1. A set connector assembly for a fluid infusion device, comprising:
- a connector having a body, the body defining a graspable portion and a coupling portion, the coupling portion to be received within a portion of the fluid infusion device, and the graspable portion includes a hub coupled to the coupling portion and a locking arm having a first end coupled to the hub and a second end that has a locking tab to lock the connector to the fluid infusion device, the hub defines a bore that extends along a longitudinal axis of the connector, the first end of the locking arm coupled to the hub such that a space is defined between the locking tab and the hub to receive a portion of the fluid infusion device, the locking arm movable relative to the coupling portion to move the connector between a first, locked position and a second, unlocked position relative to the fluid infusion device and the locking arm extends a distance beyond a perimeter of the coupling portion to provide a force to bias the locking arm into the lock.

Abstract
A set connector assembly for a fluid infusion device is provided. The set connector assembly includes a connector having a body. The body defines a graspable portion and a coupling portion, and the coupling portion is to be received within a portion of the fluid infusion device. The graspable portion has at least one locking tab to lock the connector to the fluid infusion device, and the graspable portion is movable relative to the body to move the connector between a first, locked position and a second, unlocked position relative to the fluid infusion device.

8. A fluid infusion device, comprising:
-
a housing that includes a lock and defines an opening that receives a removable fluid reservoir, the lock spaced apart from the opening; and a set connector assembly removably coupled to the housing to define a fluid flow path from the removable fluid reservoir of the fluid infusion device, the set connector assembly including a connector having a body, the body defining a graspable portion and a coupling portion, the coupling portion receivable within the opening of the housing and coupled to the removable fluid reservoir, and the graspable portion includes a hub coupled to the coupling portion and a locking arm having a first end coupled to the hub and a second end that has a locking tab that engages the lock, the hub defines a bore that extends along a longitudinal axis of the connector for defining the fluid flow path, the locking arm movable relative to the coupling portion to move the connector between a first, locked position and a second, unlocked position relative to the housing and the locking arm extends a distance beyond a perimeter of the coupling portion to provide a force to bias the locking arm into the lock. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
