ABSTRACT:
Starting from a base body (1) and a cover (2) swivel-mounted thereon, enclosing inside the connector itself, wherein the cover (2) incorporates side projections (5) which, in combination with the deformable character of said cover, allow for the unlocking thereof with regard to the body, for the opening and closing thereof, the cover (2) incorporates a safety element (8) materialized in a stiff, U-shaped part, adaptable to the upper portion of the cover in correspondence with the location area of the side projections (5), such that the middle branch of said element (8) can be substantially spaced from the cover (2) in a pre-assembly position, or be adapted to said cover in the working position, in which its side branches (9) penetrate inside the cover (2), internally adapting to the side projections (5), stiffening them to make the accidental opening of the cover impossible. The safety element (8) furthermore incorporates ribs stabilizing it in both the pre-assembly position and working position.
