The quick-connect device for the assembly of first and second fluidic transport elements includes a female connector and a male lock-ring connector configured to cooperate with the female connector and to relatively immobilize axially and in rotation the first element with the female connector. The male connector and the female connector respectively include first and second complementary positioning members configured to define a plurality of predefined discrete positions of assembly of the two male and female connectors, distributed angularly around the main axis, such that in any one of these angular positions, the two connectors are immobilized in rotation relative to one another.

The present invention provides a quick connector made of plastics material for establishing a snapping connection between a tubular male part (50) and female part (40) of a fluid connection system. The connector has retaining means (10) adapted to be set within the mouth portion (41) of the female part (40) and having first and second flexing members (12, 22) for snapping engagement with the male part (50) and the female part (40), respectively. The first and second flexing members (12, 22) are provided at circumferentially spaced portions of the retaining means (10) so that the overall axial dimensioning of the retaining means (10) is reduced.

The connector has retaining means (10) adapted to be set within the mouth portion (41) of the female part (40) and having a resilient member (20) for snapping engagement with both a thickened portion (52) of the male part (50) and an annular groove (42) in the mouth portion (41) of the female part (40) when the resilient member (20), which is held by the retaining means (10) in an axially fixed position, is stretched in the radial direction due to the snapping engagement with the male part (50).

A tube coupling including a female connector a body into which a male connector having an annular collar is inserted axially, and a connection element is provided. The connection element extends in a transverse direction within the body of the female connector. The connection element is designed to interfere mechanically with the collar during insertion of the male connector and to move transversely of its own accord towards the inside of the female connector. The connection element includes a locking hook that cooperates with a locking catch provided in the female connector. The hook goes past the catch as a result of the mechanical interference of the collar that drives axial and radial elastic deformation of the connection element. The hook locks against the catch when the connection element is fully pushed into the female connector.

A connector is disclosed that includes a coupler having a socket end fluidically connected by a passage to a stem connected to a first fluid tube. A retainer housing having a cavity in axial alignment with the passage is installed on the coupler socket end and a retainer is installed in the retainer housing in a first position. A second fluid tube having a raised bead formed proximate an end portion of the second fluid tube is permitted to be installed into the retainer housing cavity by the retainer when the retainer is in the first position. Installation of the second fluid tube places the bead in the retainer housing and the end portion of the second fluid tube in the coupler passage providing a fluid path between the first fluid tube and the second fluid tube. The retainer is moved to a second position latching the bead to the retainer housing retaining the second fluid tube to the connector.

A pipe fitting for conveying a medium, including an inlet at which the medium enters in a first direction perpendicular to an inlet cross section, and an outlet at which the medium leaves in a second direction perpendicular to an outlet cross section, wherein the two directions enclose an angle. The pipe fitting has three parts, wherein in each case two parts bearing against one another at a contact point, wherein in each case two parts at their contact point being rotatable relative to one another about the axis of the flow direction at the contact point in order to change the angle, and wherein the two contact points being spaced apart from one another in the flow direction.

A connection verifier, including a collar, a circuit board non-rotatably connected to the collar, the circuit board including at least one terminal, a switch rotatably connected to the collar and arranged to contact the at least one terminal, the switch including at least one finger extending in a first axial direction, and an indication device arranged to activate when the switch contacts the at least one terminal.
