A quick connector coupling for making a severable connection with a male member in a fluid line includes a connector body having a through bore for receiving the male member having a tubular shape sized to extend into the through bore of the connector body, a retainer releasably securing the male member within the connector body, and a verifier including at least one arm extending outside the connector body. Further, the verifier is coupled to the connector body and is moved to a latched position from an unlatched position when the male member is securely connected with the connector body. The connector body includes at least one verification element, which is at least partially covered by the at least one arm extending from the verifier in the unlatched position. The verification element of the connector body is uncovered and readable when the verifier is moved to the latched position.

Quick connector with verification

A coupling connector has a coupling body as well as a plug lock. The plug lock comprises a retainer and a verifier, wherein the plug lock can be inserted into the coupling body in a radial direction. The verifier has two legs and a back, wherein the ends of the legs facing away from the back are allocated to a bottom of the coupling body. If a coupling plug is inserted into the coupling connector, the plug lock is automatically transferred from a disengaged position into an engaged position. The coupling connector is designed in such a way that bottom-side ends of the legs retain their distance to each other while being deflected by the coupling plug.

Coupling connector with automatically activated retainer

A quick connector for connection to a complementary counterpart comprises a coupling piece and a retainer for a section of a fluid having a coupling center axis defining an axial direction AD, a radial direction RD and a circumferential direction CD. The retainer is allocated to the coupling end, wherein the retainer has at least one retaining element for retaining the counterpart and at least one actuating element for opening the retainer for pulling the counterpart out of the coupling piece. The coupling piece comprises a first flange at the coupling end, wherein the first flange has a flange opening so as to insert a tool into the flange opening so that the tool can exert a force on the retainer and the actuating element, respectively. The flange opening has an outer border, wherein the outer border lies in radial direction RD outward of the flange opening.

Quick connector with tool release

A connector for connecting two fluid-conducting elements, in particular for connecting two motor vehicle pipelines, with a female plug-in part and a male plug-in part that can be plugged into the female plug-in part. The male plug-in part can be fixed on the female plug-in part via at least one fixing element. At least one indicator element is provided, which indicates the properly or completely fixed state of the male plug-in part which has been reached via the fixing element. When the male plug-in part is inserted into the female plug-in part, the indicator element is displaced outward in the radial direction. A radial outer position of the indicator element shows the properly fixed state of the male plug-in part on the female plug-in part.

Connector

A connector for connecting two fluid-conducting elements, with a female plug-in part and a male plug-in part that can be inserted into the female plug-in part, wherein a retainer is hooked up to the female plug-in part, and can be used to fix the male plug-in part to the female plug-in part. The female plug-in part has at least one verification element, in particular in the form of a code, which in the unfixed state is unreadable or incomplete.

Connector for connecting two fluid-conducting elements

Quick connector having a coupling body and a multifunctional part with a retention unit and an indicator. The coupling body includes a head portion at one end and a plug-in portion at the other end, the plug-in portion configured for attaching to a first tube, the head portion having an axial opening for introduction of a counterpart with a circumferential collar. The head portion has at least one radial opening for inserting the multifunctional part, the multifunctional part having a back for manual operation for the purpose of being inserted into the coupling body. The retention unit has two retention legs, and the indicator has two indicator limbs movable independently of the retention legs when inserting the circumferential collar. The indicator limbs and the coupling body are configured so that the indicator can be transferred from a partially inserted preassembly position to a fully inserted assembly position via movement of the indicator limbs.

Quick connector with an indicator

A connector for connection between two fluid-conveying elements, in particular for connection between two motor vehicle pipes, with a female plug-in part and a male plug-in part which is insertable into the female plug-in part. A retainer is connected to the female plug-in part, the retainer allowing the male plug-in part to be fixed, in the inserted state, to the female plug-in part. The retainer may be pivoted from an open position to a fixing position&#x2014;and vice versa&#x2014;about a pivot axis arranged in the region of the outer surface of the female plug-in part.

Connector for connection between two fluid-conveying elements

A tubing for a fluid medium of motor vehicles, in particular for an aqueous urea solution, comprises a tube, at least one heating wire, and a plug arranged on a tube end of the tube. The plug has a plug shank and a housing which surrounds the tube end and the heating wire. The plug shank comprises a latching means, preferably a collar, for latching in a connector. The tube has an inner tube and a contact element, wherein the heating wire is arranged between the inner tube and the contact element. The contact element brings the heating wire into contact with the inner tube, and the housing partially surrounds the contact element. A first segment of the heating wire runs on the tube end between the contact element and the inner tube, wherein a second segment of the heating wire runs between the contact element and the housing.

Heated tubing with plug, and a method for operating this tubing

A tubing for a fluid medium of motor vehicles, particularly for an aqueous urea solution, comprises a tube and a connector arranged on one tube end of the tube. The connector has a connecting part, a heating wire, and a housing which encloses the connecting part and the heating wire. The connecting part comprises a retaining element for an engaging connection of a plug that can be plugged into the connecting part. The heating wire extends at least from the connecting end associated with the tube end into the intermediate section, wherein at least along the intermediate section of the connecting part, the connector is preferably free of alignment elements arranged in or on the connecting part and used for aligning the heating wire.

Tubing comprising a connector as well as a method for operating said tubing

A tube end having an outwardly projecting ridge is secured in a fitting having a body formed with a seat centered on an axis and open axially rearwardly. The tube end is coaxially engageable in the seat, and a retaining clip on the body extends secantally across the seat and can move between an outer spread position engaging a respective inner surface of the seat and an inner retaining position spaced radially inward from the respective inner surface. The tube end when fully axially inserted in the seat is engaged axially outward of the ridge by the clip. A latch element can move between an outer freeing position generally clear of the clip and an inner locking position engaged outward of the clip between same and the respective inner surface and preventing the clip from moving from the inner retaining position to the outer spread position.
