The device includes a socket shaped nipple (14) capable of being inserted into the hose and a resilient portion (16) connecting thereto. The nipple (14) and the resilient portion (16) are manufactured in one piece from a plastic material. The resilient portion (16) is constituted by a nipple comprising radial apertures (17) extending over a major part of its circumference and thin, at least partially annular wall segments (18) between these. The apertures (17) are so deep that the connection between the wall segments is implemented by thin bridges (19) arranged axially disposed in relation to the bridges (19) in the adjacent apertures (17). |
