Claim 14:
15. Toothed washer, in particular for fixing a tube line introduced in a fluid connector in an insertion direction, comprising:
an annular base having a toothed washer central axis, wherein at the inner circumference of the base, cutting teeth are respectively disposed as a single component on the base radially inward and obliquely to the toothed washer central axis and extending in the insertion direction over an overmolded resilient hinge section and an overmolded retaining section connected thereto, wherein the cutting teeth are configured such that in the event of a fixing movement of the tube line, the cutting teeth cut-in against the insertion direction into an outer circumference of the tube line, wherein the cutting teeth include a cutting surface for cutting into the outer circumference of the tube line to be fixed,
wherein the cutting teeth have a support surface, and the support surface is configured set back radially outward as viewed from the cutting surface, so that the cutting-in of the respective cutting tooth is limited during a placing of the support surface onto the outer circumference of the tube line
wherein the support surface is respectively disposed between the cutting tooth and the retaining section as a single component with the cutting tooth and the retaining section, wherein the support surface is connected to the retaining section by a first bending in the hinge section, and by a second bending to the cutting tooth; and
wherein the base extends in an outward direction relative to the toothed washer central axis, and the support surface includes a support angle with the base in a direction pointing away from the toothed washer central axis, which support angle is smaller than a bending angle that the retaining section includes with the base in the direction pointing away from the toothed washer central axis.
