Slip-out preventive unit of supply exhaust pipe

Abstract

A slip-out preventive unit of a supply exhaust pipe assembly with a supply exhaust pipe forming a faucet at one end and forming an insertion port at the other end. The faucet having a cut window to allow the lock portion of a lock member to pass through the faucet to engage a circumferential groove of the insertion port. A slip-out prevention unit of which the lock member is a component, to guide and constrain the lock member to engage the circumferential groove, resulting in the holding of the insertion port within the faucet preventing unwanted separation after connection of the assembly. A slide guide allows movement of the lock member in an axial direction of the faucet where the tip of the lock member may be constrained from radial movement of the engagement portion of the lock member by a locking bag wall upon an attempt to separate the insert portion from the faucet. The insert portion being insertable and removable of the faucet when the lock member is in a withdrawn position relative to the locking bag wall, thus allowing the engagement portion of the lock member to be radially displaced by the end of the insertion port or the slope of the circumferential groove of the insert port as it is inserted or removed from the faucet respectively. The locking member being moved to its withdrawn position either by direct force acting upon the lock member from the insertion port as it is inserted into the faucet for connection of the unit, or by an external operator applied force against the lock member prior to removal of the insertion port from the faucet.
