connector and for securing said connector to said barrel.
