A plug connection for hoses or pipes as for connecting washing fluid conduits in a motor vehicle comprises a plug receiving member for receiving a connecting plug portion. The connecting plug portion can be latched in the plug receiving member in such a way as to be secured against forces acting axially thereon. The plug receiving member has resilient or spring-loaded latching portions. A securing sleeve is arranged axially slidably on the outside of the plug receiving member. In a first position of the securing sleeve the latching portions are held in a receiving and latching position in which a connecting plug portion can be inserted into and latched in the plug receiving member. In a second position of the securing sleeve it permits the latching portions to move resiliently into a retracted open position for disengagement of an inserted connecting plug portion from the plug receiving member.

1. A plug connection for a conduit comprising:a plug receiving means having an opening for receiving a connecting plug portion, the plug receiving means including biasable latching portions in the opening operable to latch the connecting plug portion in the plug receiving means to secure it against an axially acting force, each said spring tongue portion comprising a respective pressure nose protruding radially outward therefrom, said plug receiving means further comprising an outside periphery and at least one latching projection at said outside periphery; and a securing sleeve on the plug receiving means and slidable axially thereon between a first receiving position and a second position, said pressure noses bearing under a biasing force against an internal wall surface of said securing sleeve when said securing sleeve is in its first position, thereby holding the latching portions in an inwardly disposed receiving and latching position in which the connecting plug portion can be inserted into said receiving means by elastically deforming said securing sleeve radially outward and latched in said plug receiving means, and the securing sleeve in its second position permitting the latching portions to move under their bias into a retracted open position, said securing sleeve further comprising latching grooves being co-operable with said at least one latching projection of said plug receiving means for fixing said securing sleeve in one of said first position and said second position. 2. A plug connection as set forth in claim 1wherein the latching portions are resiliently biasable. 3. A plug connection as set forth in claim 1wherein the latching portions are biasable by spring loading. 4. A plug connection as set forth in claim 1wherein said spring tongue portions are formed integrally with the plug receiver means. 5. A plug connection as set forth in claim 1wherein the plug receiving means has a first end and a securing collar extending circumferentially of the plug receiving means at said first end, and wherein the securing sleeve has a circumferentially extending step at the interior thereof, the securing collar and the step of the securing sleeve co-operating as an axially securing means. 6. A plug connection as set forth in claim 1wherein the plug receiving means and said connecting plug portion each have an axial bore therein for passing a fluid therethrough. 7. A plug connection as set forth in claim 6wherein the axial bore in the plug receiving means has a receiving region and a diametral step in the receiving region. 8. A plug connection as set forth in claim 7 includinga sealing seat for a said connecting plug portion in the region of said diametral step of the plug receiving means. 9. A plug connection as set forth in claim 1wherein the plug receiving means has a connecting plug portion which is integrally formed thereon and which is of a configuration corresponding to said connecting plug portion receivable in the plug receiving means. 10. A plug connection for a conduit comprisinga plug receiving means having an opening therein for receiving a connecting plug portion, the plug receiving means including resiliently deformable spring tongue latching portions in the opening displaceable between a retracted position of clearing the opening and an inwardly displaced position of extending into the opening to latch the connecting plug portion in the plug receiving means to secure it therein against an axially acting force, each said spring tongue portion comprising a respective pressure nose protruding radially outward therefrom, said plug receiving means further comprising an outside periphery and at least one latching projection at said outside periphery; and a securing sleeve on the plug receiving means and slidable axially thereon between a first receiving position and a second position, said pressure noses bearing under a biasing force against an internal wall surface of said securing sleeve when said securing sleeve is in the first position thereof, thereby urging said latching portions into their inwardly displaced position in which said connecting plug portion can be inserted into said receiving means by elastically deforming said securing sleeve radially outward and latched in said plug receiving means, and the securing sleeve in its second position permitting the latching portions for resilient outward displacement thereof into their retracted position for disengagement of the connecting plug portion from the plug receiving means, said securing sleeve further comprising latching grooves being co-operable with said at least one latching projection of said plug receiving means for fixing said securing sleeve in one of said first position and said second position.
