Patent number: 11536412Abstract: A line element includes an inner element, an outer element surrounding the inner element, and a damping element arranged between the inner element and the outer element. The damping element can be made, for example, of knitted wire fabric or a stripwound hose. The damping element can be made in particular of a more easily wearing material than the outer element and/or the inner element, for example of copper.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2018Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: WESTFALIA METAL HOSES GMBHInventors: Stefan Hauk, Oliver Selter, Dietmar Baumhoff, Karl-Heinz Münker, Andreas Gerhard, Michael Henkelmann, David Christopher Siebels, Sascha Jan Sckudlarek, Matthias Weiss, Karsten Schenk

Publication number: 20190193132Abstract: A method and a device for producing strip wound tube products are disclosed. According to the method, a winding machine winds a strip to produce a strip wound tube and a finishing machine cuts off pieces of desired length from the strip wound tube and connects strip layers in the end sections of the strip wound tube product by way of a joining operation. The finishing machine has a mobile operating head and/or a force decoupling unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2019Publication date: June 27, 2019Applicant: WESTFALIA METALLSCHLAUCHTECHNIK GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 10260661Abstract: The invention relates to line elements (600) consisting of a multi-layer inner element (IE) and an outer element (AE), wherein the inner element (IE) and the outer element (AE) are in contact with each other at points, at lines, over part of the surfaces thereof, or over the full surfaces thereof. Furthermore, a frictional contact protection means extending over the component length is provided, or a frictional layer (121) is provided in the contact region of the inner element (IE) and the outer element (AE). The wear of the outer element (AE) caused by friction can thereby be minimized.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2016Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: WESTFALIA METALLSCHLAUCHTECHNIK GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 8973618Abstract: A stripwound hose expandable from a compressed state to a stretched state includes at least two spiral-wound strips having at least three telescoping portions in a direction of a longitudinal axis. The telescoping portions are arranged in axially overlapping relation, when the stripwound hose assumes the compressed state; and extend in axial side-by-side relation, when the stripwound hose assumes the stretched state. The telescoping portions are hooked to one another when being axially stretched.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2010Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: WESTFALIA Metallschlauchtechnik GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 8453680Abstract: A decoupling element for a conduit includes an interior hose made of metal and a corrugated exterior hose surrounding the interior hose, with a hollow-cylindrical gap formed between the corrugated exterior hose and the interior hose. At least one damping element is arranged in the gap, with the damping element(s) constructed of a woven fabric made of a high-temperature-resistant material and having an outside surface with at least one bulge, wherein the bulge positively engages with a corrugation of the exterior hose. The exterior hose may be a membrane bellows. The woven fabric may be a metallic material. The at least one damping element covers, along the rotation axis, preferably a proportional length of at least 20% of the hollow-cylindrical gap and has preferably a static stiffness in the radial direction of less than 100 N/mm.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2010Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Westfalia Metallschlauchtechnik GmbH & Co.
