Abstract
A method is provided for fitting an elastic hose onto a dimensionally stable connector, wherein the method involves the following steps: a) generating a flow of pressurized gas out of the connector; b) bringing the hose end to the connector against the flow direction of the gas out of the connector; and c) reducing the flow cross section of the hose beyond the connection point in order to generate dynamic pressure in the hose, widening the hose end; d) fitting the hose end onto the connector; and e) increasing the flow cross section of the hose beyond the connection point to mount the hose end to the outside of the connector.
