• • dass eine Hülse auf einem Schlauch- oder Rohrende durch Crimpen befestigt wird; und
• • dass die Montagebefestigung über die Hülse auf den Schlauch oder das Rohr geschoben wird, wobei die mehreren ersten Beintypen mit jeweils dem ersten freien Ende an einer Außenwand des Schlauches oder Rohres angelegt und die mehreren zweiten Beintypen verbogen werden und im montierten Zustand der Montagebefestigung verbogen bleiben.

The method according to the invention for mounting a hose or a pipe to a wall element is characterized by the following steps:

• • that a mounting fixture is molded from an elastomer; so that a plurality of first leg types each having a first free end and a plurality of second leg types each having a second free end are formed, the first free ends of the first leg types defining a circle corresponding to a diameter of the tube or tube and the second free ends of the second Leg types define a circle whose diameter is smaller than the diameter of the hose or pipe;
• • that a sleeve is attached to a hose or pipe end by crimping; and
• The mounting fixture is slid over the sleeve onto the tube or tube, the first plurality of first leg types being respectively attached to an outer wall of the tube or tube and the plurality of second leg types bent and bent in the assembled mounting mounting position ,

Preferably, the mounting fixture is made of an elastomer. This rubber protection allows noise and shock reduction when passing the pipe through a cover (wall). The invention has the advantage that the assembly mounting according to the invention takes place after the crimping of sleeves on the hoses. This simplifies the installation process and allows shorter hose lengths to be crimped.

The mounting bracket is a rubber molded part and has a symmetrical shape, which allows installation from both sides. The mounting fixture is essentially a disk with legs that are configured such that an opening is formed toward the center of the mounting fixture. According to a preferred embodiment, the mounting fixture has two different types of legs, with four legs for each type. Although the following description of the mounting fixture ascribes four legs of each type, this should not be construed as limiting the invention. The first type is adapted to the outer diameter of the hose, for example. The second type is longer and has a tooth at its free end. The second leg type is flexible or bends when the mounting fixture is pushed onto the hose. The second leg types remain bent when the mounting fixture is seated on the hose or pipe. The thickness of the second leg types adds to the outer diameter of the hose or tube. This total thickness corresponds to the diameter of a hole in the wall (housing wall) in which the mounting fixture should fit. The teeth are used after mounting the mounting bracket to lock the same. The slots between the leg types allow easier flexing of the legs, making it easier to postpone the mounting bracket. The molded ribs reinforce the mounting fixture so that the bend of the assembled mounting fixture is minimal.
