PCT No. PCT/AU88/00292 Sec. 371 Date May 8, 1989 Sec. 102(e) Date May 8, 1989 PCT Filed Aug. 4, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO89/01109 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 9, 1989.A connector for corrugated pipes or rods includes a housing (2) having an open end (3) for insertion of a pipe or rod into a bore (5). A pair of resilient locking members or fingers (9) are formed in the housing wall and include projections (10) which extend into the bore (5). The projections are so shaped as to lock into a single valley of the pipe or rod corrugations to prevent withdrawal of the pipe or rod. Also disclosed are methods of molding the connector in which the fingers (9) are held and/or forced outwardly from the mold during withdrawal of a central core which forms the bore (5) to avoid damage to the fingers by the core. |
