Claims12
A thermal protection device for a quick coupling connector with at least one tubular element comprising
- a cover comprising a wall provided, according to a longitudinal axis, with a first portion adapted to be mounted on the connector to surround the connector at least partially and with a second portion adapted to be mounted on the tubular element and to hold the tubular element by a mechanical connection, wherein
- in a mounted state, the distance separating the wall of the cover and the connector and/or the tubular element is different from zero to create a spacing air gap and in that the second portion internally supports a clipping member adapted to be mounted on the tubular element and to hold the tubular element by a clipping mechanical connection,
- the clipping member comprises a clamp with an omega-like general shape with a top portion extending downwards by two clamp branches and is connected by a material bridge by the top portion to the wall of the cover, and
- the clipping member comprises a material strip folded and extending longitudinally from one edge of the wall of the cover, the material strip delimiting a proximal portion configured to form the material bridge and a distal portion configured to form the clipping member, the strip being folded in two in the proximal portion to bring the distal portion opposite an internal surface of the wall of the cover and the distal portion being folded to form the clamp.
