<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hose with an identification function which allows a person to visually confirm a colored part identifying a kind or an application of hose excellently, and maintain a performance of the hose excellently by keeping the colored part small. <P>SOLUTION: This hose is constituted by winding a reinforcement core 2 spirally around the periphery of a hose body 1, and is provided with a colored part 10 for identifying the kind or the application of the hose near a top portion 5 of the reinforcement core 2 to position along the longitudinal direction of the reinforcement core 2. This can allow a person to visually confirm the color of the colored part 10 easily even when the hose is viewed from any direction because the colored part 10 is wound spirally around the outermost circumference of the hose. Furthermore, the performance of the hose can be kept excellently by reducing the ratio of the colored part 10 consisting of different materials to the whole hose. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
