Abstract
A quick coupling for connecting fluid lines with one-handed push-to-connect and pull-to-disconnect operation is described. The quick coupling achieves this preferred functionality with a minimum number parts, the quick coupling having only one spring and one dynamic seal. In addition to fluid carrying applications the quick coupling can be used for tool holding and power transmission.
