REINFORCED HOSE

摘要

A reinforced hose (10) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first reinforcing layer (14) having a reinforcement material with a first tensile strength. A second reinforcing layer (18) overlays the first reinforcing layer (14) and includes a reinforcement material with a second tensile strength. The second tensile strength is substantially greater than the first tensile strength. In another embodiment of the present invention, a reinforced hose (10) includes a first reinforcing layer (14) including a reinforcement material having a first level of fatigue resistance and a second reinforcing layer (18) overlaying the first reinforcing layer (14) and including a reinforcement material having a second level of fatigue resistance. The first level of fatigue resistance is substantially greater than the second level of fatigue resistance.
