PA-5671-0-VC-USA HOSE ASSEMBLY FOR CANISTER VACUUM CLEANER An electrically conductive hose assembly for a vacuum cleaner includes a hose body having a plurality of resilient helical conductive wires and a handle assembly having a projecting hollow end portion received within the hose body. Handle assembly wires are connected to the hose body wires by terminals fitted over the wire ends and crimped thereto, and a shrink wrap insulation is secured therearound. The hollow end portion has outwardly projecting wire termination blocks defining circumferential slots for removably securing the hose body wire end portions adjacent their connection to the handle wires, and the hollow end portion include a depressed section aligned with that connection. At least one of the hose wires is secured between the hollow end portion and an axially extending resilient arm which is supported from one end in a radially spaced relation from the hollow end portion and has an inwardly extending tab at the other end. A removable sleeve is also disposed around the hose body and has inwardly projecting tabs. Mounting tabs project outwardly from opposite sides of the handle assembly end portion, and engage the sleeve tabs when the sleeve is mounted thereon. |
