Abstract

See full text

There are provided a joint connecting clip which can be removed easily with access from one direction only, thereby having excellent removing workability, is provided with rotation preventive means to prevent a joint from turning and also can be provided with a locking mechanism to prevent the clip from being removed easily, and is suitable for obtaining a compact piping configuration, and a joint connecting structure having the said joint connecting clip. The construction of a joint connecting clip 1 is such that a pair of handling portions 11 are provided above gripping portions 10, and the gripping portions 10 are opened and closed with access of only one direction by an operation of pinching the handling portions 11 from upper both sides of the gripping portions 10. The operation of pinching the paired handling portions 11 can be performed satisfactorily, for example, with the thumb and the forefinger of one hand, so that the joint connecting clip 1 can be removed easily with one hand. Since the gripping portions 10 can be opened by a one-hand operation performed from the upside of the gripping portions 10, there is no need for securing a space, which is necessary for removing the joint connecting clip 1, on both sides of the joint connecting clip 1.
