Abstract
In a quick connector of the present invention, each of a pair of retaining legs includes a guide protrusion guided by the outer peripheral face of an annular boss to spreadingly deform each of the pair of the retaining legs when a pushing-in load is applied to a retainer in a state where the retainer is located at an initial position and in a state where a pipe is inserted into a normal position of the connector body and at the same time releasing the movement restriction of the retainer from the initial position to a confirmation position by the spreading deformation of each of the pair of the retaining legs.
