ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for rapid and simple push-in connection of one end of a hose, pipe or similar element. The outer surface of the end is made of a soft material into which at least one retaining device appertaining to the arrangement can be forced to retain the end inside the arrangement. The arrangement comprises an outer part, an insertion part disposed therein which bears the retention devices, and seals disposed in a cavity which can co-act with the external surface of the end. The insertion part has an inherent retaining or locking effect on the pipe or other element and a retaining position wherein it is movable in relation to the outer part. The seals comprise two sealing devices arranged one on either side of a guiding device disposed in the cavity. This guiding device is provided to guide the end while it is being pushed in. After the push-in connection has been made, the guiding element continues to center the end inside the cavity. The guiding and sealing elements form a vibration-damping double seal arrangement with the sealing devices located at a distance from one another, viewed in the longitudinal direction.
