Abstract: A hose extrusion mandrel for manufacturing rubber hoses includes: a solid thermoplastic, elongate core; and a rubber compound outer layer covering a surface of the elongate core. A ratio between a diameter of the core and a thickness of the rubber compound layer may be between 8 and 11.

Abstract: A spiral hose includes: a tube with a first wall thickness; a first reinforcement package, arranged around a circumference of the tube, having a first rubber layer embedding at least one set of a first and second layer of wire wound in a helical path around the tube, a winding direction of the first layer being opposite from a winding direction of the second layer, which first reinforcement package has a first package thickness; a second reinforcement package, arranged around a circumference of the first reinforcement package, having a second rubber layer embedding at least a second set of a third and fourth layer of wire wound in a helical path around the first reinforcement package, a winding direction of the third layer being opposite from a winding direction of the fourth layer, which second reinforcement package has a second package thickness; and a cover layer.

Abstract: A hose fitting and a method for fastening a hose fitting to a hose end section are disclosed. The hose fitting includes a connecting element and holding sleeve. The connecting element includes an insert section configured to be inserted into the hose end section. The holding sleeve includes a fixing section with a fixing part to engage a fixing counter part of the connecting element to fix the holding sleeve to the connecting element. A holding section of the holding sleeve may include radially inward projecting holding projections. The fixing and holding sections may be connected via an intermediate section arranged therebetween. In the fastened state, where the hose fitting is fastened to the hose end section, the holding projection may intrude into an outer sheathing of the hose end section. A clearance can be created between the hose end and the fixing part in the fastened state.
