CONNECTOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/052153
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a connector by which a coupling verification mechanism is configured using a comparatively small number of components and by which a more compact size is realized by reducing the amount of movement of a locking member that fixes a corresponding member in a non-detachable manner. The connector (1) is equipped with a housing (3) that has a through-hole (4) into which a pipe (2) is inserted, a locking member (5) that is installed on the housing and that, in a locked position, fixes the pipe in a non-detachable manner by being driven by the pipe from an initial position into said locked position; and an identifying member (6) that is disposed in the housing and is provided with indicating sections (74, 74) having a different color than the locking member; and is configured such that the locking member covers the indicating sections in the initial position while exposing the indicating sections in the locked position.
