Abstract:
A connector connectable to a pipe having an annular protrusion on an end portion outer circumference thereof includes a connector main body having, at an end thereof, a pipe insertion hole into which the pipe is inserted; a checker to be pushed in from a temporary stopping position with respect to the connector main body to a completely inserted position with respect to the connector main body; and a retainer disposed inside the connector main body, which is configured to restrict a movement of the checker from the temporary stopping position to the completely inserted position, before the pipe is inserted into the connector main body. The retainer has a retainer lock part in a lower end portion of the retainer. A retainer-locker, which locks the retainer lock part, is provided in a bottom portion on a pipe insertion hole side of the connector main body.

Claim (Index 5):
The connector according to  claim 1 , wherein the retainer further comprises:\n a C-shaped main body which is elastically deformed to spread when the pipe is inserted, and a pair of legs extended upward from ends of a cutout portion of the C-shaped main body; and wherein the checker further comprises: a press part, and a pair of retainer holding pieces extended downward from both left and right end portions of the press part, wherein a protrusion is provided to an inner side surface of each of the pair of the retainer holding pieces, the protrusion configured to prevent the C-shaped main body of the retainer from being elastically deformed and spread, by abutting against an outer side surface of the pair of legs, when operating personnel tries to pull out the pipe from the pipe insertion hole, while the checker is positioned between the completely inserted position and the temporary stopping position.
