Abstract
A connection fitting (,) for attaching tubes, corrugated hoses, pipes, cables or other oblong bodies (,), in an opening or hole (,) of a wall (,), of a housing is provided. In this, the connection fitting (,) has an attachment projection (,) that can be anchored in the opening (,) and has retaining projections (,) located on abutment contact studs (,) formed by axial slots (,) that project radially outwardly across from a constriction. The abutment contact studs (,) and their retaining projections (,) are designed such that they have only a part of their retaining effect after insertion of the attachment projection (,) into the opening (,), i.e. they can be moved out of the opening (,) under a loading opposite to the insertion direction. For a final attachment that is resistant to pulling force and compression, an axially movable and somewhat sheath-shaped lock (,) is provided inside the connection fitting (,) which locks the abutment contact studs (,) with their retaining projections (,) in the usage position against a radially inwardly directed deformation, and in particular additionally pivots them outwardly so that the locking and retaining surfaces (,) of the retaining projections (,) engage behind the edge (,) to a greater extent than in the preliminary mounting position.
