Patent ID: 7552947

Claim:
A device for connecting two rigid tubular objects, comprising: a male part and a female part, which are interconnectable, the female part including a sleeve which at one of its ends is at least one of connected to and constitutes an integral part of one of said objects and which at its other end is provided with at least one recess, the male part including a tube portion which at one of its ends is at least one of connected to and constitutes an integral part of the other of said objects and at its other end in its outer wall is provided with a transverse edge which is formed by an indentation arranged in the outer wall of the male part; and a sleeve-shaped element being arranged to be placed between the parts when inserting the male part into the female part, the element being provided with at least one resilient tongue with a first means for resiliently engaging the recess of the female part when inserting the element into the female part, and a second means for resiliently snapping into place behind the transverse edge of the male part when inserting the male part into the element, the resilient tongue allowing separation of the female part and the male part by turning the element relative to the male part to a position where the second means of the resilient tongue is placed radially outside the transverse edge of the male part, the resilient tongue, in turning for separation, with a portion in the recess of the female part being raised radially outside the transverse edge of the male part.
