A connector for connecting to a tube is provided. The connector includes a head, a slide provided with a passage orifice, and a seal ring disposed between the head and the slide. The head includes a housing capable of receiving a first end of the slide. The slide received in the housing includes: a first position, called assembly position, in which the slide is capable of receiving a tube via a second end of the slide such that the tube passes through the seal ring; and a second position, called working position, in which the seal ring is likely to be compressed by the first end of the slide. The slide is displaced from the first position to the second position under the effect of a thrust force.

Connector

A coupling device for a tubular element comprises a hollow body having a housing, a cartridge locked in the housing in a first position, the cartridge then protruding from the hollow body, the cartridge having an outer wall and an inner wall delimiting an inner channel, the inner channel having a first end forming an inlet for receiving the tubular element and a second end provided with an obstacle, an annular seal and a fastening ring disposed in the inner channel in order to secure the tubular element in the inner channel in sealed manner. The coupling device comprises an unlocking system configured to allow, when the tubular element exerts a force against the obstacle, the unlocking of the cartridge and its movement to a second position, in which the cartridge is entirely incorporated in the hollow body.

Device for connecting a tubular element

A tube coupling including a female connector a body into which a male connector having an annular collar is inserted axially, and a connection element is provided. The connection element extends in a transverse direction within the body of the female connector. The connection element is designed to interfere mechanically with the collar during insertion of the male connector and to move transversely of its own accord towards the inside of the female connector. The connection element includes a locking hook that cooperates with a locking catch provided in the female connector. The hook goes past the catch as a result of the mechanical interference of the collar that drives axial and radial elastic deformation of the connection element. The hook locks against the catch when the connection element is fully pushed into the female connector.

Secure tube coupling with automatic connection

A tube coupling including a female connector a body into which a male connector having an annular collar is inserted axially, and a connection element is provided. The connection element extends in a transverse direction within the body of the female connector. The connection element is designed to interfere mechanically with the collar during insertion of the male connector and to move transversely of its own accord towards the inside of the female connector. The connection element includes a locking hook that co-operates with a locking catch provided in the female connector. The hook goes past the catch as a result of the mechanical interference of the collar that drives axial and radial elastic deformation of the connection element. The hook locks against the catch when the connection element is fully pushed into the female connector.

A tubular coupling comprising a female connector () into which a male connector () provided with an annular collar () is designed to be inserted axially, and a connection element () 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 () that, by resilient return, exerts pressure on a guide ramp (), so as to generate a thrust force that extends the movement of the connection element towards the inside of the female connector.

Tubular connector with an automatic connection

A fluid communication device including a tubular body which enables the circulation of a fluid and which has an end piece that is connectable to a plug-in pipe having an outer annular locking groove. An assembly head includes a receiving chamber in which an end piece of the tubular body is mounted. The assembly head includes a U-shaped locking element having two arms that are inserted into the receiving chamber. An intermediate ring is slidably mounted in the receiving chamber to achieve a pre-opening of the locking element just before the plug-in pipe reaches a position in which it engages with the end piece.
