Connection piece for connecting a hose to a fluid outlet

Abstract

A connection piece for connecting a surface-structured end of a hose extending along a longitudinal direction to a fluid outlet is disclosed, which end comprises at least one recess in its surface, with a sealing space into which the end of the hose can be introduced. A sealing material is arranged in the sealing space, which is sufficiently fluidizable in a first processing state so that a part of the sealing material present in the sealing space can flow into the recess when the end of the hose has been pushed in, and can be hardened in a second processing state.

         16 . A connection piece for connecting a surface-structured end of a hose extending along a longitudinal direction to a fluid outlet, which end comprises at least one recess in its surface, and which defines a sealing space into which the end of the hose can be introduced, and a sealing material arranged in the sealing space, which:
 is sufficiently fluidizable in a first processing state so that a part of the sealing material present in the sealing space can flow into the recess when the end of the hose has been pushed in, and   can be hardened in a second processing state in order that the part of the sealing material which flowed into the recess and the remaining part of the sealing material can positively retain the end of the hose by the engaging of the sealing material into the recess in the sealing space against traction forces acting along the longitudinal axis of the hose;   wherein the sealing space is fluidically connected by a conduit to the fluid outlet.   
     
     
         17 . A connection piece for connecting a surface-structured end of a hose extending along a longitudinal direction to a fluid outlet, which end comprises at least one recess in its surface, and which defines a sealing space into which the end of the hose can be introduced, and a sealing material arranged in the sealing space, which:
 is sufficiently fluidizable in a first processing state so that a part of the sealing material present in the sealing space can flow into the recess when the end of the hose has been pushed in, and   can be hardened in a second processing state in order that the part of the sealing material which flowed into the recess and the remaining part of the sealing material can positively retain the end of the hose by the engaging of the sealing material into the recess in the sealing space against traction forces acting along the longitudinal axis of the hose;   wherein the connection piece further defines a first introductory opening through which an end of a first hose can be introduced into the sealing space, and a second introductory opening through which an end of a second hose can be introduced into the sealing space.   
     
     
         18 . A connection piece for connecting a surface-structured end of a hose extending along a longitudinal direction to a fluid outlet, which end comprises at least one recess in its surface, and which defines a sealing space into which the end of the hose can be introduced, and a sealing material arranged in the sealing space, which:
 is sufficiently fluidizable in a first processing state so that a part of the sealing material present in the sealing space can flow into the recess when the end of the hose has been pushed in, and   can be hardened in a second processing state in order that the part of the sealing material which flowed into the recess and the remaining part of the sealing material can positively retain the end of the hose by the engaging of the sealing material into the recess in the sealing space against traction forces acting along the longitudinal axis of the hose;   wherein the connection piece further defines a first introductory opening through which an end of a first hose can be introduced into the sealing space, and a second introductory opening through which an end of a second hose can be introduced into the sealing space; and   wherein the sealing space is fluidically connected by a conduit to the fluid outlet.   
     
     
         19 . The connection piece according to  claim 16 , comprising a hollow cylinder arranged in the sealing space and onto which the end of the hose can be pushed, wherein the hollow cylinder comprises an open fluid conduit on the end which is connected to the fluid outlet. 
     
     
         20 . The connection piece according to  claim 19 , wherein the sealing material is constructed in such a manner that the sealing material fluidically seals the connection between the end of the hose and the hollow cylinder.
