Abstract
Textile hose for encasing elongated objects, characterised by having a radially elastic outer layer made from wear-resistant material and at least one inner layer made from thermally insulating material.
Claims10
A textile hose for encasing an elongated object, comprising:
- a) a radially elastic outer textile layer made from wear-resistant material and having radial elasticity;
- and
- b) at least one inner textile layer made from thermally insulating material;
- wherein the outer textile layer and the at least one inner textile layer are joined together in places by a textile binding or by sewing or by bonding, and wherein the outer textile layer and the at least one inner textile layer are constructed as woven fabric, weft-knitted fabric, warp-knitted fabric or braided fabric,
- wherein the textile hose further comprises multifilament threads running axially and elastic threads and multifilament threads running circumferentially, and the outer textile layer and the at least one inner textile layer are joined together along zones extending axially and spaced apart from one another so that the outer textile layer and the at least one inner textile layer both radially expand and contract together due to the radial elasticity of the outer textile layer,
- wherein when the outer textile layer and the at least one inner textile layer contract, the diameter of the textile hose reduces while a wall thickness of each of the outer textile layer and the at least one inner textile layer increases, and the wall thickness of the at least one inner textile layer is greater than the wall thickness of the outer textile layer.
