1. A kit comprising:
a quick connector of a pump including:
a female member forming an outer cylinder;a pipe-shaped male member extending from a side wall of the pump and configured to be inserted into the female member, the male member including an annular flange portion around an outer periphery of the male member; anda retaining member to be attached to the flange portion of the male member to connect the male member and the female member, the retaining member including:
an extending portion extending from the flange portion in a direction opposite to a tip of the male member and being elastically deformable toward and away from an axis line of the male member;an operated portion provided at a terminal end of the extending portion; anda claw portion provided on the extending portion at a position closer to the flange portion than the operated portion, the female member including a window portion with which the claw portion of the retaining member comes into engagement in a state where the operated portion of the retaining member is located outside the female member when the male member is inserted into the female member, the engagement being releasable by elastically deforming the operated portion of the retaining member toward the axis line of the male member; and a release tool comprising a plate-shaped tool body having a pair of operating portions defining an opening that extends from an edge of the plate-shaped tool body toward a central portion of the plate-shaped tool body, the pair of operating portions being configured to come into direct contact with the operated portion of the retaining member to press the operated portion toward the axis line of the male member so as to release connection between the male member and the female member, the opening having a greater width at the edge than at the central portion, wherein, when the male member and the female member are in a connected state, a space is defined between the side wall and the female member, wherein the space is positioned closer to the side wall of the pump than to the window portion, wherein a thickness of the plate-shaped tool body of the release tool is smaller than the space, and wherein the quick connector can be released by inserting the plate-shaped tool body of the release tool into the space such that an inner surface of each of the operating portions directly contacts an outer surface of the operated portion within the space. |
