<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hose including at least one rubber layer, an outer cover, and at least one barrier layer provided between the rubber layer and the outer cover, wherein the barrier layer is configured to prevent rubber from reaching the outer cover from the rubber layer during curing of the hose. <P>SOLUTION: In one embodiment, the rubber layer is a hose inner tube 110, and the outer cover 140 is a braided wire. In another embodiment, the barrier layer 130 includes at least one layer of a polymeric film, and the hose includes at least one reinforcing layer provided between the rubber layer and the barrier layer. In another embodiment, the hose includes at least one intermediate layer provided between the rubber layer and the barrier layer, where the intermediate layer is formed from porous material. In another embodiment, the hose includes at least one retaining layer provided between the barrier layer and the outer cover, where the retaining layer is formed from polymeric material. Optionally, a composite barrier/retaining layer can replace the separate barrier and retaining layers. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
