Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A joint between a nozzle (1) and a thimble (12) includes a thimble member that has a shoulder (16) which is engageable with a wall portion of a nozzle (1), and an annular groove (14) that receives a retaining ring (8) which is disposed in a circumferential groove (4) formed in a throughhole (2) of the nozzle. An axial passage (6) is formed in the nozzle to allow for lugs (10) which are formed at each end of the retaining ring (8) to be seized by a tool and spread to allow for insertion of the thimble (12). The retaining ring (8) partially engages in both the annular and circumferential grooves (14, 4) and interlocks the thimble (12) and nozzle (1) together.
