Abstract
A tube has an open end and an outer circumference and is formed with a transverse incision which extends inwardly towards the axis and is inclined longitudinally of the tube towards the open end of the latter. A sleeve surrounds the tube with clearance and is formed in its inner circumference with a substantially radial slot. A cylindrical locking member extends normal to the axis of the tube through the incision, being freely slidable therein, and has end portions projecting beyond the tube into the slot. A biasing spring normally biases the sleeve to a position relative to the tube in which the locking member is prevented from sliding in the incision because of the fact that its end portions are received in the slot of the sleeve, until the sleeve is displaced axially of the tube against the force of the biasing spring to a position in which the locking member can freely slide in the incision.
