Title:
QUICK-CONNECT END FITTING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004106799
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The end fitting (10) comprises a body (16) capable of being fixed on a tube (12) in a sealed manner, and comprises a locking clip (22), which can be elastically deformed between a locking state, in which at least one locking area (24A, 24B) of the clip can latch onto a latching surface (14) of the tube, and a released state. The clip (22) is placed on the wall of the body (16) that has at least one transversal slot (30A, 30B) through which the locking area (24A, 24B) projects toward the inside of the body when the clip is in a locking state. In addition, at least one reinforcement (32A, 32B; 36A, 36B) is provided, which is placed at the end of the slot and of which a bottom part forms a releasing ramp (34A, 34B; 38A, 38B) on which a releasing area (35A, 35B; 37A, 37B) can slide thereby enabling the clip to move from its locked state and into a released state. The width of the releasing area is greater than the width of the locking area as well as the width of the slot, but is less than or equal to the width of the reinforcement, these widths being axially measured.
