Publication number: 20220399594Abstract: A connector for two fluid conduits of different geometries includes a housing having a first and a second connection portion and a fluid channel fluidically connecting both connection portions; a locking element which can be coupled to the housing; and a seal which can be positioned between the housing and the locking element. The locking element and the housing can be positioned relative to one another with respect to the fluid channel such that a receiving portion for receiving the seal is formed between the housing and the locking housing. The first connection portion is designed to connect a first fluid conduit with an elongated cross-section and the second connection portion is designed to connect a second fluid conduit with a round cross-section.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2020Publication date: December 15, 2022Inventors: Dennis Unger, Detlef Henrich, Nina Harm

Publication number: 20170356578Abstract: The invention relates to a hose connector with an inner sleeve (2) and an outer sleeve (3) between which an annular space (5) is formed at least in a first end region (4), in which annular space one end (7) of a fluid line (8) is received. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for the fluid-tight connection of one end of a fluid line to a hose connector. The hose connector is intended to be permanently and securely connected to the fluid line with little effort. Therefore, by means of crimping the inner sleeve (2) and the outer sleeve (3) in the end region (4), a force-fitting and form-fitting connection between the end (7) of the fluid line (8) and the hose connector (1) is formed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2015Publication date: December 14, 2017Applicant: NORMA GERMANY GMBHInventors: Detlef HENRICH, Mathias KRAUSS, Manfred KRUEGER, Stephan MANN
