CA 2211379

A connector is provided for securing a conduit to a fluid source, which source includes a noncircular cylindrical pedestal having a fluid source outlet extending therethrough and an annular groove surrounding the pedestal. The connector includes an inlet port engageable with the fluid source outlet and an outlet port in fluid communication with the inlet port and engageable with the conduit. A collet includes a base, and a plurality of fingers extending from the base substantially parallel to an axis of the inlet port, each finger being disposed a common radial distance from the axis of the inlet port and including a radially extending pawl spaced from the base. An annular cam has a noncircular cylindrical receptacle correspondingly engageable with the noncircular cylindrical pedestal of the fluid source and having an axis coincident with the axis of the inlet port. The cam is seated within the collet and disposed to rotate about the coincident axes, so that when the pedestal is engaged with the receptacle, rotation of the pedestal causes the cam to rotate. The cam includes a contact surface which, when the cam is rotated by rotation of the pedestal, abuts the fingers of the collet and forces the pawls away from the coincident axes into the annular groove to secure the conduit to the fluid source.
