Abstract
A coiled hose assembly includes a flexible outer shell formed over a flexible, water-tight inner tubing with hose fittings at both ends, where the assembly is wound around a cylindrical form and heated to anneal the assembly into a coiled configuration.
Claims18
A hose assembly comprising:
- a flexible outer shell having a proximal end, a distal end and a first flexibility;
- a resilient inner hose having a proximal end, a distal end and a second flexibility, wherein the second flexibility is less than the first flexibility, the inner hose configured to be disposed coaxially within the outer shell wherein the second flexibility controls a combined flexibility of the inner hose and outer shell;
- an inlet fitting connected to the proximal end of each of the outer shell and the inner hose, the inlet fitting configured for releasable connection to a water source;
- and
- an outlet fitting connected to the distal end of each of the outer shell and the inner hose;
- wherein the hose assembly is configured to define a resilient spring wherein the resilient spring is configured to be expandable when an extending force is applied near the outlet fitting and to resile to a coiled configuration when the extending force is released.
