Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A composite hose adapted for conveying pressurized pulsating fluids comprising a core tube, a fibrous reinforcing material about the core tube and a grounding wire enclosed in a sleeve helically wound about the core tube and disposed between the core tube and fibrous material, said wire and sleeve being substantially coextensive in length with the core tube, said sleeve having an external surface adjacent the core tube and adjacent the fibrous material which is slidable thereover and an internal adhesive surface bound to the wire, whereby the said wire and its enclosing sleeve may slip as a unit relative to the fibrous material and to the core in response to radial expansion of the hose.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
115 words
A composite hose adapted for conveying pressurized pulsating fluids comprising a core tube, a fibrous reinforcing material about the core tube and a grounding wire enclosed in a sleeve helically wound about the core tube and disposed between the core tube and fibrous material, said wire and sleeve being substantially coextensive in length with the core tube, said sleeve having an external surface adjacent the core tube and adjacent the fibrous material which is slidable thereover and an internal adhesive surface bound to the wire, whereby the said wire and its enclosing sleeve may slip as a unit relative to the fibrous material and to the core in response to radial expansion of the hose.
