Publication number: 20230358346Abstract: A kink-resistant hose comprises a tubing and at least one anti-kinking member disposed within an interior volume of the tubing. The outer diameter of the anti-kinking member is less than the inner diameter of the tubing, wherein the anti-kinking member and the tubing are coextruded such that the anti-kinking member is free-floating within the interior volume of the tubing. A cross-sectional area of the anti-kinking member is less than the area of a circle with diameter equal to the maximal diameter of the anti-kinking member. The anti-kinking member thereby defines propped open flow channels, extending radially between an outer surface of the anti-kinking member and an inner surface of the tubing at a kink point, for conveying fluid through a kink in the tubing. A restraint mechanism located in at least the first distal end of the tubing restrains longitudinal movement of the anti-kinking member through the tubing.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2021Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: John YEISER, Tim O'CONNOR, Jose ROSSI, Erick WILLIAMS

Patent number: 11566741Abstract: A multi-fitting rotatable fluid connection apparatus comprising a fluid entry fitting and first and second fluid discharge fittings. The fluid entry fitting comprises a first end connector threaded for attachment to a fluid source, and first and second distribution connectors. The first fluid discharge fitting has a first intake connector which receives fluid from the first distribution connector. A first rotation member is coupled between the first intake connector and the first distribution connector such that the first fluid discharge fitting is rotatable about a first axis of rotation. The second fluid discharge fitting has a second intake connector which receives fluid from the second distribution connector. A second rotation member is coupled between the second intake connector and the second distribution connector such that the second fluid discharge fitting is rotatable about a second axis of rotation.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Swan Products, LLCInventors: Timothy J.

Publication number: 20220025999Abstract: Disclosed is a reinforced hose comprising a pressure sleeve concentrically installed over an outer surface of the hose tubing, either above or below the ferrule. An inner diameter of the pressure sleeve is larger than an outer diameter of the hose tubing and the first terminal end of the pressure sleeve is longitudinally aligned with the first open end of the hose tubing. The longitudinal length of the pressure sleeve is greater than that of the ferrule and extends beyond a proximal end of the ferrule. A first interference joint couples the outer surface of the hose tubing to an inner surface of the pressure sleeve, the first interference joint comprising a contact patch located between the second terminal end of the pressure sleeve and the proximal end of the ferrule.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2020Publication date: January 27, 2022Inventors: Tim O'Connor, Erick Williams, Jose Rossi
