Abstract
Abstract The hose pump in particular for drawing flushing liquids out of bodily cavities, is so constructed that the extremities of the hose which is to be inserted into the pump housing have different coupling or plug elements for suction and pressure hoses which are to be connected, and different fitting elements for complementary fitting elements of the pump housing or of the coupling element, whereby the positions of the two extremities in the housing cannot be transposed and accidental reversal of the suction and pressure hoses is prevented.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
In a hose pump for drawing fluids from a body cavity, said pump having a hose having an inlet connector at one end for coupling to a suction hose and an outlet connector at the other end for coupling to a pressure hose, said inlet and outlet connectors being different to prevent inadvertent connection of the outlet connector with a hose other than the pressure hose, a housing for receiving the hose with the inlet connector being in an inlet seat and the outlet connector being in an outlet seat, and means for forcing a fluid through said hose inserted in said housing, the improvements comprising said housing and inlet and outlet connectors having cooperating means to prevent transposition of said inlet and outlet connectors in said housing, said means including one of said inlet and outlet seats having a bore for receiving a pin of the connector associated therewith, the other of said inlet and outlet seats having a pin for insertion in a bore in the connector associated therewith so that the connector associated with the one seat cannot be placed in the other seat.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
187 words
