An improved flexible hose for carrying fluids is disclosed. The hose has a first end and a second end, and is typically in a retracted position when no tensile force placed on an end of the hose and in an extended condition when a tensile force of a pulling nature is placed on an end of the hose. The hose has a thermoplastic cover on its outer surface. The thermoplastic cover has an interior surface and an exterior surface. On the interior surface there is a helical member adhered thereto this helical member being comprised of a material capable of carrying a current of electricity. The hose of the present invention stretches at least 100 percent over its at rest position when a pulling force is placed on one end of the hose.
A flexible hose for carrying fluids said hose having a first end and a second end, said hose being in a retracted position when no tensile force placed on an end of the hose and in an extended condition when a tensile force of a pulling nature is placed on an end of the hose, said hose having a thermoplastic cover, said thermoplastic cover having an interior surface and an exterior surface said interior surface having a helical member adhered thereto said helical member being comprised of a material capable of carrying a current of electricity.
A flexible hose for carrying fluids said hose having a first end and a second end, said hose being in a retracted position when no tensile force placed on an end of the hose and in an extended condition when a tensile force of a pulling nature is placed on an end of the hose, said hose having a thermoplastic cover, said thermoplastic cover having an interior surface and an exterior surface said interior surface having a helical member adhered thereto said helical member having a first side and a second side and having a conductive wire in at least one side of said helix for carrying a current.
A flexible hose for carrying fluids said hose having a first end and a second end, said hose being in a retracted position when no tensile force placed on an end of the hose and in an extended condition when a tensile force of a pulling nature is placed on an end of the hose, said hose having a thermoplastic cover, said thermoplastic cover having an interior surface and an exterior surface said interior surface having a helical member adhered thereto said helical member comprising a pair of insulated conductors in a side by side relationship
