Abstract
A hose connector comprises a connector main body (12, 112, 190), a lock member (14, 82, 88, 94, 114), a cam mechanism (70, 170: 68, 168, 194) that converts the rotational movement of the lock member into an axial movement thereof, and clamping features (24; 42, 142) formed in the inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the lock member and the connector main body which clamps a hose end by moving axially toward each other. The hose end can be connected to a pipe or a pipe-like member with ease in a reliable manner and without requiring a tool.
