  • d) der Axialschlitz ist auf einem Teil seiner Länge von einem Deckel überbrückt, der zum Eingreifen in die Anformung ausgebildete Seitenwände und eine diese verbindende Kopfwand aufweist, deren Außenkontur der Kreisform des hinteren Anschlußteils angepaßt ist, und
  • e) die Schutzhülle ist für das ungehinderte Einschieben des Deckelscheitels in den Schlauch auf einem Teil ihrer Länge von der Schlauchinnenwand abgelöst.
    • The stated object is achieved according to claim 1 by the following features:
  • d) the axial slot is bridged over part of its length by a cover having formed for engaging in the Anformung formed side walls and a head wall connecting them, whose outer contour is adapted to the circular shape of the rear terminal part, and
  • e) the protective cover is detached from the hose inner wall over part of its length for the unobstructed insertion of the cover vertex into the hose.

    • Zweckmäßige Aus- und Weiterbildungen des Erfindungsgegenstandes sind in den Ansprüchen 2 und 3 angegeben.Expedient training and further developments of the subject invention are specified in claims 2 and 3.

    Die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung hat den Vorteil, daß ein lose eingelegter Deckel, zum Freilegen und Verschließen des Hohlraumes der Anformung, jederzeit herausgenommen und wieder in den Axialschlitz zurückgelegt werden kann.The inventive construction has the advantage that a loose inserted lid, to expose and close the cavity the molding, taken out at any time and back in the axial slot can be covered.
