Hose connector for e.g. automotive hydraulic line has two rings of interlocking claws

摘要

A hose connector consists of two tubular sections that engage with each other end-to-end at an interface. Each interface consists of a petal-like arrangement of curved claws. Each line of claws engages with the opposite set of claws to form a side-by-side interlocking ring that is secured by an external clip-fit locking ring.
