Abstract
The connector system comprises an upstream tubular body (1) capable of being connected to a pressurized-fluid line and in which there is placed a first shutter (18) bearing against a seat (6) under the action of a spring (20) upstream of the shutter. A downstream tubular body (2), that can be plugged into the upstream tubular body (1) and is capable of being connected to a line receiving the pressurized fluid, contains a second shutter (49) bearing against a seat (38) under the action of a spring (51) downstream of this shutter and of spring force equal to or less than that of the spring (20). A push-rod (24) and a tubular wall (25) which are fixed to the first shutter (18) downstream thereof interact with a push-rod (55) fixed to the second shutter (49) upstream thereof and with an upstream edge (57) of the downstream tubular body (2). The upstream tubular body (1) is mounted in a socket (29) provided with a counterbore (31) and with a catching groove (32). The downstream tubular body (2) is housed in a plug (60) capable of being introduced into the counterbore (31) and provided with elastic tabs (63) with teeth (64) for clipping into the catching groove (32). An operating ring (6…
