Abstract (en)

[origin: US4648635A] The bayonet coupling is provided with a connecting ring having radial pins for engaging in grooves in a hollow member to provide a loose connection. In addition, a screw-threaded ring is threaded into the connecting ring to move against a shoulder on one hollow member in order to compress a resilient seal ring between the hollow members and thus provide a strong seal-tight connection.
