ABSTRACT:
A connector having a male part and a female part, the latter having a hollow body and a hollow housing portion connected thereto to form a passage for flow of fluid. The portion is provided with at least one detent on the inside wall and has an opening on the end remote from the body. The detent is provided with a sloping surface which flares in the direction of the opening and also has an abutment surface facing toward the body.
The male part has a front end which is inserted into the opening and carries an inclined surface which is complementary to the sloping surface of the female part. In a manner analogous to the female part, the male part is provided with an abutment facing away from the front end and adapted to abut the abutment surface on the female part when the connector is in closed position.
