  • Patent number: 6332633
    Abstract: A luer-type connector comprising a male-component formed with a locking nozzle having a coaxially extending nozzle lumen, and a locking collar rotatable over said nozzle. The locking collar has a rear end and is formed with an internal thread for screw coupling with a corresponding thread of a radially extending annular lug of a mating female-component of the connector. The nozzle is formed with a ridge having a radially extending abutting wall surface facing the rear end of the locking collar and a peripheral surface extending forward from the abutting wall. An annular rim behind the abutting wall has a first diameter. An annular notch intermediate the abutting wall and the annular rim has a second diameter lesser than that of the first diameter. The locking collar is formed with a radially extending wall surface engageable with the abutting wall surface of the ridge. And an annular bulge behind the radial wall surface has a third diameter lesser than the first diameter.

  • Patent number: 5984373
    Abstract: A luer-type connector comprising a male-component formed with a locking nozzle having a co-axially extending lumen, and a locking collar rotatable over the nozzle and having a rear end, and formed with an internal thread for screw coupling with a radially extending annular lug of a mating female-component of the luer-type connector. The nozzle is formed with ridge having a rear, radially extending abutting wall surface terminating at an acute edge. The locking collar is formed with a ridge-engaging portion consisting of a first wall surface rearwardly tapering, and a second wall surface radially extending and adapted for engagement with the abutting wall surface of the ridge, whereby the first wall surface is adapted for frictional displacement along the acute edge and the second wall surface prevents further forward axial displacement of the locking collar with respect to the nozzle.
