Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a marine hose of which a limit mechanism does not work unnecessarily at the time of being wound up to a reel. In the marine hose of the present invention, protruded parts are provided at each axial direction end of the axial direction ends of the hose bodies, said each axial direction end is located at both sides in the axial direction of the connection portion which is provided with limit mechanism. By this, when the marine hose is wound up to the reel, the protruded parts of the hose bodies contact the outer surface of the reel, the outer surface of the limit mechanism does not contact the outer surface of the reel. Thus, large amount of the bending force is not added to the limit mechanism.
Claims4
A marine hose for transporting liquid, comprising:
- a plurality of hose bodies of which the ends in the axial direction are connected each other;
- a plurality of connection portions for connecting the ends of the hose bodies each other;
- a limit mechanism provided to at least one of the connection portions, the limit mechanism releases the connection and closes the ends of the hose bodies when a tensile force having a predetermined amount or larger in the axial direction is added to the connection portion which is provided with the limit mechanism;
- and
- a protruded part provided to at least each axial direction end of the hose bodies located at both sides in the axial direction relative to the connection portion which is provided with the limit mechanism, the protruded part formed so as to protrude toward the radial direction compared to an outer surface of the connection portion which is provided with the limit mechanism.
