In its preferred embodiment, a quick connector (10) for connecting a male conduit (12) to a female receptacle (14) has a pair of waist segments (60 and 62), a body segment (56), and a pair of leg segments (68). Each of the leg segments (68) are defined by a pair of projecting elements (76) which are at least partially compressible toward one another thereby causing the pair of waist segments (60 and 62) to move toward one another. A confirmer ring (114) is provided on the pair of projecting elements (76). Confirmation that the quick connector (10) is properly locked in place is made when the confirmer ring (114) is fully seated within a portion of the opening (18) of female receptacle (14). An alternate embodiment provides for use of the confirmer ring (114) as an installing tool when connecting the male conduit (12) with the female receptacle (14). An additional alternate embodiment allows usage of the confirmer ring (114) as a tool for installation and decoupling of the male conduit (12) into the female receptacle (14), as well as for confirming the connection.
Dans son mode de réalisation préféré, un raccord rapide (10) pour raccorder un conduit mâle (12) à un logement femelle (14) présente une paire de segments centraux (60 et 62), un segment de corps (56) et une paire de segments de branches (68). Les segments de branches (68) sont définis par une paire d'éléments de projection (76) qui peuvent être au moins partiellement comprimés l'un contre l'autre, provoquant ainsi le déplacement l'un vers l'autre des éléments centraux. Une bague de maintien (114) est prévue sur la paire d'éléments se projetant (76). Le maintien du raccord rapide (10) en position est effectué lorsque la bague (114) est totalement logée dans une partie de l'ouverture (18) du logement femelle (14). Un autre mode de réalisation prévoit l'utilisation de la bague (114) comme un outil permettant d'installer et de découpler le conduit mâle (12) dans le logement femelle (14) ainsi que pour maintenir le raccordement.
