Abstract

The connector, comprising male (1) and female (2) tube couplings with a lock (3) that screws onto the female coupling to hold the two together, has the lock made from a material with a transverse elastic deformation capacity so that it grips the female coupling when tightened. The lock and female coupling have threaded surfaces (3a, 2b) shaped to compress the female coupling when the lock is rotated.

Description

L'invention concerne les connecteurs à usage médical pour raccorder desThe invention relates to connectors for medical use for connecting

conduits de liquide, qui comprennent un raccord tubulaire conique mâle, un raccord tubulaire conique femelle dans lequel peut s'emboîter le raccord 5 mâle, et un verrou tubulaire monté mobile sur le raccord mâle et vissable sur le raccord femelle pour maintenir les  liquid conduits, which comprise a male conical tubular connector, a female conical tubular connector into which the male connector can fit, and a tubular latch mounted movably on the male connector and screwable on the female connector to maintain the

deux raccords emboîtés.two nested fittings.

Les cônes mâle et femelle et le verrou vissable sont  The male and female cones and the screw lock are

normalisés (EN 20594-1, EN 1707).standardized (EN 20594-1, EN 1707).

La figure 1 du dessin joint est un schéma d'une réalisation connue d'un tel connecteur, vue en coupe axiale. On a représenté sur cette figure l'extrémité (la) du raccord tubulaire conique mâle (1), l'extrémité (2a) du 15 raccord tubulaire conique femelle (2), et le verrou tubulaire (3) monté à coulisse sur l'extrémité (la) du raccord mâle. Le raccord mâle présente une collerette externe (lb) qui constitue un arrêtoir pour le verrou qui présente un épaulement interne (3b) en sorte que le contact 20 de l'épaulement avec la collerette détermine une position de fin de course du verrou. Le verrou présente également un filetage intérieur (3a) apte à coopérer avec le filetage extérieur correspondant (2b) du raccord femelle pour visser le verrou sur le raccord femelle. A l'état vissé, le verrou 25 est bloqué et serré contre l'arrêtoir qui est encastré dans le verrou, ce qui constitue une liaison forte " A " entre  Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing is a diagram of a known embodiment of such a connector, seen in axial section. This figure shows the end (la) of the male conical tubular fitting (1), the end (2a) of the female conical tubular fitting (2), and the tubular latch (3) mounted to slide on the end (la) of the male connector. The male connector has an external flange (lb) which constitutes a retainer for the latch which has an internal shoulder (3b) so that the contact of the shoulder with the flange determines an end of travel position for the latch. The lock also has an internal thread (3a) capable of cooperating with the corresponding external thread (2b) of the female connector to screw the lock onto the female connector. In the screwed state, the lock 25 is blocked and tightened against the retainer which is embedded in the lock, which constitutes a strong connection "A" between

le verrou et le raccord mâle.the lock and the male connector.

Les filetages du raccord femelle et du verrou par contre sont conçus en sorte qu'il y ait un jeu entre eux ce 30 qui constitue une liaison faible " B " entre le verrou et  The threads of the female connector and of the lock, on the other hand, are designed so that there is a clearance between them, which constitutes a weak connection "B" between the lock and

le raccord femelle.the female connector.

On obtient ainsi un bon blocage du verrou sur le raccord mâle pour empêcher un dévissage accidentel. Par contre, une rotation involontaire du raccord femelle peut entraîner une déconnexion de ce raccord par rapport au verrou. La présente invention a pour objet un connecteur  This gives good locking of the lock on the male connector to prevent accidental unscrewing. On the other hand, an involuntary rotation of the female connector can lead to a disconnection of this connector relative to the lock. The subject of the present invention is a connector
