HOSE COVER AND HOSE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A hose assembly (24) suited for delivering viscous material to a dispenser nozzle (12) at a controlled viscosity and temperature. The hose assembly (24) includes a jacketed hose including an outer hose (34) positioned around an inner hose (36) carrying the mastic and defining an annular passage between the inner hose and the outer hose, and a hose cover assembly (29) adapted to be releasably wrapped around a further remote hose carrying the mastic. The cover assembly (29) includes an elongated strip of flexible material including generally parallel opposite longitudinal edges; a plurality of tubes (80) embedded in the strip and running longitudinally through the strip; and coacting interengageable quick release means (88) such as a zipper on the opposite longitudinal edges of the strip to enable the strip to be wrapped around the hose and secured in position around the hose by releasable interengagement of the quick release means.
