Abstract
A coupling part () for a fluid line coupling is provided with a locking element for locking in place a plug-in part that is to be introduced into the coupling (), and with a checking element () to verify proper locking of the plug-in part. The checking element () is equipped with axially flexible spring arms (), which comprise an engagement structure () devised to engage with a latching structure (), and which, in a first checking position, block the checking element () from shifting into a second checking position if the plug-in part is not properly locked. After the second checking position has been assumed, as a result of the actuation by the plug-in part of an actuating structure formed on each spring arm (), the checking element () is out of engagement with the plug-in part, and it is therefore possible to remove the plug-in part from the coupling part in the second checking position of the checking part (), as well, by actuating the locking element ().
