<p>A stuffer pin (10) for mounting seals (60) and a retainer element (66) in a quick connector (70) used with fluid conduits. The stuffer pin (10) includes an integral shaft (12), an enlarged stop (14) and a handle (16). Annular seal mounting portions (28) are formed on the shaft (12) for releasably supporting seal elements (60). A ridge (24) is formed on the shaft (12) for relasably engaging and mounting a retainer (66) on the shaft (12). Resilient arms (30) extend axially from an end of the shaft (12) and have a larger nominal outer diameter than the diameter of the shaft (12) to retain the seal elements (60) on the shaft (12) prior to insertion into a bore (78) in a fluid carrying member (70). The resilient arms (30) are bent radially inward when contacting a stepped bore in the fluid carrying member (70) to enable release of the seals (60) and retainer elements (66) during withdrawal of the stuffer pin (10) from the bore.</p> |
