[Class 99(i)] In pipe or rod couplings of the kind in which automatic engagement of a latch holding the coupling portions together is effected by inserting one axially within the other, an external device being provided for releasing the latch, the latter comprises a rotatable member 25 which is turned anticlockwise by a boss 5 when a spigot 1 is inserted in a socket 2 and is then forced back into the locking position shown by a spring 33 compressed by the previous movement, release being effected by moving a sleeve 30 to the left to turn the member 25 into a position where the spigot 1 is released. The member 25 is a bar cut away at 35 and notched at each end to form a projection 26 engaging between lugs 28, 29 on the sleeve 30. The bar 25 is located in a sleeve 7 secured on the socket 2. 16 is a sealing ring.
