Classification: CPC F | IPC F

Claim 8:
9. The quick connector according to claim 8, wherein:
the rear face of the flange comprises:
a first outer portion and a first inner portion, which is radially closer to the main axis than the first outer portion and which connects the outer portion to the second cylindrical portion,
the first outer portion defines a first ring-shaped outer face centered on the principal axis and located in a plane orthogonal to the principal axis,
the first inner portion comprises a first groove, which is recessed in the first inner portion and comprises a bottom and two radial edges facing each other,
the bottom of the first groove defines a first ring-shaped inner face centered on the main axis and situated in a plane orthogonal to the main axis,
the one of the two radial edges that connects the first inner face and the first outer face defines a first security face, which is geometrically carried by a cylinder of circular cross-section centered on the main axis and which is oriented towards the main axis,

the proximal face of each latch has a profile complementary to the rear face of the flange and comprises a second outer face, a second inner face and a second security face, of which:
the second outer face has a ring portion shape centered on the insertion axis and located in a plane orthogonal to the insertion axis,
the second inner face is located in a plane orthogonal to the insertion axis and set back from the second outer face in relation to the mouthpiece of the female element,
the second security face is located between the second outer face and the second inner face and is oriented opposite the insertion axis,

when the quick connector is in its connected configuration:
the first outer face faces the second outer face,
the first inner face faces the second inner face,
when either the first outer face or the first inner face abuts the respective second outer or inner face located opposite, then the first security face is opposite the second security face, preventing the latches from moving from their first position to their second position.
