The invention relates to a hose
assembly (24), comprising a plurality of lines (7; 12; 17; 25) for supplying a
welding torch (10) with operating media, such as
welding current,
welding wire, protective gas, and / or control signals, and having at least one
coolant line (19, 19') for feeding a
cooling medium of a
coolant source (21) to a
welding torch (10), and having at least one
coupling element (26) for detachably connecting to a welding unit (2) or to a
welding torch (10) if necessary. A further
coupling element (29) for the at least one
coolant line (19, 19') is integrated in the
coupling element (26), the coupling and decoupling direction of the further coupling element being oriented perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the hose
assembly (24), wherein the coupling elements (26, 29) can each be coupled and decoupled independently of each other.; The invention further relates to a coupling element (26) designed correspondingly, a connector element (35) used therein or a plug-in connection for the at least one coolant line (19, 19'), and a welding device equipped with said elements.
