Abstract

See full text

A device for forming a press-fit connection with a tube, the device including a socket for insertion of an end section of the tube. The socket includes a wall having at least a first section extending in axial direction, the first section having at least one annular bead providing a housing for at least partially accommodating a sealing element within the socket, and two second sections. Each second section is located immediately adjacent to a bead and commences at a position along an axis of the socket at which a magnitude of a derivative of an outside radius of the wall with respect to the axial position has a local minimum. In addition, each second section has, for every azimuthal position, an inside radius with a minimum at an axial position where the first and second sections terminate and the minimum radius of each second section is smaller than the inside radius at the axial position where the second section commences.
