  • Patent number: 5413146
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a hose of low cost, which can be installed very easily, which remains reliable over a long period of time, and in which damage to the inner construction can be easily discovered. An auxiliary pressure cord layer 7 is capable of being deformed by the pressure of a fluid in a chamber 9. A float 10 attached to a hose 1 with a mooring line is also attached to a hose body 2 through a connecting member, and when an amount of deformation of the auxiliary pressure cord layer 7 has reached a predetermined value, the connecting member is fractured and the float 10 is separated from the hose 1.

  • Patent number: 5244016
    Abstract: A hose (1) includes a main pressure cord layer (5) for holding a fluid, and an auxiliary pressure cord layer (7) formed so as to sheathe the main pressure cord layer (5) and to form a buffering space (9) for retaining the fluid leaking through the main pressure cord layer (5) between the main pressure cord layer (5) and the auxiliary pressure cord layer (7). The auxiliary cord layer (7) includes first and second cord plies in an asymmetrical structural relation capable of being twisted by the pressure of the fluid leaking through the main pressure cord layer (5). Thus, even if its main pressure cord layer and its rubber tube are damaged leakage of the fluid can be prevented.
