Retainer clip for a connector

In combination, a connector for attachment to the end of a conduit and a clip for retaining the conduit within said connector, said combination including:

• the connector being formed with an outer curved surface, a stepped bore and a pair of opposed apertures communicating with said bore;
• the clip having an end member with a pair of spaced flexible legs extending from a surface thereof and through the opposed apertures of the connector, a pair of fingers extending from the legs and biased toward engagement with the connector by the flexibility of the legs to secure the clip within the apertures of the connector, a pair of ribs extending from the legs, and a chamfered surface formed in a front surface of the legs and ribs to permit the passage of the end of the conduit between the legs after the clip has been mounted in the apertures of the connector;
• a pair of guide channels formed in the connector;
• and
• a guide tab formed on the clip and received within one of the guide channels for positioning the clip in the connector.

A clip for retaining an end of a conduit within a connector, said clip including:

• an end member;
• a pair of spaced legs defining an opening therebetween extending from the end member, said legs forming inner and outer corners with the end member, with a recess being formed in each of said inner and outer corners to increase flexibility of the legs;
• a pair of fingers extending from an outer portion of the legs away from the opening formed therebetween;
• a pair of ribs extending from the outer portion of the legs toward each other;
• and
• a chamfered surface formed in a surface of the legs and ribs for permitting the passage of the end of the conduit between the legs when the clip is mounted in a slotted opening of the connector.

• an end member;
• a pair of spaced legs defining an opening therebetween extending from the end member;
• a guide tab formed on and extending inwardly from the end member intermediate and generally parallel to the legs;
• a pair of fingers extending from an outer portion of the legs away from the opening formed therebetween;
• a pair of ribs extending from the outer portion of the legs toward each other;
• and
• a chamfered surface formed in a surface of the legs and ribs for permitting the passage of the end of the conduit between the legs when the clip is mounted in a slotted opening of the connector.

• an end member;
• a pair of spaced legs defining an opening therebetween extending from the end member;
• a pair of fingers extending from an outer portion of the legs away from the opening formed therebetween, said fingers being curved outwardly and rearwardly from the legs toward the end member and forming an arcuate angle with said legs;
• a pair of ribs extending from the outer portion of the legs toward each other;
• and
• a chamfered surface formed in a surface of the legs and ribs for permitting the passage of the end of the conduit between the legs when the clip is mounted in a slotted opening of the connector.
