  • Patent number: 8205912
    Abstract: A fluid line coupling includes a receiving part and a locking part connectable to the receiving part. The locking part includes a plurality of elastically resilient spring tongues engageable behind an annular collar formed on a plug-in part that is insertable into the receiving part. A securing part includes a plurality of elongate securing arms. Guide elements are formed on the securing part and the receiving part that are engagable with one another to displace the securing part in relation to the receiving part. In a securing position of the securing part, each securing arm bears against a respective associated spring tongue and prevents the spring tongue from deflecting outwardly. In this manner, the plug-in part is secured by a very high pull-out force against being pulled out of the receiving part.

  • Publication number: 20100148491
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fluid line coupling which has a receiving part (1) and a locking part (15) which can be connected to the receiving part (1) and on which is formed a number of elastically resilient spring tongues (18) which are designed for engaging behind an annular collar (29) which is formed on a plug-in part (28) which is to be inserted into the receiving part (1). Also provided is a securing part (20) on which is formed a number, corresponding to the number of spring tongues (18), of elongate securing arms (22). Guide means (7; 24, 25) are formed on the securing part (20) and on the receiving part (1), which guide means (7; 24, 25) are in engagement with one another for the movement of the securing part (20) in relation to the receiving part (1). In a securing position of the securing part (20), each securing arm (22) bears at the outside against a respectively associated spring tongue (18) and prevents the latter from deflecting outward.

  • Publication number: 20090256032
    Abstract: In devices for fastening at least one object (3) to a support element (8), an engaging arrangement (6) or a fastening arrangement is present by means of which a connection to said support element (8) can be realized. The engaging arrangement (6) or fastening arrangement is mounted on an inner cage (5) that is connected via a number of straight linking parts (15, 16, 17, 18) to an outer cage (4), on which in turn is formed a holding arrangement (1) for the or each object (3). Good decoupling of the holding arrangement (1) from the support element (8) with respect to mechanical vibration is thereby achieved.
