Abstract:

A quick connector coupling includes a hollow female connector body having a plurality of slots formed therethrough to define a plurality of radial ledges. A male member received in the connector body has an enlarged annular upset. A retainer disposed in the connector body includes locking beams extending between the upset and the radial ledges to secure the male member in the connector body. A latch is hinged about two posts formed on the exterior of the connector body. The latch includes a main body portion extending between a front edge and a rear edge. Legs depending from sides of the latch adjacent the rear edge are mounted over the posts. A latching beam depending from the front edge of the latch enters one of the slots formed in the connector body and is positioned between a radial ledge and the upset to further secure the male member in the connector body. Catch beams depending from sides of the latch adjacent the front edge cam against the outer surface of the connector body and snap into side slots, locking the latch into place.
