QUICK-CONNECT ARRANGEMENT FOR HIGH DENSITY HYDRAULIC LINES FOR ANTI-LOCK BRAKE AND/OR TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS

摘要

A quick-connect arrangement for retaining a plurality of hydraulic lines to counterbored openings in an anti-lock unit body for a hydraulically operated braked system that includes a seal in each of the counterbored openings, a chamfered end on each of the hydraulic lines, each one being sufficiently small to guide the hydraulic line past the seal and an expanded bead on each of the hydraulic lines remote from its respective chamfered end. The quick-connect arrangement further includes a retaining member having a single fastener receiving portion and radially extending slot portions for receiving a respective one of the hydraulic line. Further included is a single fastener which is receivably connected to the anti-lock control unit body through the fastener receiving portion of the retaining member for securing the retaining member and the plurality of hydraulic lines to the anti-lock control unit body.
