Abstract

A locking device for a connecting arrangement between a connecting piece and a plug-type connector, which connecting piece has, radially on the outside, at least one first undercut region extending in the circumferential direction, which plug-type connector has, radially on the inside, at least one second undercut region which is suitable for corresponding with the first undercut region in an engagement position and can be elastically deformed in the radial direction such that the first undercut region and the second undercut region can be engaged or disengaged. The locking device is suitable for preventing a radial elastic deformation of the plug-type connector at least to such an extent that, in the connecting position, the first undercut region and the second undercut region are fixed in the corresponding engagement position.
