Patent number: 11951531Abstract: The invention relates to the production of profiled hose nipples. The invention was based on the object of providing a method and an apparatus which allow hose nipples of the type outlined in the introduction to be produced in a simple manner such that the formation of burrs is avoided and there is no reduction in diameter. This object is achieved in that during the forming of pipe portions (1) in the apparatus (2, 7, 9) according to the invention in the region of the subsequent ring-shaped webs (4) of the nipple profile (3), the material of the pipe portion (1), at its outwardly pointing end (4), does not come into contact with the tool in the region of the parting joints (6) of the apparatus (2, 7). This can be realized by additional cavities (14) in the tool (2, 7).Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: ContiTech Techno-Chemie GmbHInventors: Dominik Kempf, Harald Jung, Eugen Kositza

Patent number: 11940075Abstract: A pipe having a pipe element for conveying a medium in a flow direction and having a flange element for connecting the pipe element to a connection partner. The pipe element has a pipe body with a media passage opening for conveying the medium in the flow direction. The flange element has a flange body with a media passage opening for conveying the medium in the flow direction. The flange element is arranged at one end of the pipe element in such a way that the media passage openings at least substantially overlap. The pipe has a sensor element which is arranged in the flange body in such a way that at least a portion of the sensor element can be in contact with the medium.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: ContiTech Techno-Chemie GmbHInventor: Dominik Kempf
