Abstract
A coupling assembly (1) for releasably interconnecting fluid passages. A female coupling member (3) has a first end (10) arranged for connection to a first fluid passage, and a second end comprising a socket (12) extending along a first longitudinal axis. A male coupling member (2) has a first end (6) arranged for connection to a second fluid passage, and a second end comprising a probe (13) receivable in the socket (12), extending along a second longitudinal axis. The coupling members (2, 3) are arranged such that when the coupling members (2, 3) are mated, the coupling members (2, 3) provide a conduit for fluid flow between the first and second fluid passages. The conduit has internal surfaces dimensioned such that fluid within the conduit exerts pressure on the internal surfaces to provide a net force resisting separation of the mated coupling members (2, 3).
