Abstract

A conduit-receiving device for receiving a conduit on a packing means handling machine has conduit carriers held along a course of the conduit-receiving device. The carriers are spaced apart from one another by being latched to a wall element of the machine. Each conduit carrier has a base section adjacent to the wall element, and an upper arm section that latches to a first profile section of the wall element to hold the conduit carrier. The upper arm section projects away from the base section. The conduit carrier is held to a second profile section of the wall element by a rear of the base section.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An apparatus comprising a conduit-receiving device for receiving a conduit on a packing means handling machine, said conduit-receiving device comprising a plurality of conduit carriers, wherein said conduit carriers are held along a course of said conduit-receiving device, wherein said conduit carriers are spaced apart from one another, wherein said conduit carriers are latched to a wall element of said machine, wherein each conduit carrier comprises a base section, wherein said base section is adjacent to said wall element, wherein each conduit carrier comprises an upper arm section, wherein said upper arm section latches to a first profile section of said wall element to hold said conduit carrier, wherein said upper arm section projects away from said base section, and wherein said conduit carrier is held to a second profile section of said wall element by a rear of said base section.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each conduit carrier comprises a vertical base section and a supporting arm section, wherein said vertical base section is adjacent to said wall element, wherein said supporting arm section projects away from said base section, and wherein said supporting arm section forms a support for conduits.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said conduit carriers are bow-like.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said conduit carriers have an L-profile.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said conduit carriers have a C-profile.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of said conduit carriers is C-shaped, wherein each of said conduit carries comprises a lower arm section, and wherein said lower arm section forms a support for said conduits.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising a middle arm section between said upper arm section and said lower arm section, wherein said middle arm section forms a support for said conduits.

8. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein said supporting arm section comprises a free end, and wherein an upward pointing partial section is disposed at said free end.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said conduit carriers are each disposed with at least one partial region in an angle corner that is formed by at least one of said wall element and profile wall sections of said wall element.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said wall element comprises openings for mounting said conduit carriers, wherein said openings are spaced apart from one another, wherein said openings define an openings group for receiving a mounted conduit carrier, wherein said wall element comprises an angle section, wherein a first subset of said openings in said openings group is provided in a first profile section of said wall element, and wherein a second subset of said openings group is provided in a second profile section of said wall element.

11. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each conduit carrier comprises a connecting element, wherein said connecting element comprises a hook, wherein said connecting element is disposed on an upper side of a structure selected from the group consisting of said conduit carrier and said upper arm section, and wherein said hook engages over said wall element in a region of an opening thereon.

12. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each conduit carrier comprises a connecting element, wherein said connecting element comprises a sprung detent, wherein said connecting element is disposed on an upper side of a structure selected from the group consisting of said conduit carrier and said upper arm section, wherein said sprung detent engages said wall element in a region of an opening thereon.

13. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of said conduit carriers comprises a retaining element, wherein said retaining element is disposed at a rear of said base section, and wherein said retaining element engages behind said wall element.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein said retaining element comprises a detent.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein said retaining element comprises a retaining lug.

16. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a packing means handling machine connected to said conduit-receiving device.
