Abstract:
Joining and connecting component (1) for corrugated pipes (2) comprising at least one hollow core space (4) encompassed by a casing (3), an insertion opening (5) for receiving a pipe end, at least one breach (6) in the casing (3) at least one locking element (7;8) recieved in the breach of the casing which can be shifted-in and shifted-out radially with respect to the casing (3) with parts (17) which engage a jacket (9) of the corrugated pipe (2), wherein at least two locking splice-clips (12;13) are disposed on an inside face (10;11) of the locking element directed toward the jacket (9) of the corrugated pipe (2), and oriented in the direction of the longitudinal axis (14) of the hollow core space (4), a first end region (15) of these locking splice-clips (12;13) is connected with the inside face (10;11) of the locking element (7;8) and the second end region (16) is directed away from the insertion opening (5) for the corrugated pipe (2) of the hollow core space (4) and is freely movable, at least one partial region of each locking splice-clip (12;13) is implemented so as to be elastic and as a spring and on the free end region (16) of each locking splice-clip (12;13) a lock pawl (17) is implemented and this lock pawl (17) is directed toward the longitudinal axis (14) of the hollow core space (4), the at least one locking element (7;8) being movable radial with respect to the casing for unlocking the lock pawl (17) of all the splice-clips to release a corrugated pipe from the joining and connecting component.
