Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
In combination with a hose comprising an elongate thermoplastic tube having: A. at least one internal longitudinal conduit, B. an opening at one end for the admission of fluid into the conduit, C. a closure at the end distal to the opening for damming the fluid and D. a multiplicity of perforations therein situated between the opening and the closure, the improvement which comprises a heat seal as the closure; said heat seal having apertured means therethrough adapted for the insertion and extraction before and after use, respectively, of readily separable anchoring means, the apertured means being so situated that at least a portion of the heat seal is interposed between the apertured means and the perforations; said heat seal further having a plurality of concentric ridges molded thereinto surrounding the apertured means whereby additional strength and stiffness is imparted to the heat seal and the lateral dimension of the heat seal is substantially equal to the width of the hose.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
161 words
