Abstract

A retaining catch for a socket pipe connection has a substantially circle-arc-shaped catch body, on which is arranged a protrusion which projects from the catch body. The catch body has a catch cross section in a cross-sectional plane as seen radially in a direction transverse to its circle-arc shaped longitudinal extent. The catch body has a bending portion, and the catch body, along the bending portion, has a reduction cross section which is reduced in size—as seen radially—in relation to the catch cross section.
