Abstract:
A connection fitting (1) for fastening long bodies to an opening (3), comprising a fastening projection (5) protruding axially from a body of the fitting in a plug-in direction (Pf1), the projection (5) being divided into a plurality of retaining tongues (7) by slots (6) running essentially in an axial direction, the retaining tongues (7) having retaining projections (8) arranged on their outer side and projecting approximately radially outwardly therefrom, at least in the fastening position, such that upon insertion of the fastening projection (5) into the opening (3) the retaining tongues (7) extend beyond a first edge (9) of the opening (3) in the fastening position and the retaining projections (8) grasp at least partially behind the first edge (9), and at least one detent axially spaced from the retaining projections (8) and resting in the fastening position on a second edge (10) lying on an axially opposite side of the opening (3) from the first edge (9) which has been grasped behind, wherein the detent comprises an elastic abutment ring (11) supported on an angled surface (12) of the connection fitting (1), the surface (12) widening outwardly obliquely away from the opening (3), and the abutment ring (11) being displaceable in the axial direction on the angled surface (12) under elastic expansion of its diameter against its elastic restoring force.
