Hose-connector assembly including outer rubber protector tube which covers entire length of inner resin tube, and method of producing the same

Abstract

A hose-connector assembly including an inner resin tube, an outer rubber protector tube which covers an outer circumferential surface of the inner resin tube over an entire length of the inner resin tube, and a tubular connector which includes an end portion press-fitted in each of at least one of opposite end portions of the inner resin tube. The assembly is produced by forming by extrusion an inner resin tube layer, forming by extrusion an outer rubber protector tube layer having substantially the same length as the inner resin tube layer, so as to cover the outer surface of the inner resin tube layer over the entire length of the inner resin tube layer, to obtain a laminar tubular blank consisting of the inner resin tube layer and the outer rubber protector tube layer, cutting the laminar tubular blank into pieces each of which provides a hose consisting of the inner resin tube and the outer rubber protector tube, and press-fitting the end portion of the tubular connector in each of at least one of the opposite end portions of the inner resin tube.
