VORRICHTUNG ZUR HERSTELLUNG EINER VERBINDUNG ZWISCHEN ZWEI PNEUMATISCHEN SAUGFOERDERLEITUNGEN

摘要

An apparatus for connecting two pneumatic suction-promoting lines which are arranged at an angle to one another is disclosed. A first suction promoting line (8) has a flat or almost flat upper surface, which surface is provided with a multiplicity of openings (9) along its length. A flexible sealing band (7) extends along the length of the first suction promoting line and serves to seal off the openings (9). The connecting apparatus includes a carriage (1) which is movable along the first suction promoting line (8). The carriage (1) is adapted to lift a desired portion of the sealing band off the upper surface of the first suction promoting line (8) so as to expose some of the openings (9) of the first suction promoting line. The second suction promoting line (14) is mounted on the carriage (1) and is located in the free space between the upper surface of the first suction promoting line and the raised portion of the sealing band (7). Also mounted on the carriage in the free space is a connecting line (15) which serves to connect the second suction promoting line (14) with the exposed openings (9) of the first suction promoting line (8).
