A vacuum-insulated line (200) is proposed which has an inner and an outer corrugated hose (101, 102) which are separated from one another by an evacuated intermediate space (103). One of the corrugated hoses is encased with a wound hose (201). The wound hose (201) prevents the line (200) from becoming elongated when it is charged with pressure during the transport of a medium. The wound hose (201) furthermore protects the line against external mechanical loads or damage. The wound hose simultaneously serves as a means for protecting the corrugated hoses against excessive bending. Also proposed is a loading station having a vacuum-insulated line.

The present disclosure provides a leak-proof hose for transportation of fluids therein. The hose comprises an elastic tube with a first end portion and a second end portion. The hose also comprises an extensible cylindrical housing with a first end and a second end, and arranged to substantially accommodate a length of the elastic tube co-axially inside thereof. The hose further comprises a coupling member positioned at the first end of the extensible cylindrical housing. The coupling member have external threads adapted to allow removably attaching of an attachment device therewith. In the present hose, at least the first end portion of the elastic tube is extending outside of the first end of the extensible cylindrical housing and is folded over the coupling member.

A line element includes an inner element, an outer element surrounding the inner element, and a damping element arranged between the inner element and the outer element. The damping element can be made, for example, of knitted wire fabric or a stripwound hose. The damping element can be made in particular of a more easily wearing material than the outer element and/or the inner element, for example of copper.

A wire harness includes at least one conductive path, and an exterior member having a tubular shape and made of resin, the exterior member covering the conductive path. The exterior member includes a flexible tube portion with flexibility and a non-flexible tube portion with low flexibility lower than the flexibility of the flexible tube portion. At least one of the flexible tube portion and the non-flexible tube portion includes a thick portion and a thin portion which are arranged in a tube axis direction, the thick portion and the thin portion being different in thickness.

Methods and apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus includes a substantially cylindrical mount body (350) comprising a first open mouth at a first end of the cylindrical body (350) and a further open mouth at a remaining end of the cylindrical body, a substantially cylindrical inner surface, and an outer surface that includes a plurality of spaced apart substantially parallel recessed regions that extends circumferentially around the body, wherein the cylindrical body (350) is tapered at each end and at least one securing element is located between the recessed regions.

An appliance and a method for removing deposits from interiors of receptacles or facilities by way of explosion technology. The appliance includes a supply device for providing an explosive mixture or its starting components, as well as a transport conduit that is connected to the supply device and serves for transporting explosive mixture to a cleaning location. The transport conduit is designed at least in sections as a transport hose.
