SAUGARM

A suction arm (1) serves for pumping a fluid from a reservoir (24) to a fluid container (2). The suction arm is of the kind, which comprises a number of pipes (5,7,9,11) connected in series via articulations (6,8,10,12), a suction head (14) and means (21,22) for pivoting the pipes in relation to each other, where a first pipe (5) is connected to the fluid container (2) via a first articulation (6), a second pipe (7) is connected to the first pipe (5) via a second articulation (8), a third pipe (9) is connected to the second pipe (7) via a third articulation (12), where the suction arm (1) comprises a fourth pipe (11), which at a free end (13) opens into the suction head (14), and at the opposite end is pivotably connected to the third pipe (9) via a fourth articulation (11) to at least a position, where the suction head (14) is in a suction position, where the suction head (14) is immersed into the fluid, and a position of rest, where the suction head (14) is pivoted to a height level, which is higher than the height level of the fourth articulation (12). Such a designed suction arm (1) has a large adjustment flexibility and less risk of spillage of aspirated fluid from the fluid container, especially during transport.
