An improved fluid connector for garden use includes a tube body, a resilient retainer and a sleeve associated therewith. The tube body includes a plurality of holes for accommodation of a locking hook respectively and the resilient retainer is peripherally equipped with several pairs of vertical flexible ribs with an expansion space defined therebetween. On an inner wall of the sleeve, a plurality of push protrusions is disposed and is positioned in relationship with the vertical flexible ribs respectively so that, as the sleeve is pushed downwardly, the flexible ribs may be forced to deform and produce an reactive force that can instantly push the push protrusions of the sleeve back to their original place when the sleeve is free of an external force.

We claim: 1. A fluid connector for garden use, comprising:a tube body, said tube body including an interior space for flow passage, an exterior surface, and a support periphery perpendicular to the exterior surface, said exterior surface including a plurality of holes thereon;a resilient retainer being fitted on the exterior surface of the tube body, said resilient retainer including a seat, said seat including one or more locking hooks extended upwardly therefrom and said seat including one or more pairs of vertically flexible ribs, in an original state, disposed at a periphery of the seat, each of said one or more locking hooks being able to engage with one of the plurality of holes of the tube body, each of said pairs of vertically flexible ribs being joined on the seat and defining an expansion space between ribs in each pair, said expansion space permitting the ribs in a pair to flexibly move toward and away from each other, said each of said pairs of vertically flexible ribs is disposed on the seat next to one of the one or more locking hooks in an alternating manner; anda sleeve including an inner wall, said inner wall including a plurality of abutment blocks and a plurality of push protrusions, each of said plurality of push protrusions being positioned in alignment with one of said pairs of vertically flexible ribs, wherein, as said sleeve is pushed toward a direction to engage with said resilient retainer, said one or more locking hooks of the resilient retainer engage the plurality of holes of the tube body and said pairs of vertically flexible ribs engage with the plurality of push protrusions as the vertically flexible ribs are forced to deform and produce a reactive force responsive to engaging with the plurality of push protrusions, and wherein the pairs of vertically flexible ribs return to the original state when said sleeve is free from an external force exerting thereon;wherein said one or more locking hooks and the one or more pairs of vertically flexible ribs are made integrally with said resilient retainer;wherein each said one or more locking hooks of said resilient retainer is coupled with an arc shaped support section having a dodge section defined thereon;wherein said resilient retainer further comprises a plurality of flat support walls under each dodge section of the one or more locking hooks disposed alternatively between said one or more pairs of vertically flexible ribs, at the right side of each of said support walls extending upwardly a stop post and at the left side thereof disposing a spaced restraint post so as to form one or more guiding opening, said stop post and restraint post being flush with each other and being provided with a registration cavity respectively, each of said support walls including a slide slope, said sliding slope being formed at a lower level of each of said supporting walls including walls in a direction from said stop post toward said guide opening, wherein said sleeve further comprises a plurality of guide posts positioned in alignment with said guide openings of the resilient retainer so as to permit said guide posts to slide along said guide openings, wherein as the sleeve is pushed toward a direction to engage with said resilient retainer, said guide posts of said sleeve slide along said slide slopes and said stop posts stop said guiding posts at the end of the stop posts, whereby the resilient retainer is not pushed downwardly by said sleeve to make said one or more locking hooks engage with said plurality of holes of said tube body.
