Abstract
A locking element for detachably fixing a fluid-carrying plug to a connector, including, a locking element having at least one spring element, by means of which the locking element is moved automatically into a locking position with the connector as the plug is inserted, and held in its locking position, wherein the locking element has a limb that is moved at right angles to an axis of the connector, in which limb there is formed a bore for the plug to be led through; and characterized in that the locking element consists of a spring steel and the spring element is formed in one piece therewith.
Claims12
A locking system for detachably fixing a fluid-carrying plug to a connector, comprising:
- a locking element having at least one spring element, by means of which the locking element is moved automatically into a locking position with the connector as the plug is inserted, and held in its locking position;
- wherein the plug has at least one collar on the outer circumference, by means of which an actuating element for a first latching element on the locking element is actuated, by means of which the locking element is held in a defined coupling position for an insertion of the plug;
- and
- at least one inclined surface is formed on a vertical aperture of the connector, by means of which inclined surface the first latching element is guided into engagement with a second latching element on the connector as the locking is released.
