Apparatus for pre-conditioned air hoses and a method of assembling pre-conditioned air hoses

A pre-conditioned air hose assembly comprising:

• a plurality of pre-conditioned air hoses joined together by hook and loop fasteners;
• wherein,
• each hose comprises a first end and a second end having a first portion of a hook and loop fastener attached onto and substantially about a circumference of the first end and the second end of each hose;
• and further,
• an elongated member having a second portion of a hook and loop fastener attached proximate one end to a sidewall proximate the first end of each hose, the elongated member at least partially overlapping the first portion of the hook and loop fastener attached onto the first end of each hose, the elongated member having a length extendable substantially about the circumference of the first end of each hose and a width projecting beyond the first end of each air hose;
• and
• a butted junction between two said hoses wherein said butted junction contains said second end and said first end with said elongated member wrapped substantially about the circumference of both ends of the butted junction.

A method of attaching a plurality of pre-conditioned air hoses comprising:

• sewing a band of a first portion of a hook and loop fastener substantially onto and around a circumference of a first end and a second end of each hose;
• attaching an elongated member with a second portion of a hook and loop fastener onto a width and a sidewall proximate the first end of each hose;
• and
• overlapping the attached elongated member onto a portion of the first end and projecting a width beyond the first end of each hose;
• and
• butting the first end of one hose having the sewn band substantially around the circumference and the attached elongated member against the second end of another hose having the sewn band substantially around the circumference;
• and further,
• wrapping the elongated member substantially around the circumference of the butted ends such that the first portion of a hook and loop fastener of the first and second hose ends face and secure each other with the second portion of the hook and loop fastener of the elongated member.
