Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
A hose member comprising a plurality of elongated channels provided in a unitary structure of a single flexible material, said single flexible material forming walls of said channels and forming interconnecting webs between said channels, thereby forming said unitary structure, said plurality of elongated channels being arranged adjacent to one another in a parallel row of said unitary structure, means for distinguishing individual ones of said plurality of channels, said means for distinguishing individual ones of said elongated channels being at least one of different cross-sectional channels of said individual ones and different separation distances of said interconnecting webs between adjacent ones of said plurality of elongated channels, and at least one of aperture means and projection means formed in said interconnecting webs for mounting said hose member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
128 words
A hose member comprising a plurality of elongated channels provided in a unitary structure of a single flexible material, said single flexible material forming walls of said channels and forming interconnecting webs between said channels, thereby forming said unitary structure, said plurality of elongated channels being arranged adjacent to one another in a parallel row of said unitary structure, means for distinguishing individual ones of said plurality of channels, said means for distinguishing individual ones of said elongated channels being at least one of different cross-sectional channels of said individual ones and different separation distances of said interconnecting webs between adjacent ones of said plurality of elongated channels, and at least one of aperture means and projection means formed in said interconnecting webs for mounting said hose member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A hose member according to claim 1, wherein said means for distinguishing is said plurality of channels having different cross-sectional shapes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A hose member accOrding to claim 2, wherein said means for distinguishing is also said interconnecting webs having different separation distances between adjacent ones of said plurality of channels.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A hose member according to claim 1, wherein said means for distinguishing is said interconnecting webs having different separation distances between adjacent ones of said plurality of channels.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
A hose member according to claim 4, wherein both aperature means and projection means are provided for mounting said hose member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
A hose member according to claim 4, wherein said aperature means are provided at interconnecting webs having larger separation distances between adjacent channels.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
A hose member according to claim 1, wherein at least a portion of said plurality of elongated channels are separable from the remaining portion of said plurality of channels.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
A hose member according to claim 1, wherein said single flexible material is a synthetic resinous material.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
152 words
A hose member comprising a plurality of elongated channels provided in a unitary structure of a single flexible material, said single flexible material forming walls of said channels and forming interconnecting webs between said channels, thereby forming said unitary structure, said plurality of elongated channels being arranged adjacent to one another in a parallel row of said unitary structure; mounting means for mounting said unitary structure, said mounting means being at least one aperture provided in at least one interconnecting web, said at least one interconnecting web having a larger separation distance between adjacent elongated channels than other interconnecting webs; and means for distinguishing individual ones of said plurality of elongated channels, the distinguishing means being one elongated channel having a hexagonal cross-sectional shape and the remaining elongated channels having circular cross-sectional shapes of different diameters, said distinguishing means further being said interconnecting webs having different separation distances between adjacent elongated channels.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
152 words
A hose member comprising a plurality of elongated channels provided in a unitary structure of a single flexible material, said single flexible material forming walls of said channels and forming interconnecting webs between said channels, thereby forming said unitary structure, said plurality of elongated channels being arranged adjacent to one another in a parallel row of said unitary structure; mounting means for mounting said unitary structure, said mounting means being at least one aperture provided in at least one interconnecting web, said at least one interconnecting web having a larger separation distance between adjacent elongated channels than other interconnecting webs; and means for distinguishing individual ones of said plurality of elongated channels, the distinguishing means being one elongated channel having a hexagonal cross-sectional shape and the remaining elongated channels having circular cross-sectional shapes of different diameters, said distinguishing means further being said interconnecting webs having different separation distances between adjacent elongated channels.
