Abstract
A coupling device for a tube includes a pressure element comprising first and second pressure element segments for exerting a clamping force on the tube. The pressure element includes surfaces that converge towards each other in a radial direction away from the tube and that are directly or indirectly disposed against support elements. The first pressure element segment is placed proximally and the second pressure element segment distally with respect to the tube. The first and the second pressure element segments are each provided with contact surfaces that abut and co-operate with each other at a predetermined incline in relation to the longitudinal axis of the tube such that during tension strain between the coupling and the tube, the first pressure element segment is caused to clamp the tube more tightly and the second pressure element segment endows an increased force on the support elements.
