Quick connector for electric heating tube

Abstract

A quick connector includes a main body externally provided with a bottom slot, an annular rib, and guiding recesses located above the annular rib, and internally defining a receiving space communicable at a lower end with the bottom slot via an opening; a lying U-shaped conductor extended through the opening with a lower end externally pressed against the bottom slot and an upper end located near an upper end of the receiving space for electrically connecting to an electric heating tube; and an elastic element mounted between the receiving space and the lying U-shaped conductor. The main body is mounted in an electric heating device via a mounting bracket engaged with the guiding recesses. With the elastic element, the lying U-shaped conductor may be elastically moved backward in the receiving space to enable convenient connecting or removing of the electric heating tube to or from the quick connector.
