Abstract

A gas supply connector of the present invention includes a gas supply member and two fasteners, wherein the gas supply member has a main body and multiple tubes; the fastener includes a buckling portion, a pressing portion and a neck portion. The pressing portion has an inner layer body and an outer layer body. The neck portion contracts from two lateral ends toward the center to form a tapered section, and the outer surface of the neck portion is arranged with multiple reinforcing ribs. The present invention through the neck portion reduces the force required for pressing the fastener to deform by the user, and through the reinforcing ribs increases the structural strength of the neck portion to prevent the fastener from breaking; in addition, the inner layer is made of plastic, and outer layer body is made of soft material, so as to improve the comfort of pressing fastener.

Claims (11)

1. A gas supply connector, comprising:

a gas supply member comprising a main body and a plurality of tubes, wherein the inside of the main body forms a plurality of gas passages along a front-rear insertion direction, and the opposite ends of the gas passage are respectively connected to different tubes; and

a plurality of fasteners, respectively connected to the left-right opposite sides of the main body, and including a buckling portion, a pressing portion, and a neck portion between the buckling portion and the pressing portion, wherein the pressing portion has an inner layer body integrally formed with the neck portion and an outer layer body enveloping the inner layer body, and the neck portion contracts from two lateral ends toward the center to form a tapered section, and the outer surface of the neck portion is arranged with a plurality of reinforcing ribs.

2. The gas supply connector according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of anti-slip strips are formed on a surface of the pressing portion, and a slope projection is formed at an end of the pressing portion.

3. The gas supply connector according to claim 1 , wherein the neck portion and the buckling portion have a first thickness, the main body has a second thickness larger than the first thickness, and the pressing portion has a third thickness larger than the second thickness.

4. The gas supply connector according to claim 3 , wherein the outer layer body is a bag made of a deformable material, the bag has an opening with a diameter smaller than the third thickness, and the diameter of the opening is larger than the first thickness of the neck portion.

5. The gas supply connector according to claim 1 , wherein the outer surface of the inner layer body has a plurality of protrusions, and a plurality of depressions corresponding to the protrusions are formed on the inner surface of the outer layer body, and wherein the inner layer body and the outer layer body are composed of different materials, a first material and a second material, respectively.

6. The gas supply connector according to claim 1 , wherein a display pattern is arranged on a surface of the main body.

7. The gas supply connector according to claim 1 , wherein the front of the neck portion is a form of contracted arc and the rear of the neck portion is a slope-tapered form.

8. The gas supply connector according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing ribs are respectively arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the neck portion, and wherein a first rib and a second rib are respectively formed at the front and rear ends of the neck portion, and the height of the second rib is larger than that of the first rib.

9. The gas supply connector according to claim 1 , wherein the outer periphery of the main body is arranged with a ring protrusion, and the ring protrusion is constructed with a recess extending along the front-rear insertion direction.
