Device for the rapid assembly of a hose connection with an automotive vehicle heat exchanger
First Claim
1. Device for assembling a hose connection with a heat exchanger, particularly of an automotive vehicle, in which a tubular joint is connected to the hose connection on the one hand and, on the other hand, is capable of cooperating with an inlet or outlet nipple of the waterbox of the heat exchanger by an easily dismountable elastic linkage, the tightness between the tubular joint and the nipple of the waterbox being ensured by a seal of an elastomeric type of material and the maintenance in the assembled condition of the joint and the nipple being ensured by at least one lug means carried by one of said joint or nipple and at least one bracket provided with a latching tooth axially oriented and carried by the other of said joint or nipple for the engagement with said at least one lug means, characterized in that a first end of the component carrying the said bracket is fitted with a ring with a conical outer surface, axially mobile in the unassembled condition, and in that the other component is matching so as to fit on the said ring, by pushing said ring during the assembly so as to mask said ring when the two components are assembled.
