Hose construction with electrical conductor for dissipating static electricity and method of making same

摘要

A hose construction and method of making same are provided wherein such hose construction has an inside surface defining a passage for conveying fluid under pressure and an electrical conductor disposed along the hose construction and having a pair of opposed terminal ends adapted to be placed in communication with the inside passage for dissipating static electricity caused by fluid flow through the passage and wherein such hose construction has an electrically conductive metal clip connected to one of the terminal ends of the electrical conductor and has a portion thereof disposed substantially flush with the inside surface adjacent an associated end portion of the hose construction to facilitate engagement thereof by a hose connector.
