Abstract:
A quick connector includes a tubular socket, a wire retainer attached to an outer circumferential surface of the socket, and a guide member provided inside of the socket. The wire retainer has a lock portion which engages with a flange of a first tubular body when the guide member is at a second position. An outer circumferential surface of the guide member is formed with a holding recess in which the lock portion is fitted when the guide member is at a first position, and a wall of a pair of walls forming the holding recess is formed with a tapered guide surface that extends radially outward. The tapered guide surface guides the wire retainer so that the wire retainer goes over the flange when the first tubular body is inserted.
