Abstract

A container for a liquid has a container wall and at least one inner chamber for receiving the liquid. The container has at least one discharge line for discharging liquid located in the at least one inner chamber. The at least one discharge line at least reduces relative movements of regions of the container wall spaced apart from each other.

Claims

1. A vessel for a liquid, the vessel comprising:

a vessel wall defining at least one interior space for accommodating the liquid; and

at least one extraction line for extracting the liquid situated in said at least one interior space, said at least one extraction line at least reduces relative movements of spaced-apart regions of said vessel wall.

2. The vessel according to claim 1, wherein said at least one extraction line has a direction of extent and compensates the relative movements of said spaced-apart regions of said vessel wall in the direction of extent.

3. The vessel according to claim 1, wherein said vessel wall is formed from plastic and said at least one extraction line is formed from metal.

4. The vessel according to claim 1, wherein said vessel wall has a first region and a second region formed opposite one another and said extraction line being a tubular extraction line supports said first region against said second region.

5. The vessel according to claim 1, wherein said vessel wall has a first receptacle and a second receptacle for fastening said at least one extraction line.

6. The vessel according to claim 1, wherein said at least one extraction line (5) is disposed in a lockable and unlockable manner in said vessel wall.

7. The vessel according to claim 4, wherein said vessel wall has at least one flexible zone disposed adjacent to one of said first and second regions of the vessel.

8. The vessel according to claim 7, wherein said at least one flexible zone is formed concentrically around said at least one extraction line.

9. The vessel according to claim 1, wherein said vessel wall has at least one translucent portion.

10. A motor vehicle, comprising:

a vessel for a liquid, said vessel containing a vessel wall defining at least one interior space for accommodating the liquid, and at least one extraction line for extracting the liquid situated in said at least one interior space, said at least one extraction line at least reduces relative movements of spaced-apart regions of said vessel wall; and

a dosing unit for extracting the liquid via said at least one extraction line.
