  • the latching means is formed as a return from the pipe wall, the pipe wall on no conditional by the latching means opening, so that there can enter the intake pipe in any form secondary air, whereby the flow losses are reduced within the suction pipe to a minimum, and so the efficiency of the suction tube is increased, but at the same time a reliable connection of the suction pipe is made possible with a neck element.
  • the geometry of the recess is arbitrary, but preferably square, so that at least one transverse to the longitudinal extent of the suction pipe extending transverse edge is formed, which in particular the positive connection with the latching lug of a to be connected to the suction pipe neck element can be latched.
  • the recess additionally has a second transverse edge, which lies opposite the first transverse edge, and which permits latching on both sides with the latching lug.
  • an opening in the pipe wall is formed, wherein in the opening a latching means forming insert is used.
  • the breakthrough is an already known from the prior art opening of the pipe wall, in which usually engages the latching lug of the neck element. According to this embodiment, it is provided to use in this breakthrough an insert forming the locking means, which reliably closes the opening within the pipe wall, so that no secondary air can penetrate into the suction pipe, wherein the insert at the same time forms a recess into which the locking lug of a lug element can intervene positively.
  • the recess formed by the insert has any geometric shape.
  • a square recess is advantageous since it is possible here to form at least one transverse edge extending transversely to the longitudinal extension of the suction tube, which allows an advantageous form-fitting connection in that the latching nose interacts positively with the at least one transverse edge.
  • the insert and / or the suction tube have or have attachment means, so that the insert and the tube wall can be positively connected.
  • the insert may have latching lugs or latching strips which engage around the pipe wall in a form-fitting manner by elastically displacing the latching lugs or latching strips during the latching process of the pipe wall and then back into their original position and thus also into the latching Arrive latching position.
  • the locking strips formed on the insert advantageously extend on both sides of the insert parallel to the longitudinal direction of the suction pipe, so that a sufficiently large fastening surface between the pipe wall of the suction pipe and the insert is ensured.
  • the insert is adapted by a rounding to the outer contour of the suction tube, in particular does not protrude beyond the outer contour of the suction tube.
  • the insert has a radius corresponding to the radius of the suction tube, so that the outer upper edges of the insert extend parallel to the surface of the suction tube.
  • the insert is so connected to the suction tube, that the use - in the area of the opening - the outer contour of the suction tube continues, thus therefore does not protrude beyond the outer contour of the suction tube, so that the neck element with little play on the suction tube can be attached without canting of the attachment element on the insert or on protruding edges.
  • the insert thus closes flush with the outer contour of the suction tube.
  • the insert can be advantageously secured according to a further preferred embodiment of the invention by a shoulder is formed on the opening in the pipe wall, to which the insert can be fastened.
  • a shoulder is formed on the opening in the pipe wall, to which the insert can be fastened.
  • a molded from parts of the pipe wall, for example bent inward, collar is provided, on which the insert can preferably be supported and can be positively secured.
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous in connection with the aforementioned embodiment, namely the feature that the insert does not protrude beyond the outer contour of the suction tube, as by a formed in the direction of the tube interior paragraph back into the suction attachment of the insert is possible.
  • the insert also preferably closes flush with the outer contour of the pipeline.
  • the insert consists of a plastic or of a metal.
  • the production of the insert made of plastic has the advantage that the insert, for example, very easy to produce by an injection molding process.
  • the attachment to the pipe wall is simplified because a made of a plastic insert can be easily connected to the pipe wall, z. B. by latching.
  • An insert made of plastic also has the advantage that when engaging and disengaging the latch nose low noise pollution.
  • plastic and a use of metal is relatively simple, for example, with a punching process to produce and insert into the breakthrough within the pipe wall.
  • the locking means is electrically conductive.
  • an electrically conductive connection between the neck element and the suction tube can be produced via the latching lug and the latching means, so that, for example, electrostatic charges can be dissipated along the suction tube or through the material of the suction tube.
  • the fact that the electrically conductive connection between the neck element and the suction tube is produced via the latching lug and the latching means is advantageous if provided for the reduction of friction and noise spacers made of electrically insulating material between the - generally made of a metal suction tube and the neck element are because in a simple way a reliable electrical connection is made.
  • a reliable and secure positive connection between the neck element and the intake manifold is ensured by the locking means has sharp contours that ensure a secure positive connection. Due to the sharp contours of the locking means, the locking lug is inhibited to slide on the flanks of the recess, so that, for example, the positive connection does not accidentally triggers.
  • a development of the invention provides that an inlet bevel is formed on the latching means on at least one of the transverse in the suction pipe direction transverse edges.
  • This inlet slope has the advantage that the locking lug with less effort in the return of the locking means can be latched, wherein at the same time preferably a sharp contour is provided at the end of the latch, which ensures reliable locking.
  • the inlet slope reduces the noise level during engagement and disengagement of the locking lug in the locking means.
  • the locking means reduces the flow cross-section of the suction pipe only to a small extent.
  • the return of the latching means projects only so far into the cross section of the suction tube, that overall a reliable positive connection between the extension element and suction tube is guaranteed, but at the same time the flow is not affected by turbulence.
  • it is prevented by curves and bevels in the suction channel that, for example, entrained in the air flow elements on the projecting into the suction channel return or hang.
