Abstract: A detachable plug connection including a tubular insert part having a retaining projection on its outer circumference, a sleeve-shaped receiving part, and a connecting element connected to the receiving part with an inwardly directed, upwardly pivotable retaining edge that engages behind the retaining projection after pushing in the insert piece. A sleeve-shaped locking element surrounds the connecting element in a sliding manner and can be displaced between a release position, in which the axial sliding movement is transformed into an opening movement of the retaining edge(s) oriented transversally thereto, and a locking position, in which it surrounds the connecting element preventing upward bending in the region of the retaining edge(s) and the connecting element projects above the locking element, in an intermediate or coupling position of the locking element such that the retaining edge(s) can be bent upwards when the retaining projection on the insert piece is pushed in.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sanitary component, namely a stream regulator or stream former for flowing fluid media, consisting of property-defining components in a sandwich-like arrangement in the direction of flow which comprise at least one screen attachment, one diffuser plate assembly as well as a shell body having segments of stream-forming openings extending across its cross-sectional surface. The property-defining components are exchangeable and combinable so as to realize adaptability to different user and user requirements. A locking means is provided e.g. on the inner circumference of the shell body for this purpose as is a corresponding counter-locking means on the outer circumference of the diffuser plate assembly. The diffuser plate assembly exhibits, at least on its exterior, a flow rate class-specifying optical code and the shell body exhibits a stream type-specifying, namely laminar or aerated, optical code.
