Abstract

The attachment (1) includes a suction channel (5), in which a valve (V) is arranged, which is triggered by humidity. The valve comprises a movable fastener body (18) which is forced indirectly through fluid parts carried in an air flow over a actuation element (26) into a blocked position. The actuation element is supplied through a fluid collecting body (F).
