  • Patent number: 6044869
    Abstract: An injection hose (1) for concrete construction joints has a substantially liquid-tight base body (2) made of a flexible material such as rubber or plastics that encloses a passage (3). The outer surface (4) of the base body (2) is provided with at least one groove-shaped recess (5) that extends over its whole length. Radial outlets (6) for the liquid injected through the passage (3) are distributed over the length of the recess (5). A strip made of a material that may be compressed under the inner pressure of the injection liquid is received in the recess (5) and covers the outlets (6). A liquid-permeable sheath (8) surrounds the base body (2) and the strip, in the manner of a hose. A single recess (5) extends with a predetermined pitch along a spiral path around the outer surface (4) of the base body (2) or extends parallel to the axis of the passage (3) but has an opening angle of more than 90.degree..

  • Patent number: 5328647
    Abstract: A structural joint is sealed with the aid of an injection hose including a substantially liquid-impermeable base body which envelops a passage channel and which has exit openings distributed over the length of the base body for passage of injection liquid from the passage channel into the joint to be sealed. The exit openings open under internal excess pressure and I close under internal negative pressure. Following injection of the injection liquid into the joint to be sealed, the injection liquid remaining in the injection hose is drawn off from the passage channel.

  • Patent number: 4722479
    Abstract: An injection hose for construction joints in concrete structures includes an essentially liquid-impermeable base structure of flexible material such as rubber or synthetic material and defining a passage duct. The base structure has along its length radial openings for the escape of injection liquid from the passage duct and, along its length in the area of the radial openings, at least one longitudinal depression for receiving a strip of a material which is compressible under the pressure of the injection liquid and which covers the openings. A hose of liquid-permeable material surrounds the base structure and strip. A plurality of radial openings are provided in the base structure, and the associated depressions and strips are distributed around the circumference of the base structure angularly symmetrically in relation to the central longitudinal axis.
