Patent ID: 7631667

Claim:
Hose comprising: an inner layer ( 1 ) of an elastomer material; an embedded reinforcement carrier ( 2 , 4 , 6 , 7 ) of a textile and/or metallic material; an outer layer ( 9 ) of an elastomer material; as well as a coupling having a flange region within the hose end; wherein the coupling comprises a nipple ( 10 ), a supporting flange ( 11 ), and at least one annular lamella ( 12 ) comprising a plate made of steel or of a material having similar strength properties; a first reinforcement carrier ( 2 ) that consists of at least one reinforcement layer runs along the entire inside of the nipple ( 10 ), and makes a transition from the axial to the radial direction of extension in the flange region, whereby the radial region of the first reinforcement carrier ( 2 ) is attached between the supporting flange ( 11 ) and the annular lamella(e) ( 12 ); a second reinforcement carrier ( 7 ) that also consists of at least one reinforcement layer partially or completely holds the outside of the nipple ( 10 ) with its end; a filler material ( 3 ) of elastomer material fills the space between the first and the second reinforcement carrier ( 2 , 7 ) in the region of the nipple ( 10 ); and the coupling is built into the hose in such a manner that all of the hose components associated with the coupling result in a hose/coupling system produced with a material lock.
