Abstract
A low noise hose including a hollow cylindrical sound absorption member made of soft foam material, a synthetic resin net and/or a spiral wire therein, and a sound insulation tube that is made of soft rubber and has a bellow-like shape disposed about the sound absorption member. The sound insulation tube intercepts the hose internal noise, and it is thicker than a conventional hose so that it is resilient to heat, oil or gas. The sound insulation tube has a bellow-like shape so that it shrinks following the pulsation of intake air, and absorbs it.
Claims7
A low noise hose comprising:
- a hollow cylindrical sound absorption member made from a foamed material;
- a sound insulation tube covering an outer periphery of said sound absorption member, said insulation tube having at least portions thereof spaced outwardly from said sound absorption member so as to define a plurality of air spaces therebetween at such spaced portions;
- and
- a net provided on an inner periphery of said sound absorption member for preventing shrinkage of the sound absorption member.
