  • Patent number: 11898662
    Abstract: A hose assembly includes an inner hose component, a first braid of reinforcement fiber material that extends around the inner hose component, and a second braid of reinforcement fiber material that extends around the first braid. The first braid and the second braid each has a 3 over 3 braid design, and the first braid has a first modulus and the second braid has a second modulus different from the first modulus. The first braid may be a high strength braid having a strength greater than a strength of the second braid, and the second braid may be a high modulus braid having a modulus greater than a modulus of the first braid. The hose assembly optionally may have a third braid with a high angle configuration of the braid segments. The hose assembly may be combined with an enhanced fitting for securing the hose assembly to fluid system equipment.

  • Patent number: 10132434
    Abstract: A hose assembly includes a fitting including a fitting end received in a shell. A sealing element is located at a junction between the fitting and the shell. The first fitting end has a nipple and the shell has an angled end that define a sealing space, and the sealing element is positioned within the sealing space. External pressure at the junction compresses the sealing element within the sealing space to form an energized seal. The shell may include a first shell end and a second shell end, the fitting end of the fitting being received within the first shell end of the shell. The shell my include a plurality of barbs that extend radially inward from an inner diameter of the shell that can grip into a hose, and a barb located closest to the shell end extends radially inward a smaller distance than other barbs to provide a barrier against ingression of contaminants.
