Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2008052768A1] The present invention relates to a coupling for producing a detachable connection between a medical, in particular dental, handpiece part and a supply tube and for transmitting current and, if appropriate, other supply media from the supply tube to the handpiece part. The coupling comprises two coupling elements (3, 4), wherein one of the two coupling elements (3) can be arranged on the supply tube and the other (4) can be arranged on the handpiece part. Arranged on one of the two coupling elements (3), there is a guide element (5) that can be inserted into an insert opening (6) formed on the other coupling element (4). In a defined relative position of rotation of the two coupling elements (3, 4), a slide element (7) with current contacts engages in a corresponding recess of the second coupling element (4), wherein the two coupling elements (3, 4) can be rotated relative to each other about a rotation axis (D) when the guide element (5) has been inserted or at least partially inserted and before the predefined coupling position is reached. A reliable quick-coupling is thus formed that permits particularly easy handling.
