  • Patent number: 11703160
    Abstract: A pipe component has a casing embodied as a folded bellows with folds. A tubular support body has an outer circumference and a length extension in a direction of a center line of the tubular support body. The tubular support body is embedded in the casing and supports the casing. The tubular support body has at least one stabilization element and the at least one stabilization element has segments that are axially spaced apart and at least partially extend circumferentially. The segments are connected by one or a plurality of hinges, respectively, along the length extension of the tubular support body. The hinges are arranged in the folds of the folded bellows of the casing.

  • Patent number: 10695701
    Abstract: A fuel filter has a housing having an intake and an outlet. A filter element is arranged in the housing such that a filtered area is separated seal-tightly from an unfiltered area. A flow passage is provided between the unfiltered area and the filtered area. A porous filter member closes off the flow passage, wherein the porous filter member is arranged seal-tightly on a wall arranged about the flow passage. The filter element has a filter medium and a geodetically upper and a geodetically lower terminal disks arranged at end faces of the filter medium. The filter medium is connected seal-tightly to the terminal disks. The flow passage is arranged in the geodetically upper terminal disk that forms the wall.
