Abstract
A breakaway coupling including a pair of sleeves, one sleeve fitting within the other, each sleeve provided with a connector body, and a hose connector secured with one of the connector bodies. The first sleeve holds a metal annulus, while the second sleeve secures a ring separator, counterbored, to secure a series of round magnets therein, so that when the sleeves and their connector bodies are brought together, they are secured by the magnets into connection. When excessive force is encountered, the breakaway will separate, to prevent further discharge of fuel from the nozzle. A swivel connector secures with one of the connector bodies.
