Abstract
The invention relates to a fluid coupling (1) with tolerance compensation for the flexible connection of two media-conducting elements. The invention was based on the object of improving a fluid coupling (1) of the described type in such a manner that the use of complicated latching systems for transport can be omitted. This object is achieved in that the fluid coupling (1) has at least one transport securing device (8, 12), by means of which a separation of the components (2, 3) of the fluid coupling (1) from one another prior to installation can be prevented.
Claims3
A fluid coupling comprising:
- an inner part having an annular groove proximate a first end, a support collar and a latching lug proximate a second end;
- an outer part having a first end proximate the first end of the inner part, a sleeve shaped region, and a cantilever arm proximate a second end;
- the cantilever arm configured to protrude in a radially clamping manner over the latching lug of the inner part and comprising a bore into which the latching lug projects;
- the inner part and the outer part rotatable in a rotational manner with respect to each other about a common longitudinal direction;
- and
- the sleeve-shaped region having a step that strikes axially against the support collar of the inner part.
