A flexible hose has a length of hollow tubing and a closed cuff. A method for manufacturing a flexible hose, has the steps of providing a length of flexible tubing, providing a closable cuff, aligning the closable cuff with the hollow tubing at a closed cuff location, and affixing the closable cuff to the length of hollow tubing by closing the closable cuff around the length of hollow tubing at the closed cuff location, thereby forming a flexible hose having a closed cuff. The method does not include the step of screwing the closable cuff onto the length of hollow tubing. Devices may also contain such a flexible hose.

The present invention relates to a hose line (1) for transporting abrasive media with an electrically conductive reinforcing element (5) running in or on the hose wall (2) and extending in the hose direction (6), wherein an insert (7) made of electrically conducting material is at least partially embedded in the hose wall (2) and extends in the hose direction (6) at a distance from the reinforcing element (5).

The invention relates to production of long spiral-welded large polymer products, as required for pipelines production, chemical, oil and gas and petrochemical industries, agricultural complex and utility services. The object of the invention is to create variants of spiral-welded polymer product with a cellular wall, having the internal or external, or internal and external uniform smooth walls with little material consumption, weight and cost. It should allow making products on site due the use of a thin-walled, lightweight, flexible profile. The object is solved owing to fact that a long hollow thermoplastic profile is used in spiral-welded polymer products, wherein the cross-section of the profile has a form of a closed geometric figure with a convex part having essentially the semi-ring shape and flat part that are connected each other, forming the convex and flat parts of the external surface of the profile, respectively.

The present invention discloses a telescopic hose and the process technology thereof. The telescopic hose comprises an elastic support member that can be configured to conduct strong electricity; the support member comprises a first wire and a second wire, and the first wire and the second wire are arranged in a double helix structure in cooperation with each other; a hose wall that is wrapped around the outer side of the support member, and at least part of the hose wall between the first wire and the second wire forms a corrugated portion. Through the setting of the above structures, the hose can not only conduct strong electricity, but also stretch back and forth and turn at any angle. In addition, the hose structure is relatively simple, the amount of gas and liquid passing per unit time is larger.

An antistatic flexible hose, including: a hose body which is formed of a soft material having flexibility; a conductive layer which is provided along an outer peripheral face of the hose body in an axial direction; a conductive wire which is wound in a spiral shape along the outer peripheral face of the hose body and an outer surface of the conductive layer and which is provided so as to be pressure-welded, in a radial direction, to the outer peripheral face of the hose body and the outer surface of the conductive layer; and a reinforcing member which is provided in a spiral shape along the conductive wire so as to protrude from the outer peripheral face of the hose body and the outer surface of the conductive layer.

One aspect of the invention provides an elastomeric bushing including: a plurality of rigid members defining one or more internal annular ribs and one or more elastic members. The rigid members include: a first internal annular rib adapted and configured to engage a corrugation valley of corrugated tubing; and one or more trailing lips adapted and configured to extend through a central opening of a nut and engage said nut, thereby preventing axial movement of the bushing when a corrugated tubing is advancing through the bushing. The one or more elastic members are adapted and configured to: hold the plurality of rigid members in a substantially annular configuration; allow the plurality of rigid members to expand to allow a corrugation peak to pass under the first internal rib; and hold the plurality of rigid members against the corrugated tubing so that the first internal rib lies within a corrugation valley.

An internal tube for tanks, particularly fuel tanks of automobiles, wherein the tube has a fluid channel and a tube wall that encloses the fluid channel, wherein the tube wall has a multilayer design and is composed of at least three layers, with one inner layer based on at least one polyolefin being provided, with at least one central layer based on at least one polyamide being present, and with one outer layer based on at least one polyolefin being provided.
