Claim Text:
1. A device for conveying coating powder out of a powder container, wherein the device comprises: a powder conveying tube having a powder inlet via which coating powder from the powder container can be fed to the powder conveying tube by suction; and a powder conveying tube retainer for holding the powder conveying tube; wherein the powder conveying tube is selectively displaceable relative to the powder conveying tube retainer in the longitudinal direction of the powder conveying tube, and wherein for the purpose of cleaning the powder conveying tube, the powder inlet of the powder conveying tube can be closed and a compressed air line can be connected to the powder conveying tube, wherein the powder conveying tube retainer comprises a guide region with an opening arranged coaxially and concentrically to the longitudinal axis of the powder conveying tube through which at least part of the powder conveying tube extends, and wherein: a slider/closure assembly comprising a slider/closure element is provided which is displaceable relative to the powder conveying tube retainer and relative to the powder conveying tube extending at least in part through the opening of the powder conveying tube retainer from a first position, in which the slider/closure element at least partly covers a through-hole of the opening formed in the guide region, into a second position, in which the slider/closure element uncovers the through-hole of the opening formed in the guide region such that the powder conveying tube is displaceable relative to the guide region through the opening of the guide region in the longitudinal direction of the powder conveying tube, and a compressed air outlet of the compressed air line is connected to the slider/closure element such that the compressed air outlet leads into the through-hole of the opening formed in the guide region in the first position of the slider/closure element.
