Abstract:
The invention relates to a connector (7), in particular for hose lines and/or pipelines, comprising at least one sleeve part (2) and at least one insertion part (3), wherein the insertion part (3) can be or is inserted into a receiving opening (28) of the sleeve part (2) and wherein at least one retaining element (4) is provided for locking the insertion part (3) in the sleeve part (2) in a releasable manner. According to the invention, the retaining element (4) and the insertion part (3) have a two-piece design, and the retaining element (4) can be radially expanded and can be or is mounted on an accommodating segment (32) of the insertion part (3) in a captive and rotationally locked manner and has at least one retaining arm (45, 46) having at least one retaining projection (47, 48) projecting on the outside. The at least one retaining arm (45, 46) has a free end (145, 146) and an end (245, 246) fixed on the retaining-element body (44) and can be moved in a radial direction with respect to the insertion part (3) in a resilient manner in order to lock the at least one retaining projection (47, 48) on at least one locking surface (20) of the sleeve part (2) and for releasing the at least one retaining projection. At least one guiding segment and/or at least one guiding surface (140, 141, 341, 342) is provided on the retaining-element body (44) adjacently to the free end (145, 146) of the at least one retaining arm (45, 46), for the guided action of a releasing tool (5) on the retaining element (4) in order to release the connection of the insertion part (3) to the retaining element (4) and to the sleeve part (2). Such a connector is suitable particularly in the case of cramped installation conditions.
