thimble in the female member having a
groove and also having a shoulder at its
5 inner end, said sleeve being adapted to
couple said members together and having
shoulders, one shoulder for engagement in
the groove of the body portion of the female
member and its other shoulder being adapt-
10 ed for engagement in the groove of the
thimble in the female member and to over-
lap the shoulder of said thimble.
5. A hose coupling .comprising a. male
member, a female member composed of a
15 body portion and a coupling sleeve, the body
portion of the female member having an
external groove, a tapering clamping.thimble
in each of said members, the thimbles taper-
ing from their inner to their outer ends and
20 the thimble in the female member having an
annular groove and also having an annular
shoulder at its inner end, said sleeve having
shoulders, one shoulder for engagement in
the groove of the female member and the
25 other shoulder for engagement in -the groove
of the thimble of the female member and
adapted to overlap the shoulder of said
thimble.

30 member, a female member composed of a
body portion and a coupling sleeve, tapering
thimbles in said members, said sleeve hav-
ing swiveled engagement .with one of said
members and also having swiveled engage-
35 ment with one of the thimbles to hold said
latter thimble against movement outwardly
of its inclosing member.
7. A hose coupling comprising a hollow
male member whose interior is of greater
40 width in cross section at its outer end than
at its inner end to provide a shoulder inter-h
mediate its ends, the enlarged interior por-
tion of said male member being tapered, a
thimble disposed in the enlarged interior
45 portion of the male member and whose ex-
terior is tapered for coperation with the
tapering surface of the enlarged interior
portion of the male member to clamp the
hose section between the male member and
50 the thimble with its extremity in, engage-
ment with said shoulder, the inner end of
the male member being externally screw
threaded, a. female member composed of a
body portion and a sleeve, the interior of
55 the body portion of .the female member be-
ing tapered and its exterior provided with
an annular groove, a thimble whose exterior
is tapered for coperation with the taper-
ing surface of the body portion of the fe-
