The extensible hose (1) comprises a first elastically extensible tubular element (2) and a second tubular element (3) extendable and coaxial to said first tubular element (2). The second extendable tubular element (3) is inserted into said first elastically extensible tubular element (2). Herein proposed is also an extensible hose unit (G) comprising the hose (1) and at least one fitting (11) associable to at least one end of the hose (1), for connecting to liquid dispensing structure and/or a user device.

A pressure hose (1) for a water-carrying system is shown and described, especially for connecting sanitary taps or for connecting parts of the water-carrying system, having a corrugated inner hose (2) made of plastic, wherein at least one hose end (3, 5) of the pressure hose (1) is provided with a connecting piece (4, 6), designed such that it differs from the inner hose (2), for joining the pressure hose (1) to a complementarily designed connecting piece of a sanitary tap and/or a part of the water-carrying system. According to the invention, it is provided that the inner hose (2) and the connecting piece (4, 6) are formed as one piece and the inner hose (2) and the connecting piece (4, 6) are preferably produced via extrusion in a common extrusion process.

Breathable medical circuit components and materials and methods for forming these components incorporate breathable foamed materials that are permeable to water vapor and substantially impermeable to liquid water and the bulk flow of gases. The materials and methods can be incorporated into a variety of components, including tubes, Y-connectors, catheter mounts, and patient interfaces and are suitable for use in a variety of medical circuits, including insufflation, anesthesia, and breathing circuits.

A hose arrangement for a motor vehicle may include a flexible elongated bellows including a plurality of radially orientated pleats and two axial longitudinal ends. The hose arrangement may also include at least one reinforcement rib which, on an outside, is coupled to a pleat tip of a respective pleat of the plurality of pleats in a material-bonded manner via two-component injection moulding. The at least one reinforcement rib may engage about the respective pleat in a circumferential direction. The at least one reinforcement rib may have at least two rib segments disposed following one another in the circumferential direction. Each of the at least two rib segments may radially cover the pleat tip by a segment angle of 30 to 310 in the circumferential direction.

In a method for producing at least a single-walled tubular thermoplastic body in a machine, a nozzle head extrudes at least one tubular preform. The preform is expanded to a predefined dimension in a transverse direction and to a predefined shape in an expansion process using an expanding mandrel, the preform remaining open at the top and bottom. When the at least one preform has cooled off, the expanding mandrel is changed into a non-expanded state and the at least single-walled tubular body is removed from the machine.

A device for producing plastic pipes may include an extruder with a die head and a corrugator, into which a molten plastic tube is introduced by means of the die head to mold the plastic pipe, wherein the corrugator has a molding section, in which molding jaws are guided in pairs in the production direction. In an inlet section of the corrugator, the molding jaws are brought together to form molding jaw pairs towards the start of the molding section, and in an outlet section of the corrugator, the molding jaw pairs are moved apart from each other from the end of the molding section. The guiding apparatus has a guide and/or temperature-control element apparatus having a temperature-control medium channel apparatus through which temperature-control medium can flow, and a guide and/or temperature-control surface apparatus, which faces the outer side of the molding jaws passing through, transferring heat.
