Claims (11)

Patentkrav
1. Rørkopling (1) for sammenkopling av to rørelementer (3, 4), hvor rørkoplingen (1) omfatter:
- et roterbart legeme (2) som har en åpen første ende (100) for mottak av et endeparti (31) av et første rørelement (3) og en åpen andre ende (101) for mottak av et endeparti (41) av et andre rørelement (4);
- en flerhet koplingselementer (8) anordnet slik inne i nevnte legeme (2) at en rotering av nevnte legeme (2) i forhold til koplingselementene (8) resulterer i en innoverrettet radiell forskyvning av koplingselementene (8), slik at hvert koplingselement (8) går i kontakt med det første rørelementets (3) og det andre rørelementets (4) endeparti (31, 41) for sammenkopling av de to rørelementene (3, 4).
2. Rørkopling (1) ifølge krav 1, hvor en innvendig overflateseksjon (200) på det roterbare legemet (2) har en spiralform som er komplementær til en ytre overflateseksjon (800) på koplingselementene (8) for å oppnå nevnte innoverrettede radielle forskyvning av koplingselementene (8).
3. Rørkopling (1) ifølge krav 1 eller 2, hvor nevnte innoverrettede radielle forskyvning av koplingselementene (8) resulterer i en aksiell forskyvning av ett rørelement (3) eller begge rørelementene (3, 4).
4. Rørkopling (1) ifølge krav 3, hvor koplingselementene (8) omfatter et utspringselement (33, 34) som er komplementært til et spor (32, 42) på hvert av de to rørelementene (3, 4) for å oppnå nevnte aksielle forskyvning.
5. Rørkopling (1) ifølge hvilket som helst av de foregående kravene, videre omfattende et middel (50) for rotering av legemet (2).
6. Rørkopling (1) ifølge krav 5, hvor midlet (50) for rotering av legemet (2) er forbundet med en låseplate (12) og legemet (2), hvor låseplatens (12) posisjon er fast i forhold til legemet (2).
7. Rørkopling (1) ifølge krav 6, hvor midlet (50) for rotering av legemet (2) omfatter en skrue (14) og en mutter (13), hvor skruen (14) er forbundet med låseplaten (12) og strekker seg gjennom mutteren (13) forbundet med legemet (2), hvor en rotering av skruen (14) forskyver mutteren (13) langs skruen (14) og resulterer i rotering av legemet (2).
8. Rørkopling (1) ifølge hvilket som helst av de foregående kravene, videre omfattende en frigjøringsmekanisme (60), hvor en motsatt rotasjon av legemet (2) resulterer i en utoverrettet radiell forskyvning av koplingselementene (8) for frakopling av de to rørelementene (3, 4).
9. Rørkopling (1) ifølge krav 8, hvor frigjøringsmekanismen (60) omfatter et frigjøringselement (11), hvor frigjøringselementet (11) har en ytre spiralformet overflateseksjon (110) som er komplementær til en indre overflateseksjon (801) på koplingselementene (8), for oppnåelse av nevnte utoverrettede radielle forskyvning koplingselementene (8).
10. Rørkopling (1) ifølge hvilket som helst av de foregående kravene, videre omfattende en pakning (24) anordnet mellom endepartiene (31, 41) av de to rørelementene (3, 4) for tetting av forbindelsen mellom nevnte rør (3, 4).
11. Rørkopling (1) ifølge krav 10, videre omfattende en tetningsbeskyttelsesring (25) forbundet med endepartiet (31, 41) på ett av rørelementene (3, 4).
