Abstract
Abstract A tubular flexible hose of elastomeric material and the method of making the same, said hose having a reinforcing layer of warp knit net fabric. It can have a helical spring wire under the fabric. The hose is highly resistant to bursting under internal pressure, and has substantially no axial extension and only slight radial stretch and can be readily manufactured.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
81 words
A tubular, flexible hose comprising a body of elastomeric material having embedded therein a reinforcing layer comprising a warp knit net fabric having rows of spaced, circumferentially aligned pillars with the pillars of one row offset from the pillars in the adjacent rows and the ends of the pillars in adjacent rows being connected by stitches and forming diagonally arranged series of openings, said hose having high resistance to bursting under internal pressure, substantially no axial stretch, and slight radial stretch.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
81 words
A tubular, flexible hose comprising a body of elastomeric material having embedded therein a reinforcing layer comprising a warp knit net fabric having rows of spaced, circumferentially aligned pillars with the pillars of one row offset from the pillars in the adjacent rows and the ends of the pillars in adjacent rows being connected by stitches and forming diagonally arranged series of openings, said hose having high resistance to bursting under internal pressure, substantially no axial stretch, and slight radial stretch.
