Patent ID: 8262141

Claim:
A docking system for docking a liquid stream carrying line to a docking body, comprising: a line end having a first form that is conically tapered in the direction of flow; a docking interface, situated on the docking body, having a second form that is conically tapered in the direction of flow; at least one cleaning element equipped on the periphery of the first conically tapered form and extending from the first conically tapered form toward the second conically tapered form; and a sealing ring between and setting apart the first conically tapered form and the second conically tapered form from one another, thereby defining an interspace therebetween, wherein the first conically tapered form and the second conically tapered form are adapted to one another such that, in the docked state, they are mutually set apart in a coupling region by the interspace and concentrically oppose one another, wherein the interspace is present substantially along the entire length of the coupling region; and wherein the at least one cleaning element is configured to capture the liquid that accumulates in the interspace.
