Abstract

A fixing sleeve firmly fixes a plug to a socket. The fixing sleeve has two half-shells, which delimit a receiving space for receiving at least one part of the plug. A fastener is arranged adjacently to a plug-side end face of the fixing sleeve. An injector assembly includes an injector with a socket, a cable fastened to the plug, and the fixing sleeve.

Claims (42)

1. A fixing sleeve for firmly fixing a plug to a socket, comprising:

two half-shells which delimit a receiving space of the fixing device for receiving at least one part of the plug; and

a fastener arranged adjacently to a plug-side end face of the fixing sleeve, wherein

the fastener is a projection which protrudes radially outward from one of the two half-shells,

an elongate extension is provided on an end face of the fixing sleeve, and

the elongate extension extends away from the fixing sleeve from one of the two half-shells in the longitudinal direction.

2. The fixing sleeve according to claim 1 , wherein

the projection extends in a longitudinal direction of the fixing sleeve beyond the end face side.

3. The fixing sleeve according to claim 2 , wherein

the projection has a guide surface on a side that faces away from the two half-shells and runs obliquely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the fixing sleeve, and

the guide surface is inclined radially inward in a direction of the socket.

4. The fixing sleeve according to claim 1 , wherein

the elongate extension is on a cable-side end face opposite the plug-side end face, and

the elongate extension includes a notch.

5. The fixing sleeve according to claim 1 , wherein

the two half-shells are connected to one another via a hinge.

6. The fixing sleeve according to claim 5 , wherein

the hinge is a film hinge.

7. The fixing sleeve according to claim 1 , wherein

at least one closing element is provided in order to fix the two half-shells to one another.

8. The fixing sleeve according to claim 1 , wherein

at least one of the two half-shells have on an inner wall a groove which is formed to receive a collar of the plug.

9. The fixing sleeve according to claim 8 , wherein

both of the two half-shells have on an inner wall a groove which is formed to receive a collar of the plug.

10. The fixing sleeve according to claim 1 , wherein

at least one of the two half-shells have on an inner wall at least one rib which extends into the receiving space.

11. The fixing sleeve according to claim 10 , wherein

both of the two half-shells have on an inner wall at least one rib which extends into the receiving space.

12. The fixing sleeve according to claim 1 , wherein

the fixing sleeve is a single piece and/or is an injection molded component.

13. An injector assembly, comprising:

an injector with a socket;

a plug;

a cable fastened to the plug; and

a fixing sleeve for firmly fixing the plug to the socket, the fixing sleeve comprising:

two half-shells which delimit a receiving space of the fixing device for receiving at least one part of the plug; and

a fastener arranged adjacently to a plug-side end face of the fixing sleeve, wherein one part of the plug is plugged into the socket and another part of the plug is arranged at least in the receiving space of the fixing sleeve, wherein

the fastener is a projection which protrudes radially outward from one of the two half-shells,

an elongate extension is provided on an end face of the fixing sleeve, and

the elongate extension extends away from the fixing sleeve from one of the two half-shells in the longitudinal direction.

14. The injector assembly according to claim 13 , wherein

the socket has a counterpart fastener in a form of a latching arm, which is formed to engage behind the projection of the fixing sleeve.
