Swivel connector for use in an oxygen line

A swivel connector for use in an oxygen line to prevent said oxygen line from kinking, comprising:

• a body having an elongated, cylindrical cavity formed therein,
• an elongated, hollow sleeve having first and second ends and a flange near said first end, said sleeve being slidable in said cavity in said body,
• an elongated, hollow keeper press fitted into said cylindrical cavity of said body so that said keeper and said body are permanently and firmly held together, said keeper having an inner, cylindrical bore which encircles said sleeve, said bore being of sufficiently large diameter to provide clearance relative to said sleeve, said clearance being sufficiently large to minimize contact between said keeper and said sleeve to allow said sleeve to rotate freely relative to said keeper and relative to said body,
• said flange directly facing an end of said keeper and having a sufficiently large diameter to prevent said sleeve from being pulled outwardly from said cavity, and
• sealing means carried by said first end of said sleeve for sealing said sleeve relative to said body, said sleeve including a projecting portion extending beyond said flange to said first end, said sealing means comprising a sealing ring on said projecting portion, said sealing ring having a cross-sectional extent less than the length of said projecting portion.
