Claims23
Sump device comprising a sump body, with a pipe unit comprising a pipe body wherein the sump body is an injection moulded part of plastics material, wherein the pipe unit is supported by the sump body with play at an outlet end of the of the pipe unit, and wherein an interior space of the pipe body extends between opposed ends of the pipe body, the interior space of the pipe body defined by the pipe body alone, thereby spaced away and separate from the sump body, and wherein the outlet end of the pipe unit is arranged with play at least partially in the direction of a depth direction of the sump body.
Sump device comprising a sump body, with a pipe unit comprising a pipe body wherein the sump body is an injection moulded part of plastics material, wherein the pipe unit is arranged on the sump body with play, wherein a holding device holds the pipe unit with play, wherein the holding device comprises a plurality of holding elements for holding the pipe unit with play, the holding elements being supported by the sump body and spaced apart along a longitudinal direction of the pipe unit, and wherein the holding elements comprise a first holding element proximate a first end part of the pipe body, a second holding element proximate a second end part of the pipe body and a third holding element intermediate of the first and second holding elements.
Sump device comprising a sump body, with a pipe unit comprising a pipe body, wherein an interior space of the pipe body extends between opposed ends of the pipe body, the interior space of the pipe body defined by the pipe body alone, thereby spaced away and separate from the sump body, wherein the sump body is an injection moulded part of plastics material, wherein the pipe unit is arranged on the sump body with play, wherein a holding device holds the pipe unit with play, wherein the holding device is supported by the sump body and holds the pipe unit in a releasable manner, and wherein the outlet end of the pipe unit is arranged with play at least partially in the direction of a depth direction of the sump body.
Sump device comprising a sump body, with a pipe unit comprising a pipe body wherein the sump body is an injection moulded part of plastics material, the sump body including a sump base and a sump opening above the sump base, wherein the pipe unit is supported by the sump body with play proximate the sump opening, the pipe body extending between a first end oriented toward the sump opening and a second end, the second end enclosing an interior space that is spaced above and separate from the sump base for sucking up oil, and wherein the outlet end of the pipe unit is arranged with play at least partially in the direction of a depth direction of the sump body.
