  • Device for supplying a consumer displaced alongside a compressed air line
    Patent number: 6397886
    Abstract: A device for supplying a consumer displaceable alongside a compressed air line (1) with compressed air. The compressed air line (1) presents a lateral slit (2) through which a hollow flexible tube (10, 10A), which is joined to the consumer, protrudes into the compressed air line (1) and the slit (2) is sealed off from the surroundings by an elastic sealing tape (3, 3A) which in the area of the flexible tube (10, 10A) is deformed by same to avoid pressure losses to the surroundings. The flexible tube (10, 10A) opens into a pipe section (11) which can be displaced inside the compressed air line (1) and its ends are sealed in relation to the walls of the compressed air line (1), and the distance between the seals (12, 13) is greater than the area of the sealing tape (3, 3A) deformed by the flexible tube (10, 10A).
