  • Patent number: 4784184
    Abstract: An elastic hose for conducting a liquid from a source such as a water fixture or a storage container to a delivery site is disclosed. The hose includes an upper funnel-shaped portion and at least one contiguous lower cylindrically-shaped portion. The upper portion may be stretched over a water fixture, a liquid container, or the like to form a gripping leak-proof seal. The hose has a stretchability of about 400%-1,000%. The lower portion is led to a delivery site. The hose is able to conduct liquid from a source to the delivery site without spills or mess. Moreover, in the case of a leaky faucet, the hose eliminates splashing and substantially decreases the noise generated by the leaking water.
