  • Publication number: 20060151999
    Abstract: A connector with enhanced safety includes: a female component defining a stepped housing, a male component with a flange, whereof the outer diameters correspond to those of the stepped housing of the female component, a lock collar transversely mobile in a base of the female component, located at the intake thereof. There is an additional locking cage whereof one wall forms a front cap at the end of the female component, mounted sliding on the base of the lock collar between a connecting position allowing the flange to pass through the front cap of the cage, and a locking position preventing the flange from passing through the front cap, the cage including, parallel to the cap and at the rear thereof, a wire pin whereof the elastic branches define each of the two positions through matching shapes with the female component.

  • Patent number: 6520212
    Abstract: A protective endpiece for the end of a tube (100), the endpiece comprises a sheath (2) about an axis (3) possessing a central housing (4) for receiving the end of the tube (100) and has an open end (5) and a closed end (6). The sheath is provided at its open end (5) with a ring (10) that is detachable from the sheath so that after the sheath (2) has been removed and the end of the tube (100) has been coupled to a piece of equipment (200), the ring forms a stopper on,the end of the tube (100) for closing the gap that exists between the end of the tube (100) and the equipment (200).

  • Patent number: 6517115
    Abstract: The device comprises a tubular insert (1) possessing external means (2) for fixing it in a bore (34) of the rigid element (30) and internal means for axially locking the tube inside the insert (1). The axial locking means comprise a sleeve (69) disposed inside the tubular insert (1) and possessing a broad end arranged to bear against an internal abutment member (75) of the tubular insert (61) and a narrow end that is elastically deformable in a radial direction between a small rest configuration where it forms an abutment for a shoulder (93) of the tube (90) and an enlarged elastically deformed configuration allowing the shoulder of the tube to pass through while it is being inserted.
