Flexible conduit assembly for the flow of fluids and a procedure for shaping the flexible conduit for the flow of fluids

1. A fluid flow conduit assembly comprising:

a first flexible conduit ( 11 ) including a closed cross section; and

a connector ( 12 ) including first and second layers ( 13 , 14 ) with the first flexible conduit ( 11 ) extending between the first and second layers ( 13 , 14 ), the first and second layers ( 13 , 14 ) are permanently attached to each other outside of the first flexible conduit ( 11 ), wherein the connector ( 12 ) is made of a plastic film.

2. The fluid flow conduit assembly in accordance with claim 1 , wherein a first portion of the first flexible conduit ( 11 ) is longitudinally curvilinear and disposed between the first and second layers ( 13 , 14 ).

3. The fluid flow conduit assembly in accordance with claim 1 , wherein a first portion of the first flexible conduit ( 11 ) is longitudinally rectilinear and disposed between the first and second layers ( 13 , 14 ).

4. The fluid flow conduit assembly in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the first portion lies in a single plane.

5. A fluid flow conduit assembly comprising:

a first flexible conduit ( 11 ) including a closed cross section; and

a connector ( 12 ) including first and second layers ( 13 , 14 ) with the first flexible conduit ( 11 ) extending between the first and second layers ( 13 , 14 ), and the first and second layers ( 13 , 14 ) are permanently attached to each other outside of the first flexible conduit ( 11 ), wherein the first layer ( 13 ) is welded to the second layer ( 14 ) in a plurality of weld segments ( 15 ) that are linearly perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the flexible conduit ( 11 ).

6. A method of shaping a flexible fluid flow conduit ( 11 ) in which a connecting device ( 20 ) that has a primary form ( 21 ) with a primary pocket insert ( 22 ) and a second pocket insert ( 24 ) is used, the method comprising:

the primary form ( 21 ) of the connecting device ( 20 ) is placed in the primary pocket insert ( 22 ), which reproduces the course of the flexible conduit ( 11 ), the primary layer 13 of the connector ( 12 );

the flexible conduit ( 11 ) is placed in the first layer ( 13 ) of the connector ( 12 ) in the primary pocket insert ( 22 ) of the primary form ( 21 ) of the connecting device;

the second layer ( 14 ) of the connector ( 12 ) is placed in the first layer ( 13 ) of the connector ( 12 ) and the flexible conduit ( 11 ) which are placed in the primary pocket insert ( 22 ) in the shape of the connecting device ( 20 );

the connecting device ( 20 ) is closed off by a second shape ( 23 ) so that the second pocket insert ( 24 ) with the second shape ( 23 ) of the connecting device ( 20 ) fits in the second layer ( 14 ) placed in the flexible conduit ( 11 );

the first layer ( 13 ) of the connector ( 12 ) is permanently attached to the second layer ( 14 ) of the connector ( 12 ).

7. The method in accordance with claim 6 , wherein the first layer ( 13 ) is permanently attached to the second layer ( 14 ) by welding.

8. The method in accordance with claim 7 , wherein the first layer ( 13 ) is permanently attached to the second layer ( 14 ) by welding with high-frequency currents.

9. The method in accordance with claim 6 , wherein the first layer ( 13 ) is permanently attached to the second layer ( 14 ) by welding in basically a line that is perpendicular to a lengthwise axis of the flexible conduit ( 11 ).

10. The method in accordance with claim 6 , wherein the connector ( 12 ) is made of a plastic film.

11. The method in accordance with claim 6 , wherein the connector ( 12 ) is formed about the flexible conduit ( 11 ) by the connecting device ( 20 ).

12. The method in accordance with claim 11 , further comprising:

removing the connecting device ( 20 ) from the connector ( 12 ) after forming.
