CA 2263464

A connector assembly includes a connector (1) having an inner member (2) with first and second open ends and a bore extending therebetween. The inner member (2) is formed of a material which is impervious to a particular fluid flow through the connector assembly. An outer member (3) encapsulates the inner member (2) and is formed of a material dissimilar from the material of the inner member (2), which material resists abrasions and other deleterious elements to which the connector is exposed. Flexible retaining latches (30) are formed integrally on the outer member (3) of the connector (1) and snap over an annular projection (48) formed on a tubular conduit (47) upon insertion of the conduit (47) through the first open end and into the bore of the inner member (2). An elastomeric seal (16) disposed in the bore of the inner member (2) provides a fluid tight seal between the conduit (47) and the inner member (2).

Un ensemble de raccordement comporte un raccord (1) présentant un élément intérieur (2) pourvu de première et deuxième extrémités ouvertes et d'un alésage s'étendant entre celles-ci. L'élément intérieur (2) est constitué d'un matériau imperméable à un écoulement fluidique particulier à travers l'ensemble de raccordement. Un élément extérieur (3) encapsule l'élément intérieur (2) et est constitué d'un matériau différent de celui de l'élément intérieur (2), lequel matériau résiste aux produits abrasifs et à d'autres éléments nuisibles auxquels est exposé le raccord. Des doigts de blocage souples (30) sont formés d'une seule pièce sur l'élément extérieur (3) du raccord (1) et s'encliquettent sur un saillant annulaire (48) formé sur un conduit tubulaire (47), lors de l'insertion de ce dernier par la première extrémité ouverte et jusque dans l'alésage de l'élément intérieur (2). Une garniture élastomère (16) disposée dans l'alésage de l'élément intérieur (2) assure un joint étanche aux fluides entre le conduit (47) et l'élément intérieur (2).
