Abstract:
A quick connector for connecting to a male end of a component includes a housing having a head portion and a body defining a central bore which receives a male end of a component therein. A latch and latch indicator are slidably mounted within the head portion for retaining the male end within the central bore. The latch indicator is offset relative to the latch to provide a visual indication that the component is coupled with the quick connector.

Claim (Index 1):
A quick connector including a housing having a head portion and a body defining a central bore configured to receive a first end of a component for releasably coupling the component with the quick connector, the quick connector comprising:\n a latch at least partially disposed within the head portion and comprising a latch bore formed within a body of the latch, wherein the latch is moveable within the head portion between (a) a first position in which the first end of the component is restricted from passing through the latch bore and (b) a second position in which the first end of the component is allowed to pass through the latch bore; a latch indicator at least partially disposed within the head portion and moveable with respect to the latch to indicate when the component is coupled with the quick connector; and an actuator coupled to the latch for selectively moving the latch between the first and second positions, the actuator including an actuator face having at least first, second, and third portions, with the third portion disposed between the first and second portions; wherein the third portion of the actuator face is configured to decrease a force required to move the latch between the first and second positions.
