Abstract

In a hose arrangement ( 1 ) for a water-conveying system, which arrangement includes a flexible pressure hose ( 2 ) and a connection piece ( 4 ) with a hose nipple ( 5 ) and a ferrule ( 6 ) which receive the pressure hose ( 2 ) therebetween, it is provided that the ferrule ( 6 ) has an inwardly protruding projection ( 12 ) in a ferrule section ( 11 ) projecting axially beyond the hose nipple ( 5 ), by which projection the pressure hose ( 2 ) is displaced radially inwardly behind the hose nipple ( 5 ) to form a constriction ( 19 ) of the inside diameter such that a transition of the inside diameter between the hose nipple ( 5 ) and the pressure hose ( 2 ) is smoothed.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hose arrangement ( 1 ) for a water-conveying system, comprising a flexible pressure hose ( 2 ) and a connection piece ( 4 ) arranged on one hose end ( 3 ) of the pressure hose ( 2 ), the connection piece ( 4 ) has at least one hose nipple ( 5 ) which engages in the pressure hose ( 2 ), and a ferrule ( 6 ) which engages around an outside of the pressure hose ( 2 ), the pressure hose ( 2 ) is held in at least one of a force or form-fitting manner between the hose nipple ( 5 ) and the ferrule ( 6 ), the ferrule ( 6 ) includes a sleeve portion ( 11 ) that projects beyond the hose nipple ( 5 ) at a hose-side nipple end ( 8 ) of said nipple in a direction of extent of the pressure hose ( 2 ), and the ferrule ( 6 ) includes, in the sleeve portion ( 11 ), a radially inwardly directed protrusion ( 12 ) which acts radially on and displaces the pressure hose ( 12 ) such that, compared with a clear inside diameter of the relaxed pressure hose ( 2 ), an inside diameter of the pressure hose ( 2 ) in a region of the sleeve portion ( 11 ) that extends past the hose-side nipple end ( 8 ) is equal to an inside diameter of the hose nipple ( 5 ), the ferrule ( 6 ) has profiling produced by crimping of the ferrule ( 6 ), and as a result of said profiling, an annularly encircling groove ( 14 ) is introduced into the sleeve portion ( 11 ) of the ferrule ( 6 ) on an outer circumferential side in an area past the hose-side nipple end ( 8 ), a groove depth of said groove ( 14 ) predefining a height of the protrusion ( 12 ) formed on an inner circumferential side, and the protrusion ( 12 ) deforms the material of the flexible pressure hose ( 2 ) inward such that a constriction ( 19 ) is formed, in which the inside diameter of the pressure hose ( 2 ) assumes a minimum diameter, and the constriction ( 19 ) is located adjacent to and spaced apart axially from the nipple end ( 8 ) in the direction of extent of the pressure hose ( 2 ), wherein the inside diameter of the pressure hose ( 2 ) is reduced in a region of the protrusion ( 12 ) to a dimension which is smaller than a minimum outside diameter of the hose nipple ( 5 ) and wherein the hose-side nipple end ( 8 ) and the constriction ( 19 ) have a gap therebetween and wherein the constriction ( 19 ) has an apex which is convex from the apex to the hose-side nipple end ( 8 ) and is convex in the opposite longitudinal direction, from the apex, to a portion past the ferrule( 6 ).

2. The hose arrangement ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protrusion ( 12 ) is formed in an encircling manner along the sleeve portion ( 11 ).

3. The hose arrangement ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protrusion ( 12 ) is formed by profiling of the sleeve portion ( 11 ).

4. The hose arrangement ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hose nipple ( 5 ) has, on an outside, holding ribs ( 15 ) by which the pressure hose ( 2 ) is held on the hose nipple ( 5 ) in a form-fitting manner.

5. The hose arrangement ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ferrule ( 6 ) is crimped.

6. The hose arrangement ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hose nipple ( 5 ) has, on an outside, a collar ( 16 ) which forms a stop for at least one of the plugged-on pressure hose ( 2 ) or the ferrule ( 6 ).

7. The hose arrangement ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ferrule ( 6 ) engages at an end side over the hose end ( 3 ) and forms a stop ( 18 ) for the pressure hose ( 2 ) received in the ferrule ( 6 ).

8. The hose arrangement ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protrusion ( 12 ) is arranged on the ferrule ( 6 ) such that a region of minimum inside diameter of the constriction ( 19 ) of the pressure hose ( 2 ) is formed in a manner spaced apart from the nipple end ( 8 ) in the direction of extent of the pressure hose ( 2 ).

9. The hose arrangement ( 1 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pressure hose ( 2 ) is formed in a single layer.
