Abstract
An abrasion-resistant braided hose (1) having an abrasion-resistant layer (4) located between an inner hose (2) and a braiding covering (3). The abrasion-resistant layer is preferably a strip of Teflon® helically or spirally wrapped around the inner hose to allow for flexibility. The abrasion-resistant layer reduces the amount of friction between the inner hose and the braided covering, thereby reducing the likelihood of the inner hose rupturing and failing.
Claims19
An abrasion-resistant braided hose comprising:
- an elongated inner hose having two ends;
- an outer braided covering surrounding the inner hose;
- an abrasion-resistant middle layer located between the braided covering and the inner hose;
- the abrasion-resistant middle layer is an elongated strip wrapped around the inner hose;
- inner rings connected to the ends of the inner hose;
- and
- the abrasion-resistant middle layer located between the braided covering and the inner hose terminating a predetermined distance from the ends of the inner hose to leave space for the inner rings to be connected to the ends of the inner hose.
