A coupling, for a fluid line, having a retainer and a coupling body defining a throughbore extending from an inlet opening at a male member reception end which functionally receives a male member. The retainer has a crossbar, with two spaced retainer legs, and at least one locking arm. The retainer is mounted in a moveable manner to the coupling body in radial direction in relation to the throughbore. In a starting position when the male member is not or not fully inserted into the coupling body, one free end of a retainer leg rests upon a blocking surface on the coupling body blocking the retainer from shifting into a locking position, whereby the crossbar is in the starting position, protruding out of the coupling body. At least one free end of a retainer leg is positioned in a receptacle slot in the coupling body when the male member is functionally received into the coupling body and the retainer is shifted into a locking position, whereby the crossbar is essentially positioned in a crossbar receptacle of the coupling body in order to indicate the mounted state. The locking arm features a locking element, which in the starting position, interacts with a complementary locking element on the coupling body securing the retainer releasably within the coupling body. |

1. A coupling, for a fluid line, having a coupling body and a retainer,
wherein the coupling body includes a throughbore, extending from an inlet opening at a male member reception end, whereby the coupling body in a mounted state functionally receives a male member extending through the inlet opening into the throughbore, whereby the retainer includes a crossbar, with two spaced retainer legs, each having a free end whereby at least one locking arm is attached to the crossbar between the retainer legs, whereby the retainer is mounted to the coupling body in a moveable manner in a radial direction in relation to the throughbore, whereby in a starting position, when the male member is not fully inserted into the coupling body, one free end of a retainer leg is resting upon a coupling body side blocking surface of said coupling body, blocking the retainer from shifting into a locking position, whereby the crossbar in the starting position protrudes out of the coupling body, characterized in that at least a free end of one of said retainer legs is positioned in a receptacle slot of the coupling body when the male member is functionally received into the coupling body and the retainer is shifted into a locking position and that in order to indicate the mounted state, the crossbar in the locking position is positioned in a crossbar receptacle of the coupling body, and in that the locking arm includes a locking element, which locking element in the starting position interacts with a complementary locking element of the coupling body releasably securing the retainer within the coupling body. |
