Abstract
A coupling comprising a receiving element, a securing element, a retaining element and an insertion element, wherein the securing element is adapted to be displaceable between a release position and a locking position along a displacement axis, the securing element being adapted to engage the at least one retaining element in such a manner that a displacement of the securing element from the release position in the direction of the locking position is prevented, and wherein the insertion element is adapted to interact with the at least one retaining element upon insertion of the insertion element into the receiving space of the receiving element in such a way that a displacement of the securing element from the release position into the locking position is enabled.
Claims15
A coupling comprising
- a receiving element,
- a securing element,
- at least one retaining element formed separately from the securing element, and
- an insertion element,
- wherein the insertion element is insertable into a receiving space of the receiving element along an insertion axis,
- wherein the securing element is adapted to be displaceable along a displacement axis between a release position and a locking position,
- wherein the securing element is adapted to engage with the at least one retaining element in its release position, without an insertion element inserted into the receiving space of the receiving element, in such a way that a displacement of the securing element from the release position in the direction of the locking position is prevented,
- wherein the insertion element is adapted to interact with the at least one retaining element when the insertion element is inserted into the receiving space of the receiving element, in such a way that a displacement of the retaining element from the release position into the locking position is enabled.
