  • Patent number: 10851527
    Abstract: A pull-out hose device includes a hose box with a box housing, a pull-out hose held on the box housing to be pulled out and having at least one hose bend accommodated in the box housing, and a fluid connector for the pull-out hose. According to an illustrative embodiment, the hose box has a box holding frame to which the box housing is removably attachable in a mounting direction and is detachable therefrom in a demounting direction. The fluid connector includes a first connector part disposed on the box housing, to which connector part the pull-out hose is connected with one hose end, and a second connector part disposed on the box holding frame. The first and the second connector parts are connectable to each other in a fluid-tight manner in the mounting direction and are disconnectable from each other in the demounting direction.
