The arm 36 has a corresponding portion 38 (FIG. 4) formed to form a constriction in the throat 39 of the fastener 34, the corresponding portion 38 having a curved, preferably arcuate side. The arm 36 terminates at a corresponding inwardly directed end 41. The cross section of the fastener 34 (FIG. 1) may be a square or rectangular cross section, but is preferably circular, in which case the end wall of the first groove 33 (FIG. 3) has an arched cross section. .
In a plane perpendicular to the axis of the conduit 12, the first groove 33 (FIG. 4) is curved to correspond to the shape of the part 38, and the cylindrical part 30 of the connecting element 17 is in use in the first groove 33. (FIG. 1) includes an annular second groove 42 that is flush with each other, and each first groove 33 forms an opening 43 in the cylindrical portion 27 of the recess 23 at the center of the first groove 33. Curved in depth, its opening 43 allows the portion 38 of the arm 36 to engage with the annular second groove 42 of the connecting element 17.
The simple connection device described above operates as follows.
When the connector 16 (FIGS. 1 and 3) is first connected to the injector 5, the fastener 34 is first mounted on the end element 13 by slightly spreading the arc 37 through the flange 32 so that the fastener Since the connecting element 17 (FIGS. 1 and 3) is inserted into the recess 23 at the position shown by the dashed line in FIG. 4, the frustoconical portion 28 of the connecting element 17 Engaging with the frustoconical part 24, the annular groove 42 of the connecting element 17 is arranged on the first groove 33.
