Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for the introduction of gas into a liquid, especially for the aeration of water, and includes an elastic hose or tube that is disposed on a rigid profiled support member, whereby the tube has elastically expandable slits and whereby the air can escape into the water, in the form of small bubbles, through the expanded slits. The diameter of the tube is greater than the outer periphery of the profiled support member without recessed area or areas. So that when the air supply is shut off

Apparatus for the introduction of gas into a liquid, especially for the aeration of water, and including an elastic hose or tube that is disposed upon a rigid profiled support member, whereby the tube has elastically expandable slits and whereby compressed air can escape into the water in the form of small bubbles, through the expanded slits, characterized in that the cross-section of the support tube (1, 21, 31) exhibits at least one recessed area (11, 23, 33).
Apparatus according to one of the preceding claims, whereby the ends of the tube (22, 32) are secured via clamps to the support member (1,21,31), characterized in that on the longitudinal portion of the support member (1,21,31) upon which the clamps are disposed, fillers (24, 34) are placed into the recessed area (11, 23, 33) that restore the outer contour of the support member (1,21,31) to the shape that the support member had without recessed area.
Apparatus according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the tube, at least at one of its ends, is secured via clamps to the support member (1,21,31) and the support member (1,21,31) in this region has no recessed area (11,23,33) and the outer perimeter of the support member (11,21,31) corresponds at least to the inner diameter of the tube (2,22,32).
Apparatus according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the tube (2,22,32), in the region of its securement to the support member (11, 21,31) has no elastically expandable slits.
