Abstract

A universal fluid line interlocking connector is disclosed (10, 20). The connector (10) may be fitted to an identical connector (20) so as to interconnect two fluid lines. The connector (10) does away with the requirements for both male and female components and provides a housing (10) having a locking lug (15) located at a maximum diameter position. The locking lug (15) has a claw position (18) located at its remote end. A seal (12) is provided radially internally of the locking lug (15). The seal (12) reacts to internal fluid pressure of the connector (10) to provide a tighter seal as pressure increases. One half of the connector (20) may be threadingly fastened to a fluid control device or outlet, or formed integrally with a fluid delivery means such as a spray nozzle for example, while the other half (10) is sealingly secured to an end of a fluid line (42) by means of a retaining claw (43) which is tightened onto the fluid line (42) by means of a retaining ring (44). The connectors (10, 20) are joined by inserting the locking lug (15) of each connector (10, 20) into the recess (19) of the other and rotating one of the connectors (10, 20). Each recess (19) provides an annular ramp with a crest such that positive locking occurs when the connectors are joined.
