  • Patent number: 12169038
    Abstract: In the case of a connector for inserting into a receiving depression in a housing, having a stub with a flow channel formed therein, the flow channel extending as far as a frontal end of the stub and being surrounded by a lateral surface. Provision is made for a bracing ring to surround the lateral surface. The bracing ring is designed so that, as a result of an axial force acting on the bracing ring and being directed towards the frontal end, the bracing ring can be pushed all the way onto the lateral surface, an external diameter being increased in the process.

  • Patent number: 12085207
    Abstract: A fluid line quick connector has a retainer and a data matrix. The retainer is caused to move via a spigot upon insertion of the spigot within the fluid line quick connector. The data matrix is obstructed by the retainer when the spigot is not inserted in the fluid line quick connector, and is revealed when the spigot is inserted in the fluid line quick connector. When obstructed, a suitable reading and scanning of the data matrix cannot take place. And when revealed, in contrast, a suitable reading and scanning of the data matrix can occur.
