In particular tubular device for channeling a flow medium

摘要

The invention relates to a device for channeling a flow medium such as compressed air. It contains a housing (1) having at least one flow duct (2) running in its interior. Located in the peripheral region thereof is a connection opening (9) which runs in the longitudinal direction (3) of the flow duct (2) and continues from the outer side (6) of the housing as far as the flow duct (2). Provided at the mouth region (23), assigned to the flow duct (2) and located in the interior of the housing, of the connection opening (9) is an at least partially movable sealing arrangement. In its closed position, it seals the flow duct (2) towards the outside. Through the connection opening (9) there may be introduced the connection end (15) of a component to be connected, this thereby expanding at least one sealing part (24) of the sealing arrangement (14). This then encloses the connection end (15) and thus ensures a connection which is sealed towards the outside. <IMAGE>
