Vehicle anti-roll system, dynamic handling system hose, and hose coupling

In a vehicle anti-rollover system wherein a fluid under pressure is pulsed through a plurality of tubular conduits to an appropriate number of actuators which act to prevent severe tilt or rollover of the vehicle, the improvement which comprises;

• employing as the plurality of tubular conduits, a plurality of dynamic handling system hoses, wherein each of said dynamic handling system hoses comprises:
• 1. a tubular body comprising a polymeric material exhibiting:
• a. zero or near zero expansion coefficient,
• b. sufficient flexibility to withstand rough terrain,
• c. high tensile strength,
• d. low elongation,
• e. high tolerance to extreme temperature ranges,
• f. high resistance to hydrocarbon fluids, and
• g. relatively low weight compared to conventionally used conduit materials anti-rollover systems:
• 2. a reinforcement around said tubular body;
• and
• 3. a protective cover surrounding said tubular body and said reinforcement;
• wherein each of said plurality of dynamic handling hoses is coupled to one of said appropriate number of actuators by a coupler, said coupler comprising;
• a pair of steel beads having a shell disposed there between, said shell having a composition and thickness effective of overcoming undo hoop stress created by high pressurization and a groove in one of said steel beads such that said groove is underneath said shell, wherein said hose flows into said groove when said coupler is secured to said dynamic handling system hose.
