  • Patent number: 10047888
    Abstract: A quick connector, which can securely demonstrate the lock confirmation function by a checker when a piped body is reinserted, is provided. A checker includes reinsertion-inhibiting bosses. Thus, when a piped body is inserted through an opening of a retainer again in such a state as the checker is moved to the lock confirmation position after the piped body has been pulled from out of a housing and the retainer in such a state as the checker is moved to the release position, the reinsertion-inhibiting bosses hock up onto an annular boss, thereby inhibiting the piped body from being inserted into the retainer and housing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 29, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 14, 2018

  • Patent number: 8596690
    Abstract: A quick connector capable of surely confirming that a pipe body is engaged by a retainer when an elastically-deformable claw of the retainer and an elastically-deformable claw of a checker are adjacently arranged in an axial direction. Checker-axis direction elastically-deformable claws have distal-end sides formed flexibly deformable in the axial direction, maintain a state of being engaged by a second engagement portion of a retainer body by having deflective deformation regulated by a retainer diameter-expanding elastically-deformable claw in a state in which the retainer diameter-expanding elastically-deformable claw is expanded diametrically, and regulate sliding from a first position with respect to the retainer body toward a set radial direction by being engaged by the second engagement portion of the retainer body.
