ABSTRACT:
A connecting system for gas lines for respirator or anesthesia apparatus comprising with at least two connecting elements which can be plugged into each other, a first connecting element comprising a Y-piece with an inhalation hose socket, exhalation hose socket and a connector extension piece, and a second connecting element comprising a second connector adapted to be connected with the connector extension piece, the second connector having a tube extension for an endotracheal tube, the first connecting element having at least one resilient securing element which resiliently engages under the force of a spring an annular groove in the outer wall of the second connecting element, and at least one manually operable unlocking element which temporarily overcomes the spring force of the securing element, the first and second connecting elements being freely rotatable in respect to each other. A resilient securing element and an unlocking element are moveably disposed within a peripheral wall area of one connecting element, for example a connector extension of a Y-piece of the connecting system, in such a way that the securing and unlocking elements do not extend beyond the periphery of the connecting elements either in the locked or the unlocked position.
