Patent number: 9234609Abstract: An abrasion-resistant braided hose (1) having an abrasion-resistant layer (4) located between an inner hose (2) and a braiding covering (3). The abrasion-resistant layer is preferably a strip of TeflonĀ® helically or spirally wrapped around the inner hose to allow for flexibility. The abrasion-resistant layer reduces the amount of friction between the inner hose and the braided covering, thereby reducing the likelihood of the inner hose rupturing and failing.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2015Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: Microflex, Inc.Inventors: Italo DeBlasi, Josif Atanasoski

Patent number: 9091375Abstract: An abrasion-resistant braided hose (1) having an abrasion-resistant layer (4) located between an inner hose (2) and a braiding covering (3). The abrasion-resistant layer is preferably a strip of TeflonĀ® helically or spirally wrapped around the inner hose to allow for flexibility or a stripwound interlocking hose. The abrasion-resistant layer reduces the amount of friction between the inner hose and the braided covering, thereby reducing the likelihood of the inner hose rupturing and failing.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2014Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: Microflex, Inc.Inventors: Italo DeBlasi, Josif Atanasoski

Patent number: 6948744Abstract: An exhaust-vibration decoupling connector has an inlet tube (1) extended downstream from a decoupler inlet (2) to an inlet-tube step (22). The inlet-tube step includes a radially inward extension of the inlet tube to a damper seat (23) that includes further downstream extension of the inlet tube. An outlet tube (4) is extended upstream from a decoupler outlet (5) to an outlet-tube step (24) that includes a radially inward extension of the outlet tube to proximate an outside surface of the damper seat. A vibration damper is positioned removably in a damper fixture (3) that includes the damper seat intermediate the inlet-tube step and the outlet-tube step proximate midway between the decoupler inlet and the decoupler outlet. Surrounding the vibration damper, a decoupler bellows (7) has an upstream bellows attachment (9) proximate an outside periphery of the inlet tube and a downstream bellows attachment (10) proximate an outside periphery of the outlet tube.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2004Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: Microflex, Inc.Inventors: Josif Atansoski, Italo DeBlasi

Patent number: 6902204Abstract: An exhaust-vibration decoupling connector has an inlet tube (1) extended downstream from a decoupler inlet (2) to an inlet-tube step (22). The inlet-tube step includes a radially inward extension of the inlet tube to a damper seat (23) that includes further downstream extension of the inlet tube having a bend (36,37) which interlocks with a radially inward extension (24) of an outlet tube to prevent the connector from extension movement. An outlet tube (4) is extended upstream from a decoupler outlet (5) to an outlet-tube step (24) that includes a radially inward extension of the outlet tube to proximate an outside surface of the damper seat. A vibration damper is positioned removably in a damper fixture (3) that includes the damper seat intermediate the inlet-tube step and the outlet-tube step proximate midway between the decoupler inlet and the decoupler outlet.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2003Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: Microflex, Inc.Inventors: Josif Atanasoski, Italo DeBlasi

Patent number: 5769464Abstract: A flexible gas tight pipe coupling has interengaging pipe sections, an end portion of one of which is expanded to form a spheroidal barrel, and an end portion of the other of which is inserted in the barrel and itself expanded to form a spheroidal barrel loosely trapped within the first barrel. A bellows and a protective tubular braid are secured to the pipe sections to provide a gas tight cover over the coupling.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 1996Date of Patent: June 23, 1998Assignee: Titeflex Canada Ltd.Inventors: Italo DeBlasi, Stanley Livshitz
