Abstract
Abstract The fitting has a main part which has two axially spaced corrugations, one for engaging the corrugations of the tube, the other engaging the hose projecting from the tube. A sleeve with outer corrugations engages the hose from the inside. Armoring is clamped separately onto the outside of the main part.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
A fitting for connection to a conduit having a corrugated outer tube and an inner elastic hose, an end portion of the outer tube having been cut for exposing the hose, comprising: a flange part having internal grooves and ridges defining a corrugation pattern for engaging corrugations of the outer tube from the outside, said flange part having additionally an inner threading with smooth corrugation ridges and being axially displaced from said grooves and ridges for engagement of the inner hose where exposed; and a sleeve having smooth-surface thread ways substantially matching the inner threading of the flange part, but being of smaller diameter for being threadedly inserted in said flange part and said hose for clamping the hose against the inner threading while the hose conforms to the contour of the sleeve threading and of the inner threading of the flange part, in that ridges of either threading urge the hose into opposite grooves of the respective other threading.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
160 words
A fitting for connection to a conduit having a corrugated outer tube and an inner elastic hose, an end portion of the outer tube having been cut for exposing the hose, comprising: a flange part having internal grooves and ridges defining a corrugation pattern for engaging corrugations of the outer tube from the outside, said flange part having additionally an inner threading with smooth corrugation ridges and being axially displaced from said grooves and ridges for engagement of the inner hose where exposed; and a sleeve having smooth-surface thread ways substantially matching the inner threading of the flange part, but being of smaller diameter for being threadedly inserted in said flange part and said hose for clamping the hose against the inner threading while the hose conforms to the contour of the sleeve threading and of the inner threading of the flange part, in that ridges of either threading urge the hose into opposite grooves of the respective other threading.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
A fitting as in claim 1, for use at a conduit having an outer armoring, said flange part for being inserted between the armoring and the tube and having an outer conical surface; and a flange means threaded onto the flange part for engaging the armoring from the outside and holding it against said conical surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A fitting as in claim 2, the flange means including an outer sleeve and an annular insert held axial against an inner edge in the outer sleeve and having a conical inner surface for coaction with said conical surface of said flange part.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
A fitting as in claim 1, for use with a tube having a helical corrugation, said groove and ridge pattern being of helical contour accordingly.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
37 words
A fitting as in claim 1, for use with a tube having an annular corrugation, said groove and ridge pattern being annular accordingly, the flange part being axially split; and thread means holding the flange parts together.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
A fitting as in claim 1, said sleeve having a threading with increasing pitch towards its end being inserted.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
A fitting as in claim 1, said sleeve and said flange part being secured to each other.
