Abstract
A connector connected with a tube having a relatively small diameter, say about less than 20 mm, for supplying oil, air, or the like. The body of the connector has a connecting tubular wall, a communication hole formed in the tubular wall, and a large stepped chamber formed along the axis of the body. A jaw wall protrudes outwardly from the rear end of the chamber. One or more seal rings are mounted in the chamber. A bush member is inserted in the rear portion of the chamber. A socket member has a base wall from which resilient claw walls protrude. The front ends of the claw walls extend into the chamber and are in resilient contact with the outwardly swelling annular portion of the tube.
