Adjustable reusable fitting assembly for reinforced hose

摘要

An adjustable and detachable fitting assembly for reinforced hose having an inner fluid sealing tube and an outer reinforcement. The assembly has a nipple insertible into the tube and a sleeve surrounding the nipple but spaced therefrom so that a cutting edge on the sleeve separates the tube structure allowing one separated portion of the tube to fill the space between the sleeve and nipple with the outer separated portion of the tube and the reinforcement filling a space between the outer surface of the sleeve and a socket threaded thereto. The sleeve rotates about the nipple and is longitudinally adjustable with respect thereto while maintaining connection of the sleeve to the nipple. This allows for compensation for misalignment.
