TUBULAR CONNECTOR WITH AN AUTOMATIC CONNECTION

摘要

A tubular coupling comprising a female connector (2) into which a male connector (6) provided with an annular collar (7) is designed to be inserted axially, and a connection element (9) that extends in a transverse direction in the female connector. The connection element is designed to interfere mechanically with the collar while the male connector is being inserted into the female connector, and to move by itself in said transverse direction towards the inside of the female connector. In addition, the connection element and the female connector are also designed so that, after the reaction to the radial resilient deformation of the connection element on the collar of the male connector, they come to bear against each other in the manner of a projection (14) that, by resilient return, exerts pressure on a guide ramp (15), so as to generate a thrust force that extends the movement of the connection element towards the inside of the female connector.

1. A tubular coupling comprising a female connector (2) into which a male connector (6) provided with an annular collar (7) is designed to be inserted axially, and a connection element (9) that extends in a transverse direction (T) in the female connector and that is designed to be deformed resiliently and radially towards the outside of the female connector by mechanically interfering with said collar while the male connector is being inserted into the female connector, and, in reaction to this radial resilient deformation, to move by itself in said transverse direction towards the inside of the female connector, said tubular coupling being characterized in that said connection element and said female connector are also designed so that, after the reaction to the radial resilient deformation of the connection element on the collar of the male connector, they come to bear against each other in the manner of a projection (14) that, by resilient return, exerts pressure on a guide ramp (15), so as to generate a thrust force that extends the movement of said connection element in said transverse direction towards the inside of the female connector.
