CONSTITUTION:A guide tapered part 4 whose diameter is gradually increased rearward, is formed in a cylindrical plug 1, and a locking groove 5 is formed in the guide tapered part 4. A cut-out groove 6 is formed being opened to the inside and outside a cylindrical socket 2, in the wall part of the latter. A U-like spring ring 7 is inserted in the cut-out groove 6 from the outside of the socket 2, striding over the same. The part of the spring ring 7 inserted into the cut-out groove 6 is inserted into the socket 2 through the cut-out groove 6 so as to form a resilient locking part 8. The resilient locking part 8 of the spring ring 7 is inserted into the locking groove 5 in the plug 1 inserted into the socket 2. Thus, the connection can be completed only by inserting the plug 1 into the socket 2.

A cut groove that opens inside and outside the socket is provided on a wall portion of the cylindrical socket, and a substantially U-shaped spring ring that is inserted into the cut groove across the socket from the outside of the socket is provided, and the cut groove of the spring ring The elastic insertion part of the spring ring is engaged with the engagement groove part of the plug inserted inside the socket by making the part inserted into the socket protrude into the inside of the socket from the cut groove. The elastic locking portion is elastically locked in the locking groove portion for connection only by inserting the plug therein, and the connection can be made by one-touch. Moreover, such a structure for one-touch connection is a structure in which the groove is formed in the cylindrical socket and the spring ring is inserted from the outside of the socket, and the structure is simple and the assembly is simplified. Is.

Further, arc-shaped elastic locking portions having concave portions are provided at opposing portions of both leg portions of the substantially U-shaped spring ring. Since the arcuate retaining recesses are formed in an arc shape in which the portions facing each other are recessed, even if some elastic force acts after the connection and the elastic locking part comes out of the locking groove part, the elastic locking part remains When it comes out, the next retaining groove is elastically locked in the locking groove to prevent the spring ring from coming off further, and the connection between the socket and plug by the spring ring is still maintained, and the connection is held securely. Also, even before the plug is fitted into the socket, the spring ring can be removed from the socket with the retaining recess once the spring ring is attached to the socket. That.

In addition, leg portions are provided so as to project from both ends of the base portion to form a substantially U-shaped spring ring, and the base portion is bent in a substantially U-shape in a direction substantially perpendicular to the leg portions. Then, you can open both legs outward with a small force, and you can easily connect by inserting the plug into the socket.Also, when attaching the spring ring to the socket, pinch the U-shaped base with your fingers and loosen it. It can be installed without it.
