FLEXIBLER VERBUNDSCHLAUCH

摘要

A flexible composite hose which can be connected to a swageable fitting without creating a weakness in the hose adjacent the end of the fitting. The hose utilizes two or more braided reinforcement layers comprised of yarn formed from twisted strands of reinforcing material. During swaging, the twisted yarn in each reinforcement layer interlocks with the twisted yarn of the adjacent reinforcement layer preventing relative longitudinal motion therebetween and bunching of the reinforcement material which would create a weakness in the hose structure.
