Patent number: 10220571Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a plug-in connector, and to a plug-in connector comprising a first tubular component and a second tubular component, and also a first connection geometry and a second connection geometry. A method for producing a plug-in connector is to be made available that permits an easier modification of the relative angle between the longitudinal axes of the two components in the finished plug-in connector. To this end, the two connection geometries are arranged in a connection plane inclined with respect to the longitudinal axes, such that the relative angle between the longitudinal axes can be modified by rotating the components. After a relative angle has been selected, the two connection geometries are connected by integral bonding.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2015Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: NORMA Germany GmbHInventors: Stephan Mann, Viktor Stoll, Christoph Steinkamp
