  • Patent number: 7290804
    Abstract: Plug connection between a corrugated hose and an unprofiled pipe. A plug connection is provided between a corrugated hose (1) and an unprofiled pipe (31), a holding element (3, 34, 50) that surrounds the unprofiled pipe (31) being connected at least indirectly with the hose end (4), and the end (31) of the unprofiled pipe being surrounded by a sealing ring (16, 17, 30) that is situated before the holding element (3, 34, 50). The sealing ring is connected at least indirectly with the hose (1) so as to form a seal. It is provided that the holding element (3, 34, 50) is situated in the hose end (4) and is held thereby, at least indirectly, by mutual positively locking engagement in the axial direction, and that on the other side of the seal (17, 18, 30) a guide sleeve (18, 25) having an inner diameter that corresponds to the outer diameter of the unprofiled pipe (31) is situated before the holding element (3, 34, 50).

  • Publication number: 20020074111
    Abstract: A heat exchanger for swimming pools, formed of generally cylindrical housing, through which flows a first medium while a second medium flows through a line designed as a spiral within the housing. The spiral shaped line is formed of a corrugated hose and possesses separate connection fittings for the second medium, namely the corrugated hose. The corrugated hose is connected by its end sections which extend in an axial direction to likewise axially extending sections of the separate connection fittings for the second medium.
