Hose repair kit with live swivel coupling

A hose end repair kit, comprising:

• a hose retaining sleeve having a first end with a first opening in communication with an interior portion of the hose retaining sleeve, the first opening configured to receive an end of a first hose into the interior of the hose retaining sleeve when the hose retaining sleeve is mounted on the first hose;
• the hose retaining sleeve further having a second end, opposite the first end, the second end having a second opening;
• a swivel coupling partially inserted into the second opening of the hose retaining sleeve;
• the swivel coupling configured to engage with an interior of the first hose when the hose retaining sleeve is mounted on the first hose;
• wherein the swivel coupling, comprises:
• a first annular member having an outer surface and an inner surface, the first annular member including:
• a first end portion having at least one annular barb on the outer surface and configured to be inserted into the interior of the first hose;
• a second end portion spaced from the first end portion, the second end portion having an opening allowing access to the inner surface of the first annular member wherein there is formed a socket to receive a key;
• an angled shoulder positioned between the at least one annular barb and the second end portion;
• at least one annular groove disposed in the outer surface of the first annular member and positioned between the shoulder and the second end portion, the at least one annular groove containing a seal;
• and
• an annular retaining ring groove disposed in the surface of the first annular member and positioned between the at least one annular groove and the shoulder, the annular retaining ring groove containing a retaining ring which protrudes above the surface of the first annular member;
• and
• a second annular member having an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface defining a bore configured to receive the first annular member, the second annular member including:
• a first end portion having a first opening in communication with the bore;
• and
• a second end portion spaced from the first end portion and having a second opening in communication with the bore;
• an annular recess in the inner surface of the bore, wherein the annular recess is configured to receive the retaining ring when the first annular member is inserted into the second annular member, and wherein the annular recess is aligned with the annular retaining ring groove;
• wherein from a location proximate the first opening in the first end portion of the second annular member to a cylindrical portion of the bore, the inner surface of the bore is frusto-conically shaped;
• wherein, when the first annular member is inserted into the bore of the second annular member:
• the retaining ring is gradually compressed as the retaining ring travels along the frusto-conically shaped inner surface of the bore until it reaches the annular recess and expands into and is seated in the annular recess;
• and
• the angled shoulder of the first annular member conforms with and frictionally engages the frusto-conically shaped inner surface of the bore of the second annular member proximate the first opening, thereby allowing the first annular member to rotate relative to the second annular member.
