ABSTRACT:
A quick connector includes a male member, a female member, an engager claw member and an urging member. The male member includes an engager at an end. The female member includes a receiver opening, and a inner peripheral surface at least. The engager claw member is disposed relatively movably in an axial direction in the female member, and includes a flange, an engager claw adapted for engaging with the engager of the male member, and a projection adapted for engaging with the inner peripheral surface of the female member at least. The urging member is interposed between the female member and the flange of the engager claw member, and urges the engager claw member outward to the receiver opening of female member. The projection of the engager claw member engages with the inner peripheral surface of the female member, and simultaneously the engager claw of the engager claw member engages with the engager of the male member. Hence, the male member and the female member can be connected quickly and firmly in an axial direction as well as in a radial direction by means of the engager claw member and the urging member.
