Zusammenfassung:A fluid coupling has engagement unit retained by a retention unit. The engagement unit has an outer surface having ears, and the retention unit has an interior surface for surrounding a portion of the engagement unit. The interior surface has pockets corresponding to the ears, and each pocket retains a corresponding ear. When the engagement unit is moved in an engagement direction, each ear passes a sidewall of a corresponding pocket and can be rotated and released to rest in the corresponding pocket. The ears may comprise sloped surfaces angled relative to a horizontal plane perpendicular to a length of the engagement unit. The fluid coupling may further comprise a gasket having a bearing surface for bearing against an end of the engagement unit, a base element for fixing the sealing gasket relative to the retention unit, and a flexible membrane extending from the base element to the bearing surface.
