Abstract:

For facilitating mounting of a head section of a sleeve, which is used for guiding a line, in a mounting opening, a reinforcing part is provided. The reinforcing part is placed in the radial direction on the line only after the guiding-through of the line and the insertion of the head section in the mounting opening. The reinforcing part is divided at least into two mutually displaceable sections. After the placing of the reinforcing part on the line, the two sections of the reinforcing part are guided together. Subsequently, the reinforcing part is inserted in the axial direction into the head section of the sleeve. By use of the reinforcing part, the sealing effect of the sleeve is improved, and a twisting of the sleeve in the mounting opening is prevented.
