  • Patent number: 8220498
    Abstract: The invention refers to a charge air hose for motor vehicles, comprising: a hose-shaped base member and a textile reinforcement. In a conventional charge air hose the textile reinforcement is embedded into the base member or it is arranged between two layers of the base member. A continuing dynamic load of the conventional charge air hose leads to delamination of the composite. To solve the problems known from the prior art, the invention provides a charge air hose for motor vehicles, comprising: a hose-shaped base member, a textile reinforcement arranged on the surface of the base member, wherein the hose-shaped base member is a vulcanized, elastomer-containing hose.
