ABSTRACT:
A connecting mechanism for connecting at least one plastic pipeline to a mating opening in a unit part. The connecting mechanism has a housing with a plug-in section selectively connectable to a mating opening on the unit part. The housing has a receiver opening for plugging in a pipeline, and a retainer is arranged in the receiver opening to lock onto a pipeline plugged therein. The plug-in section of the housing has at least one radially elastic arm having a locking catch to clamp behind a surface of the unit part, thereby interconnecting the housing with the unit part. When a pipeline is inserted into the receiver opening of the housing, the pipeline coacts with the locking arm or arms to exclude a radial detaching movement of the locking arm, that otherwise would disengage the locking catches from the unit part.
