  • Patent number: 3937498
    Abstract: A casing has a pair of shell sections which are hingedly movable relative to one another between an open and a closed position. A pair of elongated nozzles extends longitudinally of a parting line of the shell sections and is arranged side by side in the casing. A mounting member is provided in the shell sections extending normal to the elongation of the nozzles and connecting the latter. The shell sections are formed with recesses into which portions of the mounting member extend. Arcuate flanges are provided on the shell sections and are so configurated as to be concentric with the respective nozzles when the shell sections are in closed position, and to press a hose slipped onto such nozzle against the same. A tensioning arrangement is provided for drawing the shell sections together when they are in closed position.
