| 20110297267 | FLEXIBLE HOSE ASSEMBLY WITH JOINT - Disclosed is a flexible hose assembly with a joint. The flexible hose assembly includes a bellows tube including an extension section integrally formed at one end of the bellows tube and an annular protrusion interposed between the extension section and the bellows tube; a coupling nut coupled with the bellows tube; and a connection member coupled with the bellows tube while being supported by the annular protrusion. A gap is formed between a the extension section and the connection member and gas discharged from the bellows tube flows along the outer surface of the extension section through the gap and is discharged to an outside through a screw coupling section between the connection member and the coupling nut. Since a travelling path of the gas is lengthened, pressure and temperature of the gas are lowered, so that gas explosion is prevented. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20120012220 | FLEXIBLE CONDUIT WITH LOCKING ELEMENT - A flexible conduit for insertion into a body lumen comprises a plurality of elements coupled end to end to define a conduit lumen. A first one of the elements includes a male portion and a female portion. A second element includes a female portion having an inner surface configured to engage a male portion of an outer surface of the first element to form a first ball joint. A third element includes a male portion, an outer surface of the male portion of the third element configured to engage an inner surface of the female portion of the first element to form a second ball joint. The male and female portions of the first element are adapted to frictionally engage the female portion of the second element and the male portion of the third element to establish a rigid connection therebetween. | 01-19-2012 |

| 20160046069 | Process for the Manufacture of an Impermeable Connection Between At Least Two Fluid Carrying Silicone Hose Components and a Fluid Carrying Assembly Manufactured According to Said Process - In a process for the manufacture of an impermeable connection between at least two fluid carrying silicone hose components, the silicone hose components and a silicone connector component are first prepared. Afterwards a fluid silicone mass is applied to at least one connecting area where the silicone hose components abut on the silicone connector components. The at least one connecting area is post cured to harden the silicone mass. In a fluid carrying assembly with at least two fluid carrying silicone hose components and at least one silicone connector component, a fluid carrying connection is manufactured between these components by means of this process. This design results in a connecting technique that is, on the one hand, secure and, on the other hand, enables automation of the manufacture of an impermeable connection and thus of the fluid carrying assembly. | 02-18-2016 |
