Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
A high pressure thermoplastic hose having a compact high coverage reinforcement, characterized in that the reinforcement is a mixed braid made from (1) yarns which intersect and are interwoven with (2) monofilaments or yarns which remain substantially round in cross section when processed in textile machines, whereby stereo interstices are established at the intersection of the (1) yarns and (2) monofilaments or yarns into which interstices is extruded a portion of the adjacent element of the hose.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
A high pressure thermoplastic hose having a compact high coverage reinforcement, characterized in that the reinforcement is a mixed braid made from (1) yarns which intersect and are interwoven with (2) monofilaments or yarns which remain substantially round in cross section when processed in textile machines, whereby stereo interstices are established at the intersection of the (1) yarns and (2) monofilaments or yarns into which interstices is extruded a portion of the adjacent element of the hose.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
A hose according to claim 1 wherein the reinforcement yarns are polyester.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
58 words
A method for bonding a high coverage reinforcement to another element of a hose characterized in that stereo interstices forming sites for mechanical bonding are established by making a mixed reinforcement layer from a combination of interwoven and intersecting (1) yarns and (2) monofilaments or yarns which remain substantially round in cross section when processed in textile machines.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
58 words
A method for bonding a high coverage reinforcement to another element of a hose characterized in that stereo interstices forming sites for mechanical bonding are established by making a mixed reinforcement layer from a combination of interwoven and intersecting (1) yarns and (2) monofilaments or yarns which remain substantially round in cross section when processed in textile machines.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method according to claim 3 wherein the combination of (1) yarns and (2) monofilaments or yarns which remain substantially round in cross section are braided over the softened surface of a tube.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
A method according to claim 3 wherein the mixed reinforcement layer is applied as the outermost reinforcement of a hose and a cover is melt extruded over the outer surface of the mixed reinforcement layer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
12 words
A method according to claim 4 wherein the surface is heat softened.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
14 words
A method according to claim 4 wherein the surface is softened by a solvent.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
78 words
In the manufacture of thermoplastic hose having a high coverage braided polyester textile reinforcement, a method for obtaining mechanical adhesion between a braided reinforcement layer and the adjacent elements of the hose, which comprises: forming a mixed braided layer from a combination of intersecting and interwoven (1) polyester yarns and (2) monofilaments or yarns that retain a substantially circular cross section after braiding to establish stereo interstices and extruding an adjacent element of the hose into the interstices.
