  • Publication number: 20120202374
    Abstract: A plug-type connector has a plug part fittable with a socket part parallel to a predetermined longitudinal axis, both of the parts having a body. One of the bodies is formed with a longitudinally projecting tongue formed at a spacing from the one body with a transversely projecting barb having an angled inner face turned toward the one body, forming an acute angle of 20° to 45° with a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and forming a wedge-shaped seat with a longitudinally extending side face of the tongue. The other of the bodies is formed extending inward from the other body with a longitudinally extending passage through which the barb can pass and is formed at an inner end of the passage with an angled inner face engageable with and generally parallel to the angled inner face of the barb on fitting of the bar through the passage.
