  • Patent number: 11326725
    Abstract: An adapter for an expandable hose is an apparatus used to connect an expandable hose to other fluid management tools. The apparatus is also configured to prevent leakages in multi-channel expandable hoses. An objective of the apparatus is to provide a connection for expandable hoses. The apparatus is designed to prevent leakage between expandable hoses and the apparatus. A threaded connector enables attachment of the expandable hose to other hoses. Another unit fits inside the inner channel of an expandable hose, while a third part surrounds the inner channel of the expandable hose. An annular fastener secures the outer channel of the expandable hose to the inner channel. A cover or housing may be added to protect components from damage due to external stimuli. Altogether, the apparatus enables a user to securely attach an expandable hose to a spout, faucet, spicket, another hose, or a variety of other devices.

  • Publication number: 20220082193
    Abstract: A system for a self-recoiling hose provides an expandible-length hose that automatically condenses to a smaller size upon completion of usage. The sheath includes a set of elastic fibers that is interwoven with a set of rigid fibers, thus allowing the expandable hose to elongate to a maximum length that is within a reasonable predetermined length range. This prevents the inner tube from expanding beyond its intended length. The apparatus further provides a connection mechanism for expandable hoses. The apparatus is designed to prevent any possible leakage between one or more expandable hoses and the apparatus. A threaded connector enables chain attachment of the expandable hose to other hoses. Another unit fits inside the inner channel of an expandable hose, while a third part surrounds the inner channel of the expandable hose. An annular fastener secures the outer channel of the expandable hose to the inner channel.
