Description

ロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにそのロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタの雄コネクタおよび雌コネクタLock type luer taper connector and male and female connectors of the lock type luer taper connector

　この発明は、医療機器や理化学機器等における管路の接続に用いられるロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにそのロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタの雄コネクタおよび雌コネクタに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a lock-type luer taper connector used for connecting pipelines in medical equipment, physics and chemistry equipment, and the like, and a male connector and a female connector of the lock-type luer taper connector.

　ルアーテーパーコネクタとは、ＩＳＯ（国際標準化機構）５９４－１で基準を規定されたもので、６％テーパー（１９世紀のドイツ国医療機器メーカ名に由来して「ルアーテーパー」と呼ばれている）の裁頭円錐状の接続面を外周面に持つ筒状部を有する雄コネクタと、そのルアーテーパーの裁頭円錐状の接続面を内周面に持つ筒状部を有する雌コネクタとを組み合わせたものであり、雌コネクタに雄コネクタを差し込んでルアーテーパーの接続面同士を密に嵌合させるだけで気密な接続が簡単にできるため、医療機器や理化学機器等の管路の接続に多用されている。 The luer taper connector is a standard defined by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 594-1, and is called 6% taper ("Lure taper" derived from the name of a German medical device manufacturer in the 19th century) ) And a male connector having a cylindrical portion having a truncated conical connection surface on the outer peripheral surface and a female connector having a cylindrical portion having a truncated conical connection surface of the luer taper on the inner peripheral surface. It is easy to make an airtight connection simply by inserting a male connector into a female connector and closely fitting the luer taper connection surfaces to each other, so it is often used for connecting pipelines for medical equipment, physics and chemistry equipment, etc. ing.

　そしてロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタとは、上記ルアーテーパーコネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを防止するための構造を持つもので、例えばＩＳＯ５９４－２で基準を規定されたものでは、図１４（ａ），（ｂ）および（ｃ）に雌コネクタの平面図、正面図および縦断面図を示すとともに、図１４（ｄ）に雄コネクタの縦断面図を示すように、雄コネクタ１が、ルアーテーパーの裁頭円錐状の接続面２ａを外周面に持つ筒状部２と、その筒状部２の基部の小径部２ｂに回動可能に挿通されてその基部２ｂの大径部である外周フランジ２ｃとの掛合により軸線方向移動を規制される掛合部３ｅとともに二条ネジの雌ネジ３ａを持つナット３とを有し、また雌コネクタ４が、ルアーテーパーの裁頭円錐状の接続面５ａを内周面に持つ筒状部５と、その筒状部５の先端部から互いに対抗する半径方向外方へ一体に突出した二つの突条６とを有し、雄コネクタ１のナット３の二条ネジの雌ネジ３ａを雌コネクタ４の先端部の二つの突条６に螺合させてそのナット３を締め込むことで雄コネクタ１と雌コネクタ４との接続面２ａ，５ａ同士の密な嵌合を維持するようにしている。 The lock-type luer taper connector has a structure for preventing unintentional loosening and detachment of the luer taper connector. For example, the standard defined by ISO 594-2 is shown in FIGS. b) and (c) show a plan view, a front view, and a longitudinal sectional view of the female connector, and as shown in FIG. A cylindrical portion 2 having a conical connection surface 2a on the outer peripheral surface, and an outer peripheral flange 2c that is rotatably inserted into a small diameter portion 2b of the base portion of the cylindrical portion 2 and is a large diameter portion of the base portion 2b. And a nut 3 having a female thread 3a of a double thread as well as a hooking portion 3e whose axial direction movement is restricted by the hooking, and the female connector 4 has a luer-tapered truncated conical connecting surface 5a on the inner peripheral surface The cylindrical part with And two projecting ridges 6 integrally projecting radially outward from the tip of the cylindrical portion 5, and the female screw 3 a of the double thread of the nut 3 of the male connector 1 is connected to the female connector 4. The

connection surfaces

2a and 5a of the male connector 1 and the female connector 4 are kept in close contact with each other by tightening the nuts 3 by screwing them into the two protrusions 6 at the tip of the connector.

　しかしながら、このＩＳＯ５９４－２で規定されたロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタでは、ナット３の掛合部３ｅが、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部の小径部２ｂに密に挿通されるとともにその基部の大径部である外周フランジ２ｃと密接して、ナット３が雄コネクタ１の筒状部２と共回りし易くなっている場合に、雌コネクタ４と雄コネクタ１との一方を誤って他方に対して捻ってしまうと、ナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合状態が緩んでコネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを生ずることがあり、特に、雌コネクタ４側が三方活栓等の大きな構造体となっていて雄コネクタ１側が捻れた場合等に、その構造体が捩れに追従できないことからコネクタの緩みや外れを生じやすいという問題があった。 However, in the lock-type luer taper connector defined by this ISO 594-2, the engaging portion 3e of the nut 3 is tightly inserted into the small diameter portion 2b of the base portion of the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1 and the base portion is large. When the nut 3 is in close contact with the outer peripheral flange 2c, which is the diameter portion, so that the nut 3 can easily rotate together with the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1, one of the female connector 4 and the male connector 1 is mistaken for the other. If it is twisted, the threaded state of the female screw 3a of the nut 3 and the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4 may be loosened, causing unintentional loosening or disengagement of the connector. When the male connector 1 side is twisted and the structure is large, there is a problem that the connector is liable to loosen or come off because the structure cannot follow the twist.

　このため従来、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部に接続面２ａを覆って先端部に向かう切欠きを持つ筒状のカラー部を設けるとともに、雌コネクタ４の筒状部５の先端部に突条６の代わりに直径方向に突出する突出部を設け、雌コネクタ４に雄コネクタ１を挿入する際に雌コネクタ４の突出部を雄コネクタ１のカラー部の切欠きに嵌合させて雌コネクタ４と雄コネクタ１との接合面５ａ，２ａを相互に回り止めし、さらに雄コネクタ１にカラー部を覆うように設けたナット３を、雌コネクタ４の筒状部５の基部寄りに設けた突条６と螺号させて、ルアーテーパーコネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを防止するようにしたロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタも提案されている（特開２００９－１８９６３９号公報）。 For this reason, conventionally, a cylindrical collar portion having a notch directed to the distal end portion covering the connection surface 2a is provided at the base portion of the tubular portion 2 of the male connector 1, and at the distal end portion of the tubular portion 5 of the female connector 4. Instead of the protrusion 6, a protrusion protruding in the diameter direction is provided, and when the male connector 1 is inserted into the female connector 4, the protrusion of the female connector 4 is fitted into the notch of the collar portion of the male connector 1. The

joint surfaces

5a and 2a of the connector 4 and the male connector 1 are prevented from rotating together, and a nut 3 provided on the male connector 1 so as to cover the collar portion is provided near the base portion of the tubular portion 5 of the female connector 4 There has also been proposed a lock-type luer taper connector that is screwed with the protruding ridge 6 to prevent unintentional loosening and disengagement of the luer taper connector (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2009-189639).

　しかしながら上記特許文献記載の従来のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタでは、雌コネクタ４と雄コネクタ１との接合面５ａ，２ａを相互に回り止めしているものの、それらに対してナット３を回り止めしていないため、ナット３が手で持たれたりして固定された状態で雌コネクタ４と雄コネクタ１との一方が捻られたり、あるいは雌コネクタ４と雄コネクタ１との一方が固定された状態でナット３に捻り力が加わったりすると、雌コネクタ４と雄コネクタ１とに対してナット３が相対的に回動し、ナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合状態が緩んでコネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを生じてしまうという問題があった。 However, in the conventional lock-type luer taper connector described in the above-mentioned patent document, the

joint surfaces

5a and 2a of the female connector 4 and the male connector 1 are prevented from rotating together, but the nut 3 is prevented from rotating against them. Therefore, one of the female connector 4 and the male connector 1 is twisted while the nut 3 is held and fixed by hand, or one of the female connector 4 and the male connector 1 is fixed. When a twisting force is applied to the nut 3, the nut 3 rotates relative to the female connector 4 and the male connector 1, and the female screw 3 a of the nut 3 and the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4 are screwed together. There is a problem that the connector loosens and unintentional loosening or disconnection of the connector occurs.

　また、雄コネクタ１のカラー部の切欠きをナット３が覆っているため、雌コネクタ４の突出部を雄コネクタ１のカラー部の切欠きに嵌合させるのが容易でなく、その嵌合をさせずに誤ってナット３を締め込んでしまうと、雌コネクタ４の突出部が雄コネクタ１のカラー部の先端面に当接してルアーテーパーコネクタの接続が不十分になるという問題もあった。 Further, since the nut 3 covers the notch of the collar portion of the male connector 1, it is not easy to fit the protruding portion of the female connector 4 into the notch of the collar portion of the male connector 1, and the fitting is not possible. If the nut 3 is tightened by mistake without causing the protrusion, the protruding portion of the female connector 4 comes into contact with the front end surface of the collar portion of the male connector 1 and the connection of the luer taper connector becomes insufficient.

　そして上記の問題を回避するために、ナット３をスライドさせてコネクタ１のカラー部の切欠きを露出させ得るようにすることも考えられるが、そのようにしても、雌コネクタ４の突出部が小さいため、依然として雌コネクタ４の突出部を雄コネクタ１のカラー部の切欠きに嵌合させるのが容易でなく、しかも上記のようにすると、雄コネクタ１の基部の小径部２ｂをナット３のスライド分長くする必要があって雄コネクタ１が長くなってしまうという問題があった。 In order to avoid the above problem, it is conceivable that the nut 3 can be slid so as to expose the notch of the collar portion of the connector 1. Since it is small, it is still not easy to fit the protruding portion of the female connector 4 into the notch of the collar portion of the male connector 1, and when the above is performed, the small diameter portion 2 b of the base portion of the male connector 1 is connected to the nut 3. There is a problem that the male connector 1 becomes longer because it is necessary to lengthen the slide.

A male connector having a cylindrical portion with a luer tapered truncated conical connection surface on the outer peripheral surface;
A female connector having a cylindrical portion having a luer tapered truncated conical connection surface on the inner peripheral surface;
The male connector has a nut that is rotatably inserted into the base portion of the cylindrical portion of the male connector and whose axial movement is restricted by engagement with the base portion and has a female screw,
The female connector has a protrusion that protrudes radially outward from the distal end of the tubular portion of the female connector,
A lock type in which the female screw of the nut is screwed into the protrusion at the tip of the female connector and the nut is tightened to maintain the fitting between the connection surfaces of the male connector and the female connector. In the female connector of the luer taper connector,
The protrusion of the female connector is in close contact with or engaged with the female screw of the nut in a screwed state of the protrusion of the female connector and the female screw of the nut, and resists relative rotation between the nut and the female connector. It has the lock part which gives.

　かかるこの発明の第１の態様におけるロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタおよび雌コネクタにあっては、雌コネクタに雄コネクタを差し込んでルアーテーパーの接続面同士を密に嵌合させることで気密な接続が達成される。また、雄コネクタの筒状部の基部に回動可能に挿通されてその基部との掛合により軸線方向移動を規制されるナットの雌ネジを、雌コネクタの先端部の突条に螺合させてそのナットを締め込むことで、雄コネクタと雌コネクタとの接続面同士の密な嵌合が維持される。そしてナットの雌ネジと雌コネクタの突条との少なくとも一方に設けられたロック部が、それらナットの雌ネジと雌コネクタの突条との螺合状態で他方と密接もしくは掛合してナットと雌コネクタとの相対回動に抵抗を与える。 In the lock-type luer taper connector and the male connector and the female connector thereof according to the first aspect of the present invention, the male connector is inserted into the female connector, and the connection surfaces of the luer taper are closely fitted to each other so as to be airtight. Connection is achieved. In addition, a female screw of a nut that is rotatably inserted into the base portion of the cylindrical portion of the male connector and is restricted from moving in the axial direction by engaging with the base portion is screwed into the protrusion at the tip portion of the female connector. By tightening the nut, the close fitting of the connection surfaces of the male connector and the female connector is maintained. Then, the lock portion provided on at least one of the female screw of the nut and the protrusion of the female connector is in close contact with or engaged with the other while the female screw of the nut and the protrusion of the female connector are engaged with each other. Provides resistance to relative rotation with the connector.

　従って、この発明の第１の態様におけるロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタおよび雌コネクタによれば、ナットと雄コネクタとの一方が手で持たれたりして固定された状態で他方が捻られようとしても、あるいは雌コネクタと雄コネクタとの一方が固定された状態で他方のコネクタまたはナットに捻り力が加わっても、さらには雌コネクタが固定された状態で雄コネクタに捻り力が加わってナットが雄コネクタと共回りしようとしても、ロック部がナットと雌コネクタとの相対回動に抵抗を与えるので、雌コネクタに対してナットが回動してしまうことがないため、ナットの雌ネジと雌コネクタの突条との螺合状態が緩んでコネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを生じてしまうのを防止することができる。 Therefore, according to the lock-type luer taper connector and the male connector and the female connector thereof according to the first aspect of the present invention, the other of the nut and the male connector is twisted while being held and fixed by hand. Even if a torsional force is applied to the other connector or nut while one of the female connector and the male connector is fixed, a torsional force is applied to the male connector while the female connector is fixed. Even if the nut tries to rotate with the male connector, the lock part provides resistance to the relative rotation of the nut and female connector, so the nut will not rotate with respect to the female connector. It is possible to prevent unintentional loosening and disconnection of the connector due to loosening of the threaded state between the female connector and the protrusion of the female connector.

　しかも、この発明の第１の態様におけるロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタおよび雌コネクタによれば、ナットを締め込むだけでロック部がナットと雌コネクタとの相対回動に抵抗を与えるので、コネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを防止するためにルアーテーパーコネクタの接続が不十分になるということもない。 Moreover, according to the lock type luer taper connector and the male connector and the female connector thereof according to the first aspect of the present invention, the lock portion provides resistance to the relative rotation between the nut and the female connector simply by tightening the nut. In order to prevent unintentional loosening and disconnection of the connector, the connection of the luer taper connector is not insufficient.

　なお、この発明の第１の態様のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタにおいては、前記ロック部は、前記雌コネクタの突条だけに設けられていても良く、この場合には雄コネクタは通常のナットを有する従来のもので済むので、従来の雄コネクタを用いてこの発明のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタを構成することができる。 In the lock type luer taper connector according to the first aspect of the present invention, the lock portion may be provided only on the protrusion of the female connector. In this case, the male connector has a normal nut. Since the conventional one is sufficient, the lock type luer taper connector of the present invention can be configured using the conventional male connector.

　かかるこの発明の第２の態様におけるロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタにあっては、雌コネクタに雄コネクタを差し込んでルアーテーパーの接続面同士を密に嵌合させることで気密な接続が達成される。また、雄コネクタの筒状部の基部の小径部に回動可能に挿通されてその基部の大径部との掛合により軸線方向移動を規制される掛合部を有するナットの雌ネジを、雌コネクタの先端部の突条に螺合させてそのナットを雌コネクタに締め込むことで、雄コネクタと雌コネクタとの接続面同士の密な嵌合が維持される。そしてナットの掛合部が、雄コネクタの筒状部の基部の小径部に回動自在に遊挿され、かつ、雄コネクタの、前記ナットの掛合部と前記筒状部の基部の大径部との少なくとも一方が有する摩擦トルク軽減部が、それらナットの掛合部と筒状部の基部の大径部との掛合状態での他方との相対回動の摩擦トルクを軽減させる。 In the lock type luer taper connector and the male connector thereof according to the second aspect of the present invention, an airtight connection is achieved by inserting the male connector into the female connector and closely fitting the connection surfaces of the luer taper. Is done. In addition, the female screw of the nut having a hook portion that is rotatably inserted into the small diameter portion of the base portion of the cylindrical portion of the male connector and whose axial movement is restricted by the hooking with the large diameter portion of the base portion is connected to the female connector. The fitting surface of the male connector and the female connector is kept in close contact with each other by tightening the nut into the female connector by screwing with the protrusion at the tip of the female connector. And the engaging part of the nut is rotatably inserted into the small diameter part of the base part of the cylindrical part of the male connector, and the engaging part of the nut and the large diameter part of the base part of the cylindrical part of the male connector, The friction torque reducing portion included in at least one of these reduces the friction torque of the relative rotation between the engaging portion of the nut and the large diameter portion of the base portion of the cylindrical portion.

　従って、この発明の第２の態様におけるロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタによれば、雄コネクタの筒状部あるいはそこにつながれたチューブ等を誤って雌コネクタに対して捻ってしまっても、ナットの掛合部が雄コネクタの筒状部の基部の小径部に回動自在に遊挿され、かつ、摩擦トルク軽減部がナットの掛合部と筒状部の基部の大径部との相対回動の摩擦トルクを軽減させることから、雄コネクタの筒状部とナットとの共回りが防止されるので、ナットの雌ネジと雌コネクタの突条との螺合状態が緩んでコネクタの意図しない緩みや外れが生ずるのを防止することができる。 Therefore, according to the lock-type luer taper connector and the male connector thereof in the second aspect of the present invention, even if the tubular portion of the male connector or the tube connected thereto is accidentally twisted with respect to the female connector, The engaging part of the nut is rotatably inserted into the small diameter part of the base part of the cylindrical part of the male connector, and the friction torque reducing part is rotated relative to the engaging part of the nut and the large diameter part of the base part of the cylindrical part. Since the dynamic friction torque is reduced, it is possible to prevent the cylindrical portion of the male connector and the nut from rotating together. Therefore, the screwed state of the female screw of the nut and the protrusion of the female connector is loosened and the connector is not intended. It is possible to prevent loosening and detachment.

　しかも、この発明の第２の態様におけるロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタによれば、雄コネクタの筒状部の基部の小径部に遊挿したナットを雌コネクタに締め込むだけで、そのナットの遊挿された掛合部と摩擦トルク軽減部とにより雄コネクタの筒状部とナットとの共回りが防止されるので、コネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを防止するためにルアーテーパーコネクタの接続が不十分になったり雄コネクタが長くなったりするということもない。 Moreover, according to the lock type luer taper connector and the male connector of the second aspect of the present invention, the nut loosely inserted into the small diameter portion of the base portion of the cylindrical portion of the male connector is simply tightened into the female connector. Since the loosely engaged engagement part and the friction torque reducing part prevent the male connector cylindrical part and the nut from rotating together, the luer taper connector can be connected to prevent unintentional loosening and disengagement of the connector. There is no shortage or long male connector.

　なお、この発明の第２の態様のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタにおいては、前記摩擦トルク軽減部は、前記ナットの掛合部に、前記雄コネクタの筒状部の基部の大径部に向けて突設された例えば環状突条等の突起を有していても良く、この場合には、雄コネクタの筒状部は従来のもので済み、雌コネクタも従来のもので済むので、この発明のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタを安価に構成することができる。 In the lock type luer taper connector according to the second aspect of the present invention and the male connector thereof, the friction torque reducing portion is formed on the engaging portion of the nut and on the large diameter portion of the base portion of the cylindrical portion of the male connector. For example, the cylindrical portion of the male connector may be a conventional one, and the female connector may be a conventional one. The lock type luer taper connector of the invention can be constructed at low cost.

　また、この発明の第２の態様のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタにおいては、前記摩擦トルク軽減部は、前記ナットの掛合部に、前記雄コネクタの筒状部の基部の大径部に向けて設けられた例えばフッ素樹脂コーティング層あるいはフッ素樹脂シート等の低摩擦材を有していても良く、この場合にも、雄コネクタの筒状部は従来のもので済み、雌コネクタも従来のもので済むので、この発明のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタを安価に構成することができる。 Further, in the lock type luer taper connector of the second aspect of the invention and the male connector thereof, the friction torque reducing portion is formed on the engaging portion of the nut and on the large diameter portion of the base portion of the cylindrical portion of the male connector. It may have a low friction material, such as a fluororesin coating layer or a fluororesin sheet, provided in this case. In this case as well, the cylindrical part of the male connector is conventional, and the female connector is also conventional. Therefore, the lock type luer taper connector of the present invention can be constructed at low cost.

　そしてこの発明の第２の態様のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタにおいては、前記摩擦トルク軽減部は、前記筒状部の基部の大径部に、前記ナットの掛合部に向けて突設された例えば環状突条等の突起を有していても良く、この場合には、雄コネクタのナットは従来のもので済み、雌コネクタも従来のもので済むので、この発明のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタを安価に構成することができる。 In the lock-type luer taper connector and the male connector according to the second aspect of the present invention, the friction torque reducing portion projects from the large-diameter portion of the base portion of the cylindrical portion toward the engaging portion of the nut. In this case, the nut of the male connector may be a conventional one, and the female connector may be a conventional one. Therefore, the lock type luer taper of the present invention may be used. The connector can be configured at low cost.

FIG.

　以下、この発明の実施の形態を図面に基づく実施例によって詳細に説明する。ここに、図１（ａ），（ｂ）および（ｃ）は、この発明の第１の態様のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタの第１実施例におけるこの発明の第１の態様の雌コネクタの一実施例の構成を示す平面図、正面図および縦断面図、また図２（ａ）および（ｂ）は、上記実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタにおける雌コネクタを背面側から見て示す斜視図およびその雌コネクタと通常の雄コネクタとの接続状態を示す縦断面図であり、図中、従来例と同様の部分はそれと同一の符号にて示す。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail by way of examples based on the drawings. 1 (a), (b) and (c) show one embodiment of the female connector of the first aspect of the present invention in the first embodiment of the lock-type luer taper connector of the first aspect of the present invention. FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B are a perspective view showing the female connector in the lock-type luer taper connector of the above embodiment as viewed from the rear side and its plan view, front view and longitudinal sectional view showing the configuration of the example. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view which shows the connection state of a female connector and a normal male connector, In the figure, the part similar to a prior art example is shown with the same code | symbol.

　すなわちこの第１実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタも、ルアーテーパー（６％テーパー）の裁頭円錐状の接続面２ａを外周面に持つ筒状部２を有するプラスチック製の雄コネクタ１と、ルアーテーパーの裁頭円錐状の接続面５ａを内周面に持つ筒状部５を有するプラスチック製の雌コネクタ４とを具え、上記雄コネクタ１はまた、その雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部２ｂに回動可能に挿通されてその基部２ｂの外周フランジ２ｃとの掛合により軸線方向移動を規制されるとともに二条ネジの雌ネジ３ａを持つプラスチック製のナット３を有し、一方、上記雌コネクタ４はまた、その雌コネクタ４の筒状部５の先端部から互いに対抗する半径方向外方へ一体に突出するとともに各々周方向に延在する、二条ネジの雄ネジの一部としての２つの突条６を有し、そのナット３の二条ネジの雌ネジ３ａを雌コネクタ４の先端部の２本の突条６に螺合させてそのナット３を締め込むことで雄コネクタ１と雌コネクタ４との接続面２ａ，５ａ同士の密な嵌合を維持するようにしたものである。 That is, the lock-type luer taper connector of the first embodiment also has a plastic male connector 1 having a cylindrical portion 2 having a luer taper (6% taper) truncated conical connection surface 2a on the outer peripheral surface, and a lure. A plastic female connector 4 having a cylindrical portion 5 having a tapered conical connecting surface 5a on the inner peripheral surface, and the male connector 1 is also a base portion of the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1 2b, and a plastic nut 3 having a female thread 3a of a double thread and having a plastic thread 3a that is controlled to move in the axial direction by engaging with the outer peripheral flange 2c of the base 2b. 4 is also a part of a male thread of a double thread that protrudes integrally from the distal end of the tubular portion 5 of the female connector 4 radially outward to oppose each other and extends in the circumferential direction. The male connector 1 has two protrusions 6, the female thread 3 a of the double thread of the nut 3 is screwed into the two protrusions 6 at the tip of the female connector 4, and the nut 3 is tightened. The close fitting of the connection surfaces 2a and 5a with the female connector 4 is maintained.

　しかしてこの第１実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタは、従来のものと異なり、雌コネクタ４の雄ネジとなる突条６が、雄コネクタ１のナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合状態でナット３の雌ネジ３ａと密に掛合してナット３と雌コネクタ４との相対回動に抵抗を与えるロック部としての、例えば突条６より低い高さの例えば角棒状の２本のロック突起７を有しており、これらのロック突起７はそれぞれ、突条６の戻り側フランク面（図１（ａ）では上向きの側面）から筒状部５の外周面に亘ってそれら筒状部５および突条６と一体に突設されて筒状部５の軸線方向へ延在している。 However, the lock type luer taper connector of the first embodiment is different from the conventional one in that the protrusion 6 serving as the male screw of the female connector 4 has a protrusion between the female screw 3a of the nut 3 of the male connector 1 and the female connector 4. For example, the height of the lock 6 is lower than that of the ridge 6, for example, as a lock portion that tightly engages with the female screw 3a of the nut 3 in a screwed state with the ridge 6 to provide resistance to relative rotation between the nut 3 and the female connector 4. Two lock protrusions 7 having a square bar shape are provided, and each of these lock protrusions 7 is an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 5 from a return side flank surface (upward side surface in FIG. 1A) of the protrusion 6. The cylindrical portion 5 and the ridge 6 are integrally projected so as to extend in the axial direction of the cylindrical portion 5.

　さらに、この第１実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタは、雌コネクタ４の筒状部５が、各ロック突起７の両側に位置して筒状部５の軸線方向へ延在するスリット５ｂを有しており、これにより、各ロック突起７およびその近傍の筒状部５が他の部分から周方向に切り離されて、半径方向へ弾性変形され易くなっている。 Further, in the lock type luer taper connector of the first embodiment, the tubular portion 5 of the female connector 4 has slits 5b that are located on both sides of each lock projection 7 and extend in the axial direction of the tubular portion 5. Thus, each lock projection 7 and the cylindrical portion 5 in the vicinity thereof are separated from other portions in the circumferential direction, and are easily elastically deformed in the radial direction.

　かかる構成を具えるこの第１実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタにあっては、雌コネクタ４に雄コネクタ１の筒状部２を差し込んでルアーテーパーの接続面５ａ，２ａ同士を密に嵌合させることで、コネクタの気密な接続が達成される。また、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部２ｂに回動可能に挿通されてその基部２ｂの外周フランジ２ｃとの掛合により軸線方向移動を規制されるナット３の二条ネジの雌ネジ３ａを、雌コネクタ４の筒状部５の先端部の２つの突条６に螺合させてそのナット３を締め込むことで、雄コネクタ１と雌コネクタ４との接続面５ａ，２ａ同士の密な嵌合が維持される。 In the lock type luer taper connector according to the first embodiment having such a configuration, the tubular portion 2 of the male connector 1 is inserted into the female connector 4 so that the luer taper connection surfaces 5a and 2a are closely fitted to each other. By doing so, an airtight connection of the connector is achieved. Further, a female thread 3a of a double thread of a nut 3 that is rotatably inserted into the base 2b of the cylindrical part 2 of the male connector 1 and is restricted from moving in the axial direction by engaging with the outer peripheral flange 2c of the base 2b, The fitting surfaces 5a and 2a of the male connector 1 and the female connector 4 are closely fitted to each other by tightening the nut 3 by screwing into the two protrusions 6 at the tip of the cylindrical portion 5 of the female connector 4. The match is maintained.

　そしてここではナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６とのうちで突条６のみに設けられた２つのロック突起７が、それらナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合状態でナット３の雌ネジ３ａのネジ山を押し込まれて弾性的若しくは弾塑性的に変形し、その雌ネジ３ａのネジ山と密に掛合してナット３と雌コネクタ４との相対回動に抵抗を与えるとともに、それら２つのロック突起７の半径方向内方にそれぞれ位置する筒状部５の部分の接続面５ａを雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の接続面２ａに押し付けて雄コネクタ１の筒状部２を挟持する。 In this case, two lock protrusions 7 provided only on the protrusion 6 out of the female thread 3 a of the nut 3 and the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4 are the protrusions of the female thread 3 a of the nut 3 and the female connector 4. 6, the thread of the female screw 3 a of the nut 3 is pushed in and elastically or elasto-plastically deformed, and the nut 3 and the female connector 4 are tightly engaged with the thread of the female screw 3 a. Resistance to the relative rotation of the two locking projections 7, and the connecting surface 5 a of the cylindrical portion 5 positioned inward in the radial direction of the two locking projections 7 is pressed against the connecting surface 2 a of the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1. The cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1 is clamped.

　従って、この実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雌コネクタ４によれば、ナット３と雄コネクタ１の筒状部２との一方が手で持たれたりして固定された状態で他方が捻られようとしても、あるいは雌コネクタ４と雄コネクタ１との一方が固定された状態で他方のコネクタまたはナット３に捻り力が加わっても、さらには雌コネクタ４が固定された状態で雄コネクタ１に捻り力が加わってナット３が雄コネクタ１と共回りしようとしても、ロック突起７がナット３と雌コネクタ４との相対回動に抵抗を与えるので雌コネクタ４に対してナット３が回動してしまうことがないため、ナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合状態が緩んでコネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを生じてしまうのを防止することができる。 Therefore, according to the lock type luer taper connector and the female connector 4 of this embodiment, one of the nut 3 and the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1 is held and fixed by hand, and the other is twisted. Even if one of the female connector 4 and the male connector 1 is fixed or a twisting force is applied to the other connector or the nut 3, the male connector 1 is further fixed while the female connector 4 is fixed. Even if the nut 3 tries to rotate together with the male connector 1 due to a torsional force, the lock projection 7 gives resistance to the relative rotation between the nut 3 and the female connector 4, so that the nut 3 rotates relative to the female connector 4. Therefore, it is possible to prevent unintentional loosening or disengagement of the connector due to loosening of the screwed state of the female screw 3a of the nut 3 and the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4.

　しかも、この実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雌コネクタ４によれば、ナット３を締め込むだけでロック突起７がナット３と雌コネクタ４との相対回動に抵抗を与えるので、コネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを防止するためにルアーテーパーコネクタの接続が不十分になるということもない。また、ロック突起７で押された雌コネクタ４の筒状部５が雄コネクタ１の筒状部２を挟持して、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２と雌コネクタ４との相対回動にも抵抗を与えるので、例え雌コネクタ４と雄コネクタ１の筒状部２との一方が捻られても、ナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合状態が緩んでコネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを生じてしまうのを防止することができる。 In addition, according to the lock type luer taper connector and the female connector 4 of this embodiment, the lock projection 7 gives resistance to the relative rotation between the nut 3 and the female connector 4 just by tightening the nut 3. In order to prevent unintentional loosening and disconnection, the connection of the luer taper connector is not insufficient. In addition, the cylindrical portion 5 of the female connector 4 pushed by the lock protrusion 7 sandwiches the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1, and the relative rotation between the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1 and the female connector 4 is also performed. Since resistance is given, even if one of the female connector 4 and the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1 is twisted, the screwed state between the female screw 3a of the nut 3 and the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4 is loosened. It is possible to prevent unintentional loosening and disengagement.

　さらに、この実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタによれば、ロック突起７は、雄コネクタ１と雌コネクタ４との両方でなく雌コネクタ４の突条６だけに設けられていることから、雄コネクタ１は通常のナット３を有する従来のもので済むので、従来の雄コネクタ１を用いてこの発明のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタを構成し、この発明の効果を奏することができる。 Further, according to the lock type luer taper connector of this embodiment, the locking projection 7 is provided only on the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4 instead of both the male connector 1 and the female connector 4. Since 1 can be a conventional one having a normal nut 3, the conventional male connector 1 is used to constitute the lock-type luer taper connector of the present invention, and the effects of the present invention can be achieved.

　図３（ａ），（ｂ）および（ｃ）は、この発明の第１の態様のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタの第２実施例におけるこの発明の第１の態様の雌コネクタの一実施例の構成を示す平面図、正面図および縦断面図、また図４（ａ）および（ｂ）は、上記実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタにおける雌コネクタを背面側から見て示す斜視図およびその雌コネクタと通常の雄コネクタとの接続状態を示す縦断面図であり、図中、先の実施例と同様の部分はそれと同一の符号にて示す。 3 (a), 3 (b) and 3 (c) show the construction of one embodiment of the female connector of the first aspect of the present invention in the second embodiment of the lock type luer taper connector of the first aspect of the present invention. FIG. 4 (a) and FIG. 4 (b) are a perspective view showing the female connector in the lock-type luer taper connector of the above embodiment as seen from the back side, and its female connector. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view which shows the connection state with a normal male connector, In the figure, the part similar to the previous Example is shown with the same code | symbol.

　すなわち、この第２実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタは、ロック部としての２つのロック突起７がそれぞれ、先に実施例におけるロック突起７よりも筒状部５の軸線方向に短く、かつ雌コネクタ４の突条６と同じ高さを持ち、その突条６の戻り側フランク面（図２（ａ）では上向きの側面）と実質的に平行に傾斜しており、また雌コネクタ４の筒状部５が、各ロック突起７の両側に位置して筒状部５の軸線方向へ延在するスリット５ｂを有していない点でのみ、先の第１実施例と相違しており、他の点は先の第１実施例と同様に構成されているので、ここでは詳細な説明を省略する。 That is, in the lock type luer taper connector of the second embodiment, the two lock projections 7 as the lock portions are shorter in the axial direction of the tubular portion 5 than the lock projection 7 in the first embodiment, respectively, and the female connector 4 has the same height as the ridge 6 and is inclined substantially in parallel with the return-side flank surface (upward side surface in FIG. 2A) of the ridge 6, and the cylindrical shape of the female connector 4 The only difference from the first embodiment is that the portions 5 are located on both sides of each locking projection 7 and do not have slits 5b extending in the axial direction of the cylindrical portion 5. Since the point is configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment, detailed description is omitted here.

　かかる構成を具えるこの第２実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタにあっては、先の実施例と同様、雌コネクタ４に雄コネクタ１の筒状部２を差し込んでルアーテーパーの接続面５ａ，２ａ同士を密に嵌合させることで、コネクタの気密な接続が達成される。また、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部２ｂに回動可能に挿通されてその基部２ｂの外周フランジ２ｃとの掛合により軸線方向移動を規制されるナット３の二条ネジの雌ネジ３ａを、雌コネクタ４の筒状部５の先端部の２つの突条６に螺合させてそのナット３を締め込むことで、雄コネクタ１と雌コネクタ４との接続面５ａ，２ａ同士の密な嵌合が維持される。 In the lock type luer taper connector of the second embodiment having such a configuration, the tubular portion 2 of the male connector 1 is inserted into the female connector 4 and the luer taper connecting surface 5a, By tightly fitting 2a together, an airtight connection of the connector is achieved. Further, a female thread 3a of a double thread of a nut 3 that is rotatably inserted into the base 2b of the cylindrical part 2 of the male connector 1 and is restricted from moving in the axial direction by engaging with the outer peripheral flange 2c of the base 2b, The fitting surfaces 5a and 2a of the male connector 1 and the female connector 4 are closely fitted to each other by tightening the nut 3 by screwing into the two protrusions 6 at the tip of the cylindrical portion 5 of the female connector 4. The match is maintained.

　そしてここではナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６とのうちで突条６のみに設けられた２つのロック突起７が、それらナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合状態でナット３の雌ネジ３ａの戻り側フランク面（図４（ｂ）では右向きの側面）に押圧され、その雌ネジ３ａの戻り側フランク面と密接して弾性的若しくは弾塑性的に変形しつつナット３と雌コネクタ４との相対回動に抵抗を与える。 In this case, two lock protrusions 7 provided only on the protrusion 6 out of the female thread 3 a of the nut 3 and the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4 are the protrusions of the female thread 3 a of the nut 3 and the female connector 4. 6 is pressed against the return side flank surface of the female screw 3a of the nut 3 (right side surface in FIG. 4 (b)) and is in close contact with the return side flank surface of the female screw 3a. Resistance is applied to the relative rotation between the nut 3 and the female connector 4 while being plastically deformed.

　しかも、この実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雌コネクタ４によれば、ナット３を締め込むだけでロック突起７がナット３と雌コネクタ４との相対回動に抵抗を与えるので、コネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを防止するためにルアーテーパーコネクタの接続が不十分になるということもない。 In addition, according to the lock type luer taper connector and the female connector 4 of this embodiment, the lock projection 7 gives resistance to the relative rotation between the nut 3 and the female connector 4 just by tightening the nut 3. In order to prevent unintentional loosening and disconnection, the connection of the luer taper connector is not insufficient.

　図５（ａ），（ｂ）および（ｃ）は、この発明の第１の態様のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタの第３実施例におけるこの発明の第１の態様の雌コネクタの一実施例の構成を示す平面図、正面図および縦断面図、また図６（ａ）および（ｂ）は、上記実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタにおける雌コネクタを背面側から見て示す斜視図およびその雌コネクタと通常の雄コネクタとの接続状態を示す縦断面図であり、図中、先の実施例と同様の部分はそれと同一の符号にて示す。 5 (a), (b) and (c) show the construction of one embodiment of the female connector of the first aspect of the present invention in the third embodiment of the lock type luer taper connector of the first aspect of the present invention.

It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view which shows the connection state with a normal male connector, In the figure, the part similar to the previous Example is shown with the same code | symbol.

　すなわち、この第３実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタは、ロック部としての２つのロック突起７がそれぞれ、雌コネクタ４の突条６の山頂面から蒲鉾状に突出している点でのみ、先の第２実施例と相違しており、他の点は先の第２実施例と同様に構成されているので、ここでは詳細な説明を省略する。 That is, the lock-type luer taper connector of the third embodiment is different from the first embodiment only in that the two lock protrusions 7 as the lock portions protrude in a hook shape from the top surface of the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4. The second embodiment is different from the second embodiment, and the other points are configured in the same manner as the second embodiment, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted here.

　かかる構成を具えるこの第３実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタにあっては、先の実施例と同様、雌コネクタ４に雄コネクタ１の筒状部２を差し込んでルアーテーパーの接続面５ａ，２ａ同士を密に嵌合させることで、コネクタの気密な接続が達成される。また、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部２ｂに回動可能に挿通されてその基部２ｂの外周フランジ２ｃとの掛合により軸線方向移動を規制されるナット３の二条ネジの雌ネジ３ａを、雌コネクタ４の筒状部５の先端部の２つの突条６に螺合させてそのナット３を締め込むことで、雄コネクタ１と雌コネクタ４との接続面５ａ，２ａ同士の密な嵌合が維持される。 In the lock-type luer taper connector of the third embodiment having such a configuration, as in the previous embodiment, the tubular portion 2 of the male connector 1 is inserted into the female connector 4 to connect the luer taper connection surfaces 5a, By tightly fitting 2a together, an airtight connection of the connector is achieved. Further, a female thread 3a of a double thread of a nut 3 that is rotatably inserted into the base 2b of the cylindrical part 2 of the male connector 1 and is restricted from moving in the axial direction by engaging with the outer peripheral flange 2c of the base 2b, The fitting surfaces 5a and 2a of the male connector 1 and the female connector 4 are closely fitted to each other by tightening the nut 3 by screwing into the two protrusions 6 at the tip of the cylindrical portion 5 of the female connector 4. The match is maintained.

　そしてここではナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６とのうちで突条６のみに設けられた２つのロック突起７が、それらナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合状態でナット３の雌ネジ３ａの谷底面に押圧され、その雌ネジ３ａの谷底面と密接して弾性的若しくは弾塑性的に変形しつつナット３と雌コネクタ４との相対回動に抵抗を与える。 In this case, two lock protrusions 7 provided only on the protrusion 6 out of the female thread 3 a of the nut 3 and the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4 are the protrusions of the female thread 3 a of the nut 3 and the female connector 4. 6 is pressed against the bottom surface of the female screw 3a of the nut 3 in a screwed state with the nut 6, and the nut 3 and the female connector 4 are relatively deformed in close contact with the bottom surface of the female screw 3a while being elastically or elastoplastically deformed. Resist the rotation.

　図７（ａ），（ｂ）および（ｃ）は、この発明の第１の態様のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタの第４実施例におけるこの発明の第１の態様の雌コネクタの一実施例の構成を示す平面図、正面図および縦断面図、また図８（ａ）および（ｂ）は、上記実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタにおける雌コネクタを背面側から見て示す斜視図およびその雌コネクタと通常の雄コネクタとの接続状態を示す縦断面図であり、図中、先の実施例と同様の部分はそれと同一の符号にて示す。 7 (a), (b) and (c) show the construction of one embodiment of the female connector of the first aspect of the present invention in the fourth embodiment of the lock-type luer taper connector of the first aspect of the present invention. FIG. 8 (a) and FIG. 8 (b) are a perspective view showing the female connector in the lock type luer taper connector of the above embodiment as seen from the back side, and its female connector. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view which shows the connection state with a normal male connector, In the figure, the part similar to the previous Example is shown with the same code | symbol.

　すなわち、この第４実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタは、ロック部としての２つのロック突起７がそれぞれ、雌コネクタ４の突条６の進み側フランク面（図７（ａ）では下向きの側面）から筒状部５の先端面にかけて筒状部５の軸線方向に蒲鉾状に突出している点でのみ、先の第３実施例と相違しており、他の点は先の第３実施例と同様に構成されているので、ここでは詳細な説明を省略する。 That is, in the lock-type luer taper connector of this fourth embodiment, the two lock projections 7 as the lock portions are respectively the forward flank surfaces of the protrusions 6 of the female connector 4 (the downward side surface in FIG. 7A). It differs from the previous third embodiment only in that it protrudes in the form of a bowl in the axial direction of the cylindrical portion 5 from the tip of the cylindrical portion 5 to the distal end surface, and the other points differ from the previous third embodiment. Since the configuration is the same, detailed description is omitted here.

　かかる構成を具えるこの第４実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタにあっては、先の実施例と同様、雌コネクタ４に雄コネクタ１の筒状部２を差し込んでルアーテーパーの接続面５ａ，２ａ同士を密に嵌合させることで、コネクタの気密な接続が達成される。また、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部２ｂに回動可能に挿通されてその基部２ｂの外周フランジ２ｃとの掛合により軸線方向移動を規制されるナット３の二条ネジの雌ネジ３ａを、雌コネクタ４の筒状部５の先端部の２つの突条６に螺合させてそのナット３を締め込むことで、雄コネクタ１と雌コネクタ４との接続面５ａ，２ａ同士の密な嵌合が維持される。 In the lock type luer taper connector of the fourth embodiment having such a configuration, the tubular portion 2 of the male connector 1 is inserted into the female connector 4 and the luer taper connecting surface 5a, By tightly fitting 2a together, an airtight connection of the connector is achieved. Further, a female thread 3a of a double thread of a nut 3 that is rotatably inserted into the base 2b of the cylindrical part 2 of the male connector 1 and is restricted from moving in the axial direction by engaging with the outer peripheral flange 2c of the base 2b, The fitting surfaces 5a and 2a of the male connector 1 and the female connector 4 are closely fitted to each other by tightening the nut 3 by screwing into the two protrusions 6 at the tip of the cylindrical portion 5 of the female connector 4. The match is maintained.

　そしてここではナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６とのうちで突条６のみに設けられた２つのロック突起７が、それらナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合状態でナット３の雌ネジ３ａの進み側フランク面に押圧され、その雌ネジ３ａの進み側フランク面と密接して弾性的若しくは弾塑性的に変形しつつナット３と雌コネクタ４との相対回動に抵抗を与える。 In this case, two lock protrusions 7 provided only on the protrusion 6 out of the female thread 3 a of the nut 3 and the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4 are the protrusions of the female thread 3 a of the nut 3 and the female connector 4. The nut 3 and the female connector are pressed against the advancing flank surface of the female screw 3a of the nut 3 in a screwed state with the nut 6, and are elastically or elastoplastically deformed in close contact with the advancing flank surface of the female screw 3a. Resistance is given to relative rotation with respect to 4.

　図９（ａ）および（ｂ）は、この発明の第１の態様のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタの第５実施例におけるこの発明の第１の態様の雄コネクタの一実施例のナットの構成を示す縦断面図およびそのナットを持つ雄コネクタと通常の雌コネクタとの接続状態を示す縦断面図であり、図中、従来例と同様の部分はそれと同一の符号にて示す。 9 (a) and 9 (b) show the configuration of the nut of one embodiment of the male connector of the first aspect of the present invention in the fifth embodiment of the lock type luer taper connector of the first aspect of the present invention. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view and the longitudinal cross-sectional view which shows the connection state of the male connector with its nut, and a normal female connector, In the figure, the part similar to a prior art example is shown with the same code | symbol.

　すなわちこの第５実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタも、ルアーテーパー（６％テーパー）の裁頭円錐状の接続面２ａを外周面に持つ筒状部２を有するプラスチック製の雄コネクタ１と、ルアーテーパーの裁頭円錐状の接続面５ａを内周面に持つ筒状部５を有する雌コネクタ４とを具え、上記雄コネクタ１はまた、その雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部２ｂに回動可能に挿通されてその基部２ｂの外周フランジ２ｃとの掛合により軸線方向移動を規制されるとともに二条ネジの雌ネジ３ａを持つプラスチック製のナット３を有し、一方、上記雌コネクタ４はまた、その雌コネクタ４の筒状部５の先端部から互いに対抗する半径方向外方へ一体に突出するとともに各々周方向に延在する、二条ネジの雄ネジの一部としての２つの突条６を有し、そのナット３の二条ネジの雌ネジ３ａを雌コネクタ４の先端部の２本の突条６に螺合させてそのナット３を締め込むことで雄コネクタ１と雌コネクタ４との接続面２ａ，５ａ同士の密な嵌合を維持するようにしたものである。 That is, the lock-type luer taper connector of the fifth embodiment also has a plastic male connector 1 having a cylindrical portion 2 having a luer taper (6% taper) truncated conical connection surface 2a on the outer peripheral surface, and a lure. A female connector 4 having a cylindrical portion 5 having a tapered conical connecting surface 5a on the inner peripheral surface, and the male connector 1 is also connected to a base portion 2b of the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1. It has a plastic nut 3 that is inserted in a movable manner and whose axial movement is restricted by engagement with the outer peripheral flange 2c of the base 2b and has a female thread 3a of a double thread, while the female connector 4 is also The two ridges 6 as a part of the male thread of the double thread that protrudes integrally from the front end of the cylindrical portion 5 of the female connector 4 radially outward to each other and extends in the circumferential direction. The Then, the female thread 3 a of the double thread of the nut 3 is screwed into the two protrusions 6 at the tip of the female connector 4 and the nut 3 is tightened to connect the connection surface between the male connector 1 and the female connector 4. The close fitting between 2a and 5a is maintained.

　しかしてこの第５実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタは、従来のものと異なり、雄コネクタ１のナット３の雌ネジ３ａが、そのナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合状態でその突条６と密に掛合してナット３と雌コネクタ４との相対回動に抵抗を与えるロック部としての、例えば雌ネジ３ａのネジ山より低い高さの例えば段差状の２つのロック突起７を有しており、これらのロック突起７は、ナット３の雌ネジ３ａの戻り側フランク面（図９（ａ）では右向きの側面）からネジ底面に亘ってそれらと一体に突設されて、二条の雌ネジ３ａに沿ってそれぞれナット３の奥から中間部まで螺旋状に延在している。なお、ロック突起７をナット３の入口部に設けないのは、ナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合をロック突起７で妨げられないようにして、その螺合を容易かつ確実にするためである。 However, the lock type luer taper connector of the fifth embodiment is different from the conventional one in that the female screw 3a of the nut 3 of the male connector 1 is connected to the female screw 3a of the nut 3 and the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4. For example, a stepped portion having a height lower than the thread of the female screw 3a, for example, as a lock portion that tightly engages with the protrusion 6 in a screwed state and gives resistance to the relative rotation between the nut 3 and the female connector 4. Two lock projections 7 are provided, and these lock projections 7 are integrated with them from the return side flank surface (the right side surface in FIG. 9A) of the female screw 3a of the nut 3 to the screw bottom surface. It protrudes and extends spirally from the back of the nut 3 to the middle part along the two female screws 3a. The reason why the lock protrusion 7 is not provided at the inlet of the nut 3 is that the screw protrusion between the female screw 3a of the nut 3 and the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4 is not hindered by the lock protrusion 7. It is for making it easy and reliable.

　かかる構成を具えるこの第５実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタにあっては、雌コネクタ４に雄コネクタ１の筒状部２を差し込んでルアーテーパーの接続面５ａ，２ａ同士を密に嵌合させることで、コネクタの気密な接続が達成される。また、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部２ｂに回動可能に挿通されてその基部２ｂの外周フランジ２ｃとの掛合により軸線方向移動を規制されるナット３の二条ネジの雌ネジ３ａを、雌コネクタ４の筒状部５の先端部の２つの突条６に螺合させてそのナット３を締め込むことで、雄コネクタ１と雌コネクタ４との接続面５ａ，２ａ同士の密な嵌合が維持される。 In the lock type luer taper connector of the fifth embodiment having such a configuration, the cylindrical connector 2 of the male connector 1 is inserted into the female connector 4 so that the luer taper connection surfaces 5a and 2a are closely fitted to each other. By doing so, an airtight connection of the connector is achieved. Further, a female thread 3a of a double thread of a nut 3 that is rotatably inserted into the base 2b of the cylindrical part 2 of the male connector 1 and is restricted from moving in the axial direction by engaging with the outer peripheral flange 2c of the base 2b, The fitting surfaces 5a and 2a of the male connector 1 and the female connector 4 are closely fitted to each other by tightening the nut 3 by screwing into the two protrusions 6 at the tip of the cylindrical portion 5 of the female connector 4. The match is maintained.

　そしてここではナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６とのうちではナット３の雌ネジ３ａのみに設けられた２つのロック突起７が、それらナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合状態で雌コネクタ４の突条６を押し込まれて弾性的若しくは弾塑性的に変形し、その突条６と密に掛合してナット３と雌コネクタ４との相対回動に抵抗を与える。 Here, of the female screw 3 a of the nut 3 and the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4, two lock projections 7 provided only on the female screw 3 a of the nut 3 are connected to the female screw 3 a of the nut 3 and the female connector 4. The protrusion 6 of the female connector 4 is pushed in the state of being screwed with the protrusion 6 and deformed elastically or elasto-plastically. Resist the rotation.

　従って、この実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタ１によれば、ナット３と雄コネクタ１の筒状部２との一方が手で持たれたりして固定された状態で他方が捻られようとしても、あるいは雌コネクタ４と雄コネクタ１との一方が固定された状態で他方のコネクタまたはナット３に捻り力が加わっても、さらには雌コネクタ４が固定された状態で雄コネクタ１に捻り力が加わってナット３が雄コネクタ１と共回りしようとしても、ロック突起７がナット３と雌コネクタ４との相対回動に抵抗を与えるので雌コネクタ４に対してナット３が回動してしまうことがないため、ナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合状態が緩んでコネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを生じてしまうのを防止することができる。 Therefore, according to the lock type luer taper connector and the male connector 1 of this embodiment, one of the nut 3 and the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1 is held and fixed by hand and the other is twisted. Even if one of the female connector 4 and the male connector 1 is fixed or a twisting force is applied to the other connector or the nut 3, the male connector 1 is further fixed while the female connector 4 is fixed. Even if the nut 3 tries to rotate together with the male connector 1 due to a torsional force, the lock projection 7 gives resistance to the relative rotation between the nut 3 and the female connector 4, so that the nut 3 rotates relative to the female connector 4. Therefore, it is possible to prevent unintentional loosening or disengagement of the connector due to loosening of the screwed state of the female screw 3a of the nut 3 and the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4.

　しかも、この実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタ１によれば、ナット３を締め込むだけでロック突起７がナット３と雌コネクタ４との相対回動に抵抗を与えるので、コネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを防止するためにルアーテーパーコネクタの接続が不十分になるということもない。 Moreover, according to the lock type luer taper connector and the male connector 1 of this embodiment, the lock projection 7 gives resistance to the relative rotation between the nut 3 and the female connector 4 just by tightening the nut 3, so that the connector In order to prevent unintentional loosening and disconnection, the connection of the luer taper connector is not insufficient.

　図１０（ａ），（ｂ）および（ｃ）は、この発明の第１の態様のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタの第６実施例におけるこの発明の第１の態様の雄コネクタの一実施例のナットの構成を示す正面図並びに縦断面図およびそのナットを持つ雄コネクタと通常の雌コネクタとの接続状態を示す縦断面図であり、図中、先の第５実施例と同様の部分はそれと同一の符号にて示す。 10 (a), (b) and (c) are nuts of one embodiment of the male connector of the first aspect of the present invention in the sixth embodiment of the lock-type luer taper connector of the first aspect of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a front view showing a configuration of the above and a longitudinal sectional view thereof and a longitudinal sectional view showing a connection state between a male connector having a nut and a normal female connector, in which the same parts as those in the fifth embodiment are the same as those shown in FIG. It shows with the code | symbol.

　すなわち、この第６実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタは、ロック部としての２つのロック突起７がそれぞれ、先に実施例におけるロック突起７と異なってネジ底面でなく二条の雌ネジ３ａのネジ山頂面にそれらと一体に突設されて、二条の雌ネジ３ａに沿ってそれぞれナット３の中間部で弓形に延在しており、またナット３が、各ロック突起７の両側に位置してナット３の軸線方向へ延在するスリット３ｂを有している点でのみ、先の第５実施例と相違しており、他の点は先の第５実施例と同様に構成されているので、ここでは詳細な説明を省略する。なお、ロック突起７をナット３の入口部に設けないのは、先の第５実施例と同様、ナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合をロック突起７で妨げられないようにして、その螺合を容易かつ確実にするためである。 That is, in the lock-type luer taper connector of the sixth embodiment, the two lock projections 7 as the lock portions are different from the lock projection 7 in the previous embodiment, not the screw bottom but the thread top of the two female screws 3a. And projecting integrally with them on the surface and extending in an arcuate shape at the middle of the nut 3 along the two female threads 3a. 3 is different from the previous fifth embodiment only in that it has a slit 3b extending in the axial direction of 3, and the other points are configured similarly to the previous fifth embodiment. Detailed description is omitted here. The reason why the lock protrusion 7 is not provided at the inlet of the nut 3 is that the lock protrusion 7 prevents the threaded engagement of the female screw 3a of the nut 3 and the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4 as in the fifth embodiment. This is to make the screwing easy and reliable.

　かかる構成を具えるこの第６実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタにあっては、雌コネクタ４に雄コネクタ１の筒状部２を差し込んでルアーテーパーの接続面５ａ，２ａ同士を密に嵌合させることで、コネクタの気密な接続が達成される。また、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部２ｂに回動可能に挿通されてその基部２ｂの外周フランジ２ｃとの掛合により軸線方向移動を規制されるナット３の二条ネジの雌ネジ３ａを、雌コネクタ４の筒状部５の先端部の２つの突条６に螺合させてそのナット３を締め込むことで、雄コネクタ１と雌コネクタ４との接続面５ａ，２ａ同士の密な嵌合が維持される。 In the lock-type luer taper connector of the sixth embodiment having such a configuration, the tubular portion 2 of the male connector 1 is inserted into the female connector 4 so that the luer taper connection surfaces 5a and 2a are closely fitted to each other. By doing so, an airtight connection of the connector is achieved. Further, a female thread 3a of a double thread of a nut 3 that is rotatably inserted into the base 2b of the cylindrical part 2 of the male connector 1 and is restricted from moving in the axial direction by engaging with the outer peripheral flange 2c of the base 2b, The fitting surfaces 5a and 2a of the male connector 1 and the female connector 4 are closely fitted to each other by tightening the nut 3 by screwing into the two protrusions 6 at the tip of the cylindrical portion 5 of the female connector 4. The match is maintained.

　そしてここではナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６とのうちでナット３の雌ネジ３ａのみに設けられた２つのロック突起７が、それらナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合状態で雌コネクタ４の突条６および筒状部５を押し込まれて弾性的若しくは弾塑性的に変形し、それら突条６および筒状部５と密接してナット３と雌コネクタ４との相対回動に抵抗を与えるとともに、それら２つのロック突起７の半径方向外方にそれぞれ位置するナット３の部分を半径方向外方へ弾性変形可能として、突条６に螺合させたナット３の締め込みを容易なものとする。 Here, two lock projections 7 provided only on the female screw 3a of the nut 3 out of the female screw 3a of the nut 3 and the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4 are connected to the female screw 3a of the nut 3 and the female connector 4 respectively. The thread 6 and the tubular part 5 of the female connector 4 are pushed into the threaded state 6 and deformed elastically or elasto-plastically, and the nut 6 is in close contact with the projecting line 6 and the tubular part 5. 3 and the female connector 4 are provided with a resistance to relative rotation, and the portions of the nut 3 respectively located radially outward of the two lock projections 7 are elastically deformable radially outward. The nut 3 that has been screwed together is easily tightened.

　しかも、この実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタ１によれば、ナット３を締め込むだけでロック突起７がナット３と雌コネクタ４との相対回動に抵抗を与えるので、コネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを防止するためにルアーテーパーコネクタの接続が不十分になるということもない。また、ロック突起７で押されたナット３の部分が半径方向外方へ弾性変形して逃げるので、突条６に螺合させたナット３を容易に締め込むことができる。 Moreover, according to the lock type luer taper connector and the male connector 1 of this embodiment, the lock projection 7 gives resistance to the relative rotation between the nut 3 and the female connector 4 just by tightening the nut 3, so that the connector In order to prevent unintentional loosening and disconnection, the connection of the luer taper connector is not insufficient. Further, since the portion of the nut 3 pushed by the lock protrusion 7 is elastically deformed radially outward and escapes, the nut 3 screwed into the protrusion 6 can be easily tightened.

　さらに、この実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタによれば、ロック突起７は、雄コネクタ１と雌コネクタ４との両方でなく雄コネクタ１のナット３の雌ネジ３ａだけに設けられていることから、雌コネクタ４は通常の突条６を有する従来のもので済むので、従来の雌コネクタ４を用いてこの発明のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタを構成し、この発明の効果を奏することができる。 Furthermore, according to the lock-type luer taper connector of this embodiment, the lock protrusion 7 is provided only on the female screw 3a of the nut 3 of the male connector 1 instead of both the male connector 1 and the female connector 4. Since the conventional female connector 4 having a normal protrusion 6 is sufficient, the conventional female connector 4 is used to constitute the lock-type luer taper connector of the present invention, and the effects of the present invention can be achieved.

　さらに、上記第１の態様における第１実施例では筒状部５にスリット５ｂを設け、上記第１の態様における第６実施例ではナット３にスリット３ｂを設けたが、これらの実施例の変形例としてスリットをなくしても良く、また、上記第１の態様における第２乃至第４実施例では筒状部５にスリットを設けず、上記第５実施例ではナット３にスリットを設けなかったが、これらの実施例の変形例としてスリットを設けても良い。 Further, in the first embodiment in the first aspect, the slit 5b is provided in the cylindrical portion 5, and in the sixth embodiment in the first aspect, the nut 3 is provided with the slit 3b.

　図１１（ａ）および（ｂ）は、この発明の第２の態様のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタの第１実施例におけるこの発明の第２の態様の雄コネクタの第１実施例のナットの構成を示す正面図および縦断面図、また図１１（ｃ）は、そのナットを有する雄コネクタと通常の雌コネクタとの接続状態を示す縦断面図であり、図中、従来例と同様の部分はそれと同一の符号にて示す。 11 (a) and 11 (b) show the configuration of the nut of the first embodiment of the male connector of the second aspect of the present invention in the first embodiment of the lock-type luer taper connector of the second aspect of the present invention. FIG. 11C is a longitudinal sectional view showing a connection state between a male connector having the nut and a normal female connector. In the figure, the same parts as in the conventional example are shown in FIG. It shows with the same code | symbol.

　すなわちこの第２の態様の第１実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタも、ルアーテーパー（６％テーパー）の裁頭円錐状の接続面２ａを外周面に持つ筒状部２を有するプラスチック製の雄コネクタ１と、ルアーテーパーの裁頭円錐状の接続面５ａを内周面に持つ筒状部５を有するプラスチック製の雌コネクタ４とを具え、上記雄コネクタ１はまた、その雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部の小径部２ｂに回動可能に挿通されてその基部の大径部としての外周フランジ２ｃとの掛合により軸線方向移動を規制される掛合部３ｅを持つとともに二条ネジの雌ネジ３ａを持つプラスチック製のナット３を有し、一方、上記雌コネクタ４はまた、その雌コネクタ４の筒状部５の先端部から互いに対抗する半径方向外方へ一体に突出するとともに各々周方向に延在する、二条ネジの雄ネジの一部としての２つの突条６を有しており、そのナット３の二条ネジの雌ネジ３ａを雌コネクタ４の先端部の２本の突条６に螺合させてそのナット３を締め込むことで雄コネクタ１と雌コネクタ４との接続面２ａ，５ａ同士の密な嵌合を維持するようにしたものである。 That is, the lock type luer taper connector of the first embodiment of the second aspect is also a plastic male having a cylindrical part 2 having a luer taper (6% taper) truncated conical connection surface 2a on the outer peripheral surface. The connector 1 and a plastic female connector 4 having a cylindrical portion 5 having a luer taper conical connecting surface 5a on the inner peripheral surface. The male connector 1 is also a cylinder of the male connector 1. A double threaded female screw having a hook portion 3e that is rotatably inserted into the small diameter portion 2b of the base portion of the shape portion 2 and whose axial movement is restricted by engagement with the outer peripheral flange 2c as the large diameter portion of the base portion. The female connector 4 has a plastic nut 3 having 3a, while the female connector 4 also projects integrally outward from the distal end of the tubular portion 5 of the female connector 4 in the radially outward direction. Two protrusions 6 as part of the male thread of the double thread extending in the direction are provided, and the female thread 3 a of the double thread of the nut 3 is connected to the two protrusions of the tip of the female connector 4. 6, and the nut 3 is tightened to maintain the close fitting between the connection surfaces 2 a and 5 a of the male connector 1 and the female connector 4.

　しかしてこの第１実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタは、従来のものと異なり、図１１（ｃ）に示すように、この発明の第２の態様の雄コネクタの第１実施例としての雄コネクタ１のナット３の掛合部３ｅが、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部の小径部２ａに、その小径部２ａに対する充分な隙間を持って回動自在に遊挿されて、その基部の外周フランジ２ｃとの掛合により軸線方向移動を規制され、またナット３の掛合部３ｅと筒状部２の基部の外周フランジ２ｃとのうちナット３の掛合部３ｅが、その掛合部３ｅの外周フランジ２ｃに向く内側端面の半径方向内方端部に、図１１（ａ），（ｂ）に示すように、摩擦トルク軽減部としての断面略半円状の環状突条３ｃを有しており、この環状突条３ｃは、図１１（ｃ）に示すように、それらナット３の掛合部３ｅと筒状部２の基部の外周フランジ２ｃとの掛合状態で外周フランジ２ｃの端面に、ナット３の回転軸線からのトルク半径が小さくなる掛合部３ｅの半径方向内方端部に位置する僅かな面積の接触面で摺接して、筒状部２の基部の外周フランジ２ｃとの相対回動の摩擦トルクを軽減させる。 However, the lock-type luer taper connector of the first embodiment is different from the conventional one, as shown in FIG. 11C, the male connector as the first embodiment of the male connector according to the second aspect of the present invention. The hook portion 3e of the nut 3 is loosely inserted into the small diameter portion 2a of the base portion of the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1 with a sufficient clearance with respect to the small diameter portion 2a, and the outer periphery of the base portion The axial movement is restricted by the engagement with the flange 2c, and the engagement portion 3e of the nut 3 out of the engagement portion 3e of the nut 3 and the outer peripheral flange 2c of the base portion of the cylindrical portion 2 is the outer peripheral flange 2c of the engagement portion 3e. As shown in FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b), a radially semicircular annular ridge 3c as a friction torque reducing portion is provided at the radially inner end of the inner end face facing the As shown in FIG. 11C, the annular protrusion 3c In the engaged state between the engaging portion 3e of the nut 3 and the outer peripheral flange 2c of the base portion of the tubular portion 2, the inner surface in the radial direction of the engaging portion 3e where the torque radius from the rotation axis of the nut 3 is reduced on the end surface of the outer peripheral flange 2c. The frictional torque of relative rotation with the outer peripheral flange 2c of the base part of the cylindrical part 2 is reduced by sliding contact with a contact surface of a small area located at the end part.

　かかる構成を具えるこの第１実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタ１にあっては、雌コネクタ４に雄コネクタ１の筒状部２を差し込んでルアーテーパーの接続面５ａ，２ａ同士を密に嵌合させることで、コネクタの気密な接続が達成される。また、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部の小径部２ｂに回動可能に挿通されてその基部の外周フランジ２ｃとの掛合により軸線方向移動を規制される掛合部３ｅを持つナット３の二条ネジの雌ネジ３ａを、雌コネクタ４の筒状部５の先端部の２つの突条６に螺合させてそのナット３を雌コネクタ４に締め込むことで、雄コネクタ１と雌コネクタ４との接続面５ａ，２ａ同士の密な嵌合が維持される。 In the lock-type luer taper connector and the male connector 1 of the first embodiment having such a configuration, the tubular portion 2 of the male connector 1 is inserted into the female connector 4, and the luer taper connection surfaces 5a and 2a are connected to each other. By tightly fitting the connectors, an airtight connection of the connector is achieved. Further, two nuts 3 having a hook portion 3e that is rotatably inserted into the small diameter portion 2b of the base portion of the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1 and whose axial movement is restricted by the hooking with the outer peripheral flange 2c of the base portion. By screwing the female screw 3a of the screw into the two protrusions 6 at the tip of the cylindrical portion 5 of the female connector 4 and tightening the nut 3 into the female connector 4, the male connector 1 and the female connector 4 The close fitting of the connection surfaces 5a and 2a is maintained.

　そしてここではナット３の掛合部３ｅが、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部の小径部２ａに回動自在に遊挿され、かつ、雄コネクタ１のナット３の掛合部３ｅが有する摩擦トルク軽減部としての環状突条３ｃが、それらナット３の掛合部３ｅと筒状部２の基部の外周フランジ２ｃとの掛合状態での筒状部２との相対回動の摩擦トルクを軽減させる。 And here, the engaging portion 3e of the nut 3 is loosely inserted into the small-diameter portion 2a of the base portion of the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1 and the friction torque that the engaging portion 3e of the nut 3 of the male connector 1 has. The annular ridge 3c as a reduction portion reduces the friction torque of the relative rotation between the tubular portion 2 and the engagement portion 3e of the nut 3 and the outer peripheral flange 2c of the base portion of the tubular portion 2.

　従って、この実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタ１によれば、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２あるいはそこにつながれたチューブ等を誤って雌コネクタ４に対して捻ってしまっても、ナット３の掛合部３ｅが雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部の小径部２ａに回動自在に遊挿され、かつ、環状突条３ｃがナット３の掛合部３ｅと筒状部２の基部の外周フランジ２ｃとの相対回動の摩擦トルクを軽減させることから、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２とナット３との共回りが防止されるので、ナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合状態が緩んでコネクタの意図しない緩みや外れが生ずるのを防止することができる。 Therefore, according to the lock type luer taper connector and the male connector 1 of this embodiment, even if the tubular portion 2 of the male connector 1 or the tube connected thereto is accidentally twisted with respect to the female connector 4, The engaging portion 3e of the nut 3 is loosely inserted into the small diameter portion 2a of the base portion of the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1, and the annular protrusion 3c is connected to the engaging portion 3e of the nut 3 and the base portion of the cylindrical portion 2. Since the friction torque of the relative rotation with the outer peripheral flange 2c is reduced, the co-rotation between the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1 and the nut 3 is prevented, so that the female screw 3a of the nut 3 and the female connector 4 It is possible to prevent unintentional loosening and disengagement of the connector due to loosening of the threaded state with the protrusion 6.

　しかも、この実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタ１によれば、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部の小径部２ａに遊挿したナット３を雌コネクタ４に締め込むだけで、そのナット３の遊挿された掛合部３ｅと環状突条３ｃとにより雄コネクタ１の筒状部２とナット３との共回りが防止されるので、コネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを防止するためにルアーテーパーコネクタの接続が不十分になったり雄コネクタ１が長くなったりするということもない。 Moreover, according to the lock type luer taper connector of this embodiment and the male connector 1, the nut 3 loosely inserted into the small diameter portion 2 a of the base portion of the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1 is simply tightened to the female connector 4. Since the engaging portion 3e and the annular protrusion 3c into which the nut 3 is loosely inserted prevent the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1 and the nut 3 from rotating together, in order to prevent unintentional loosening and detachment of the connector. In addition, the connection of the luer taper connector is not insufficient, and the male connector 1 is not lengthened.

　さらに、この実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタ１によれば、摩擦トルク軽減部は、ナット３の掛合部３ｅに、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部の外周フランジ２ｃに向けて突設された環状突条３ｃによって構成されていることから、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２は、図１１（ｃ）に示すように従来のもので済み、雌コネクタ４も、図１１（ｃ）に示すように従来のもので済むので、この発明のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタを安価に構成することができる。 Furthermore, according to the lock type luer taper connector and the male connector 1 of this embodiment, the friction torque reducing portion is directed to the engaging portion 3e of the nut 3 and to the outer peripheral flange 2c of the base portion of the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1. The cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1 is a conventional one as shown in FIG. 11C, and the female connector 4 is also shown in FIG. Since the conventional one is sufficient as shown in c), the lock type luer taper connector of the present invention can be constructed at low cost.

　すなわち、この実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタ１は、摩擦トルク軽減部が、ナット３の掛合部３ｅの内側端面の段部に、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２の基部の大径部としての外周フランジ２ｃに向けて嵌め合わされて貼り付けられ、ナット３の掛合部３ｅの内側端面の内周端から上記段部に亘って延在する、低摩擦材としてのフッ素樹脂製のリング状低摩擦シート３ｄによって構成されている点でのみ、先の第１実施例と相違しており、他の点は先の第１実施例と同様に構成されているので、ここでは詳細な説明を省略する。 That is, in the lock type luer taper connector of this embodiment and the male connector 1, the friction torque reducing portion is large on the stepped portion on the inner end surface of the engaging portion 3 e of the nut 3 and the large portion of the base portion of the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1. Made of fluororesin as a low friction material, which is fitted and pasted toward the outer peripheral flange 2c as the diameter portion, and extends from the inner peripheral end of the inner end face of the engaging portion 3e of the nut 3 to the stepped portion. It differs from the previous first embodiment only in that it is constituted by the ring-shaped low friction sheet 3d, and the other points are the same as those in the first embodiment. Description is omitted.

　かかる構成を具えるこの第２の態様の第２実施例のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタ１によれば、先の実施例と同様、コネクタの気密な接続が達成されるとともに、ナット３を締め込むことで雄コネクタ１と雌コネクタ４との接続面５ａ，２ａ同士の密な嵌合が維持され、それに加えて、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２あるいはそこにつながれたチューブ等を誤って雌コネクタ４に対して捻ってしまっても、雄コネクタ１の筒状部２とナット３との共回りが防止されるので、ナット３の雌ネジ３ａと雌コネクタ４の突条６との螺合状態が緩んでコネクタの意図しない緩みや外れが生ずるのを防止することができ、コネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを防止するためにルアーテーパーコネクタの接続が不十分になったり雄コネクタ１が長くなったりするということもない。 According to the lock type luer taper connector and the male connector 1 of the second embodiment of the second aspect having such a configuration, as in the previous embodiment, an airtight connection of the connector is achieved, and the nut 3 By tightening, the close fitting of the connecting

surfaces

5a, 2a between the male connector 1 and the female connector 4 is maintained, and in addition, the tubular portion 2 of the male connector 1 or the tube connected thereto is mistakenly Even if the female connector 4 is twisted, the co-rotation of the cylindrical portion 2 of the male connector 1 and the nut 3 is prevented, so the female screw 3a of the nut 3 and the protrusion 6 of the female connector 4 It can prevent unintentional loosening and disengagement of the connector due to loose screwing, and inadequate connection of the luer taper connector or male connector to prevent unintentional loosening or disengagement of the connector. Not even the fact that 1 or longer.

　さらに、上記第２の態様の第１乃至第３実施例では、ナット３の掛合部３ｅは筒状部２の基部の外周フランジ２ｃに掛合しているが、筒状部２の基部の小径部２ｂが接続面２ａよりも細い場合には、その接続面２ａと小径部２ｂとの段差部にナット３の掛合部３ｅを掛合させるようにしても良い。 Further, in the first to third embodiments of the second aspect, the engaging portion 3e of the nut 3 is engaged with the outer peripheral flange 2c of the base portion of the tubular portion 2, but the small diameter portion of the base portion of the tubular portion 2 is used. When 2b is thinner than the connection surface 2a, the engaging portion 3e of the nut 3 may be engaged with the step portion between the connection surface 2a and the small diameter portion 2b.

　さらに、上記第２の態様の第１乃至第３実施例では、雌コネクタ４は筒状部５の先端部に通常の２つの突条６を有しているが、これらに代えて二条ネジの雄ネジを突条として筒状部５の先端部に例えば半周程度ずつ設けても良い。また、上記第１乃至第３実施例では、ナット３および雌コネクタ４は二条ネジを有しているが、ナットおよび雌コネクタの少なくとも一方は、相手方との適切な螺合が可能であれば三条以上の条数のネジを有していても良い。 Furthermore, in the first to third embodiments of the second aspect, the female connector 4 has two normal protrusions 6 at the tip of the cylindrical portion 5, but instead of these, a double thread screw is used. For example, about a half circumference may be provided at the tip of the cylindrical portion 5 with male threads as protrusions. Moreover, in the said 1st thru | or 3rd Example, although the nut 3 and the female connector 4 have a double thread | screw, at least one of a nut and a female connector will be triple if an appropriate screwing with the other party is possible. You may have the above number of screws.

　かくしてこの発明の第１の態様のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタおよび雌コネクタによれば、ナットと雄コネクタとの一方が手で持たれたりして固定された状態で他方が捻られようとしても、あるいは雌コネクタと雄コネクタとの一方が固定された状態で他方のコネクタまたはナットに捻り力が加わっても、さらには雌コネクタが固定された状態で雄コネクタに捻り力が加わってナットが雄コネクタと共回りしようとしても、ロック部がナットと雌コネクタとの相対回動に抵抗を与えるので、雌コネクタに対してナットが回動してしまうことがないため、ナットの雌ネジと雌コネクタの突条との螺合状態が緩んでコネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを生じてしまうのを防止することができる。 Thus, according to the lock-type luer taper connector of the first aspect of the present invention and the male connector and the female connector thereof, one of the nut and the male connector may be held by hand and the other may be twisted. Or, even if a torsional force is applied to the other connector or nut while one of the female connector and the male connector is fixed, a torsional force is applied to the male connector while the female connector is fixed. Even if it tries to rotate together with the male connector, the lock portion gives resistance to the relative rotation between the nut and the female connector, so the nut does not rotate with respect to the female connector. It is possible to prevent unintentional loosening and disconnection of the connector due to loosening of the screwed state of the female connector with the protrusion.

　しかも、この発明の第１の態様のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタおよび雌コネクタによれば、ナットを締め込むだけでロック部がナットと雌コネクタとの相対回動に抵抗を与えるので、コネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを防止するためにルアーテーパーコネクタの接続が不十分になるということもない。 Moreover, according to the lock-type luer taper connector of the first aspect of the present invention and the male connector and the female connector, the lock portion provides resistance to relative rotation between the nut and the female connector simply by tightening the nut. In order to prevent unintentional loosening and disconnection of the connector, the connection of the luer taper connector is not insufficient.

　また、この発明の第２の態様のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタによれば、雄コネクタの筒状部あるいはそこにつながれたチューブ等を誤って雌コネクタに対して捻ってしまっても、ナットの掛合部が雄コネクタの筒状部の基部の小径部に回動自在に遊挿され、かつ、摩擦トルク軽減部がナットの掛合部と筒状部の基部の大径部との相対回動の摩擦トルクを軽減させることから、雄コネクタの筒状部とナットとの共回りが防止されるので、ナットの雌ネジと雌コネクタの突条との螺合状態が緩んでコネクタの意図しない緩みや外れが生ずるのを防止することができる。 In addition, according to the lock type luer taper connector of the second aspect of the present invention and the male connector, even if the tubular portion of the male connector or the tube connected thereto is accidentally twisted with respect to the female connector, The engaging part of the nut is rotatably inserted into the small diameter part of the base part of the cylindrical part of the male connector, and the friction torque reducing part is rotated relative to the engaging part of the nut and the large diameter part of the base part of the cylindrical part. Since the dynamic friction torque is reduced, it is possible to prevent the cylindrical portion of the male connector and the nut from rotating together. Therefore, the screwed state of the female screw of the nut and the protrusion of the female connector is loosened and the connector is not intended. It is possible to prevent loosening and detachment.

　しかも、この発明の第２の態様のロック式ルアーテーパーコネクタ並びにその雄コネクタによれば、雄コネクタの筒状部の基部の小径部に遊挿したナットを雌コネクタに締め込むだけで、そのナットの遊挿状態と摩擦トルク軽減部とにより雄コネクタの筒状部とナットとの共回りが防止されるので、コネクタの意図しない緩みや外れを防止するためにルアーテーパーコネクタの接続が不十分になったり雄コネクタが長くなったりするということもない。 Moreover, according to the lock type luer taper connector of the second aspect of the present invention and the male connector, the nut loosely inserted into the small diameter portion of the base portion of the cylindrical portion of the male connector is simply tightened into the female connector. Due to the loose insertion state and the friction torque reduction part, the cylindrical part of the male connector and the nut are prevented from co-rotating, so the luer taper connector is insufficiently connected to prevent unintentional loosening and disengagement of the connector. There is no such thing as a long male connector.
