Abstract: When a pipe is inserted into a connector main body of a quick connector, first leg parts of a retainer are deformed and expanded by pressing force in the axial direction on tapered surfaces of the first leg parts caused by an annular protrusion of the pipe, and the annular protrusion of the pipe can pass through the first leg parts in the insertion direction. When the pipe releases from the normal position, the retainer moves in a prescribed direction from a standard position, the first leg parts make contact with a first guide of the connector main body, and the first leg parts are deformed so as to expand, and due to the deformation and expansion of the first leg parts the annular protrusion of the pipe can pass through the first leg parts in the release direction.

Abstract: A resin connector (10) includes a tubular connector main body portion (11) which is formed to contain a reinforcing filler in a main portion base material resin, and a tubular connector end portion (12) which is formed of a end portion base material resin without containing the reinforcing filler or containing the reinforcing filler at a lower proportion than the connector main body portion (11) and is joined to the connector main body portion (11) to constitute a tubular end portion. The resin tube (20) is formed of a material having a higher absorption rate of a laser beam than the connector end portion (12) and is fitted to the connector end portion (12) to be welded to an inner peripheral surface or an outer peripheral surface of the connector end portion (12) and not to be welded to the connector main body portion (11).

Abstract: A connector includes: a tube body formed in a tubular shape having a first opening and a second opening at both ends thereof, a first opening side of the tube body being connectable to an end of a first pipe, a second opening side of the tube body being connectable to an end of a second pipe, the tube body allowing a fluid to flow therethrough between the first opening and the second opening; a temperature detection element embedded in a tubular part of the tube body and configured to detect a temperature of the fluid flowing through the tube body; and a terminal electrically connected to the temperature detection element and exposed to outside of the tube body.

Abstract: A connector that is in a fuel supply system capable of supplying a high-pressure fuel, and may reduce pulsation in a low-pressure pipe with a simple structure and extend the life of a mold is provided. A valve of the connector includes a valve seat contact surface and a tapering through hole. The valve seat contact surface axially separates from an annular valve seat and forms a forward-direction flow path due to pressure of the low-pressure fuel when the high-pressure fuel does not flow in reverse, and may come into contact with the annular valve seat when the high-pressure fuel flows in reverse. The tapering through hole is formed farther radially inward than the valve seat contact surface, forms an orifice flow path having a smaller cross-sectional area than the forward-direction flow path, and allows a reverse flow of the high-pressure fuel when the high-pressure fuel flows in reverse.
