A system for connecting and locking a collector bowl to a connecting housing attached to an air conditioning device. The collector bowl, near its open end, is provided with radially outwardly extending multiple counter-lugs, and the connecting housing, near its open end, is provided with inwardly extending multiple lugs. When the open end of the collector bowl is fitted within the open end of the connecting housing, the counter-lugs are moved past the lugs due to the (discontinuity) areas therebetween and the collector bowl is twisted to produce a connecting engagement between the lugs and the counter-lugs. Snap projections on the collector bowl or spring-load latching parts on the connecting housing, appropriately located, can function to lock the collector bowl to the connecting housing by preventing disengagement of the lugs and counter lugs. |
