Abstract
A coffee maker contains a flexible tube connecting rigid tubes. A coil spring serves to stiffen and support the flexible conduit and to clamp the end of the same conduit to a more rigid tube. There are closely wound clamping turns at the end of the coil spring which perform the clamping function while the rest of the coil spring stiffens and supports the flexible conduit.
