Abstract
A device for connecting two tubular objects has a connection piece housing and a securing element. The securing element is shaped in a complementary manner with respect to a receiving opening of the connection piece housing and is arranged rotatably in the receiving opening and has an insertion opening for receiving a connection piece. The securing element has securing tabs which are spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction and each have a radially inwardly facing securing body for engaging in shaped features of a connection piece and can be moved from a first position into a second radial position lying radially on the outside. The connection piece housing has, for each securing tab, a ramp surface which is bevelled radially inwards and on which the securing tab rests.
