Hose

摘要

A hose ( 10 ) comprising a tubular body ( 12 ) of flexible material arranged between an inner and an outer helically wound wire ( 22, 24 ). The hose ( 10 ) further comprises an axial strengthening means ( 20 ) adapted to reduce deformation of the tubular body ( 12 ) when the tubular body ( 12 ) is subjected to axial tension, the axial strengthening means ( 20 ) being adapted to exert a radially inward force on at least part of the tubular body ( 12 ) when axial strengthening means ( 20 ) is subjected to axial tension.
