Claims9
A connecting kit for an irrigation hose, wherein it comprises:
- a hollow male body having a first axis of longitudinal extension and having, at an end, a connector equipped with an end head having a first diameter greater than a second diameter of the remaining portion of connector, the head having a first longitudinal extension;
- the male body having, at the other end, a hollow cylindrical portion, equipped with a thread for coupling with a tap or an accessory for irrigation, and an intermediate portion with a polygonal cross-section between said connector and said cylindrical portion;
- a hollow female body, having a second axis of longitudinal extension and having, at an end, a first seat with a polygonal hollow cross-section, configured for housing the intermediate portion of the male body, and, at the other end, a hollow cylindrical protuberance having a third diameter smaller than both the first diameter of said end head and a fourth diameter of the hose;
- the female body having an intermediate section with a hollow cylindrical shape, interposed between the first seat and the cylindrical protuberance, in such a way as to define a sleeve provided with an external thread;
- the intermediate section having a plurality of elastically yieldable plates for locking, in use, the connector inside the female body;
- said plurality of plates being configured to define a narrowing of the intermediate cross-section having a variable diameter at most equal to the first diameter of the end head;
- each plate having an inclined extension relative to the second axis and having a free end facing towards the inside of the intermediate cross-section;
- said plurality of plates and said cylindrical protuberance defining, with the inner walls of the intermediate cross-section, a second seat for the end head having a second longitudinal extension greater than the first longitudinal extension of the end head;
- an outer sleeve provided, on its inner surface, with a thread configured to couple with the thread of the intermediate section of the female portion.
