  • Patent number: 10295097
    Abstract: A coupling connection device includes a line coupling connector and a wind guard. The line coupling connector has first and second coupling elements, fitted together in an axial direction. Arresting means of the first coupling element engage with the second coupling element. The wind guard has a plastic shell with a first part-shell and a second part-shell, enclosing a receiving space, and forming first and second line openings, which connect the receiving space to the surrounding region. The first coupling element is coupled in an axially fixed manner in the axial direction to the first part-shell and/or the second part-shell in the receiving space by interlocking engagement. By a movement of the wind guard in the axial direction and away from the second coupling element, an arresting means can be actuated and the first coupling element can be separated from the second coupling element.
