Abstract:
A device at exhaust-gas extraction hoses for extracting the exhausts from the exhaust pipe on a vehicle, whereby the exhaust-gas extraction hose (1) is adapted to be retained at the vehicle (4) in an exhaust-gas extracting position (A), whereby the exhaust-gas extraction hose (1) includes a retaining device (8) which can be located on the vehicle (4) spaced apart from the exhaust pipe (3) and whereby an end portion (6) of the exhaust-gas extracting hose (1) includes and/or cooperates with a tightening device (7) which can by tightened by bending and/or stretching the end portion (6) in an exhaust-gas extracting position (A) when the retaining device (8) is attached to the vehicle (4). The tightening device (7) comprises at least one spring (10) which can be stretched in such a way that said spring, when the retaining device (8) is attached to the vehicle (4), affects the end portion (6) of the exhaust-gas extracting hose (1) in axial direction (B) or in substantially axial direction (B) such that the end portion (6), through a support (11) mounted thereon and/or through its end edge (12), is held with pressure against the end edge (13) of the exhaust pipe (3) and/or against vehicle part (14) situated adjacent the end edge (13) of the exhaust pipe (3).
Abstract:
A retaining and releasing device for an exhaust-gas extraction nozzle, which nozzle (5) is adapted for extracting exhaust gases from upwardly directed exhaust pipes (3 ) on vehicles, e.g. fire-fighting vehicles, when these vehicles are started and driven in premises for the vehicles, e.g. a fire station. To permit safe retention of the nozzle (5) at the exhaust pipe (3) with sufficient forces without the forces counteracting release of the exhaust pipe (3) from the nozzle (5), the retaining and releasing device includes at least one retaining and releasing arm (29) which is movable between a retaining position (D) wherein it permits retention of the exhaust-gas extraction nozzle (5) at the exhaust pipe (3) and a releasing position wherein it permits release of the exhaust pipe (3) from the nozzle (5), whereby a retaining device (43) is provided to retain the retaining and releasing arm (29) in its retaining position (D) and to release the arm (29) such that the arm can move to its releasing position when the exhaust-gas extraction nozzle (5) reaches a certain position in the premises (1).
Abstract:
A device for connecting an exhaust suction hose (1) to the exhaust pipe (3) of a vehicle (4) in such a way that the exhaust fumes of the vehicle (4) are carried away via the exhaust suction hose (1). The exhaust suction hose (1) being disposed at the top of a workshop or like premises and a dependent part of the exhaust suction pipe (1) being connectable to the exhaust pipe (3) of a vehicle (4) in the premises. The exhaust suction pipe (1) being kept connected to the exhaust pipe (3) while the vehicle is driven about in the premises, and the exhaust suction hose (1) being automatically released from the exhaust pipe (3) when the vehicle (4) is driven out of the premises. To void damage to the exhaust pipe, the exhaust suction hose (1) constitutes and/or cooperates with a tensioning device (12) which can be tensioned by bending and/or stretching an end portion (11) of the exhaust suction hose (1) and which retains the end portion (11) to the exhaust pipe (3) by being tensioned when the exhaust suction hose (1) is attached to the vehicle (4) via a fastening device (10) and when the end portion (11) is passed onto the exhaust pipe (3).
